Anne Kaiga Analysis of Research
Analyzing statistical research requires specific procedures. The conclusion depends upon the
statistical procedures used in the study and if they are appropriate. A study conducted in
Johannesburg, South Africa on Very Low Birth Weight (VLBW) in premature infants uses
descriptive statistics and analysis to determine the outcome of very low birth weight in infants. The
study concluded, with low survival rates for infants less than 900 grams with low mean subscales,
and one–third of the babies identified as at risk. The study revealed appropriate conclusions with
statistically significant ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The mean subscales scores of each subject BSID were low identifying the infants as at risk. The low
scores indicate learning disabilities during school and will require long–term follow–up. The
presence of cerebral palsy and severe handicap was nearly the same as other developing countries.
The conclusions were appropriate considering the conditions of the country and the individuals in
the study. The study provided statistical data on children who did not have pre–existing conditions
or risk factors. The findings were opposite of infants with pre–existing conditions and high risk
factors. The percentage of individuals returning for a follow–up also had an effect on the ultimate
outcome of the study. The study conclusions deemed appropriate considering the factors. The study
was statistically significant. Statistical Significance
The study used statistical data that was significant to the accuracy of the results. Collecting data at
different ages and conditions improved the accuracy of the information. The BSID and Chi squared
test measures used to determine the norms of preterm infants were appropriate. The study provided
data on mortality rates and handicaps of the children in the study.

M & M Project Essay
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to provide a written report of the five part M&M project. Part
one was sampling. We were to purchase 3 bags of M&M and record the color counts of each bag in
an Excel spread sheet. For part two we calculated the sample proportions for each color, the mean
number of candies per1.69oz bag, created a histogram for the number of candies per bag, use Excel
to compute the descriptive statistics for the total number of candies per bag and summarize the
information. In part three we located the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of blue, orange,
green, yellow, red and brown. For part four we tested claims for percentages of each color. In the
final part of the project we tested the hypothesis ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The results are as follows:
Sample proportions: blue=.2366, orange= .2099, green= .1702, yellow= .1428, red= .1156, brown=
.1249; the histogram is skewed left
Mean= 55.5667; standard deviation= 2.0003; total # of candies=5001; # of bags= 90
The standard deviation indicates that the difference between the actual number of M&Ms per bag
and the mean number of M&Ms per bag is 2.0003.
Part 3: Method, Analysis, Results The objective of this part of the project is was to construct a 95%
confidence interval for the proportions of blue, orange, green, yellow, red and brown m&ms. The
results were:
Blue (.22477, .24833) Orange (.19867, .22125) Green (.15975, .18058) Yellow (.13308, .15247)
Red (.10672, .12444) Brown (.11581, .13414) Mean (55.153338, 55.979862 Bonus 438
Part 4: Method, Analysis, Results For this portion we were to tests Masterfoods' claims about which
proportion of colors the greatest number of people found attractive.
Blue; H0: p=.24 claim, H1: p[pic] .24; Z= –.5630, Fail to reject
There is insufficient evidence to suggest the true proportion is not .24.

The 7 Ecosystem Functions Between Two Habitats Types
In order to analyze the data for the 7 ecosystem functions between two habitat types (forest vs.
pasture, for example) to address the questions, I am going to use the following statistical analyses: 1.
Nested ANOVA, which will tell us the if there is a significant difference of the ecosystem functions
between two habitat types. 2. Correlation matrix, which will tell us if there is an association between
the microbial respiration and biological nitrogen fixation with the expression and activity of 5
extracellular enzymes. 3. Analysis of beta–diversity patterns of ecosystem functions by principle
coordinate analysis (PCoA). 1. Nested ANOVA: Since the question says that "You have collected
data on 7 ecosystem functions", I am assuming I do not need to describe how I have got the data. As
far as I understood I just need analyze the data by appropriate statistical method(s). The soil
sampling protocol was designed to provide sufficient replication within and across land use types
such that statistically rigorous techniques could be used for comparative analysis of the data for7
ecosystem functions. If I tabulate the data for statistical analysis, it should look like the following:

Understanding the Unbiased Estimator
Terms: 1estimator, estimate (noun), parameter, bias, variance, sufficient statistics, best unbiased
estimator. The Department of Finance and Actuarial Science have recently introduced a new way to
help actuarial science students by hiring tutors. All tutors were selectively picked by the Dean of the
department based on their overall performance. Any student that faces any problem regarding
actuarial science subject can visit the tutor. The tutor room is available every Monday till Friday
8AM to 5PM. The tutor room is open to make sure that students get help for their actuarial science
subject. 2However, is it reasonable that the tutor room is open from 8AM to 5PM? How many
students will actually want to visit the tutor room at the opening hours? The answers to these
questions would help the Department of Finance and Actuarial Science to reduce its hiring expenses
by determining the number of tutor they should hire. By estimating the average number of students
who will visit the tutor room during the opening hours, we can determine whether the Department of
Finance and Actuarial Science can close down the tutor room during some specific hours so that
they can reduce the hiring expenses. Firstly, we need to identify the distribution needed for this test.

Advantages And Disadvantages Of Hypothesis Significance...
Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST)
Sir Ronald Fisher introduced NHST in 1925 and since then it has been a keystone foundation in the
inferential statistical analysis of research data (Tryon 2001). Inferential statistics is a line of statistics
that is widely used by researchers in social sciences to help obtain a value for the population under
study (Argyrous 2011). The NHST is predominantly known as the experimenter's pillar for
constructing inductive inferences from populations under study (Kreueger 2010).
The null hypothesis is defined by Frick (1996) as a statistical calculation constructed in such a way
that "there is no difference between two variables" and assuming that the null is always true, then a
p–value is calculated which is predictably defined as the probability of obtaining a pattern of results
that are statistically insignificant and to indicate if a relationship between two variables exists or not
(Argyrous 2011). However, the calculation of NHST ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Despite the great deal of controversies about the null hypothesis yet it still dominates the field of
social sciences and it is still being used in research that involves scientific psychology (Krueger
2010).
Another prominent weakness of NHST is that it does not give any indication of the magnitude of the
statistical relationships between the two variables under study. However, the NHST reduces the
statistical inference to a process of a binary decision making and that is making a choice between
two alternatives (Sim and Reid 1999). Furthermore, it seems useless and senseless to test a
hypothesis that is almost certainly false any way and that might encourage an undesired, binary
focus on data outcomes (Killeen

Unit 4 Agression Analysis Paper
In this case, we are dealing with a between subject experiment where one of the groups is tested in
condition A while another group is tested with condition B. We can see from the set of data that we
got outliers. To get rid of the outliers, we can calculate the interquartile mean by find the
interquartile range first. This method can help to trim the outliers in the data.
To run a randomization test to determine if there is a difference in the interquartile means between
the two groups, I have to collect the observed data first. The observed data is the participants' data
that we get from two different groups (condition A and condition B). After I did this, I have to
decide on the test statistic or observed statistic that I would use to compare with the simulation of
the null model. If I get test statistics that is very unlikely to happen under the null model, it means
that the null model is possibly wrong. In this case, I used interquartile mean as the test statistic.

I did this simulation by ripping paper into 32 small pieces of papers (because there are 32
participants that join this study) and then write each participant's data on each paper. By doing this
way, I can easily re–assign and randomize each data to a group. Then, I repeated this randomization
processes 20 times/simulations (as the question asked me to do 20 times). I calculated the
interquartile range difference for each of the randomization process/simulation that I did. Image 1.0
shows the difference of interquartile range in condition A and B that I got from the simulation that I

useful, its limitations, along with what this writer learned in the process of creating a unique
statistical model of this writer's liking and understanding.
Decision's Model in Outline Form Is your question adequate and sufficient? This is determined by
figuring out whether if you have put enough thought into your question, if only you can answer the
following 4 questions (Sukal, 2013).
(1). What is your overarching research question? (Sukal, 2013)
Note: According to Sukal (2013), this can be determined by figuring out whether if there are
keywords within the question, such as "effects" to refer to cause and effect (Sukal, 2013). The word
"association", indicates figuring out if there is a relationship amongst the variables (Sukal, 2013).
The word "prediction" can signify regression (Sukal, 2013).
(2). How many Independent Variables (IV), Dependent Variables (DV), and covariate variables are
in the study? (Sukal, 2013).
Note: The dependent variable is thought of as the criterion or consequence variable, while
independent variable is thought to be the predictor or the variable that brings out an effect on the

To ensure randomness on our research, TI–84 calculator was also used to generate random numbers
from 1 to 7 that are assigned to every 30 minute time intervals during the day. Procedure A number
from one to seven was assigned to seven different 30 minute time intervals during the day. To avoid
bias, a TI–84 calculator was used to select the timeframe of observations for each day from Monday
to Friday. The first five numbers generated was the timeframes that we used for the observation. The
randomly selected time(s) are summarized on Table 1.0 on the right. During the observation, an
observer from the group stood in front of the information desk on the first floor of the Holman
Library to count how many people came into the library using a tally counter, and how many people
first went to the information desk for help by drawing tally on a sheet of paper at the same time. As
for the data analysis, the criterion for significance for all data was set at α=0.01. Results The
observation that were conducted from October 19th to October 23rd went very well. Sometimes a
group of future students who enters the library for a tour would first visit the information desk to get
more info about the library. We thought that since this does not happen at a daily basis, their visit
would keep us away from getting the accurate result. We were glad that it did not happen during the

I first discovered my interest in statistics in my sophomore year at the University of California,
Berkeley. In a statistics lecture, the professor explained how statistics can be applied in real life by
giving an example that Amazon often promotes products by emailing its customers and
recommending products according to sophisticated analysis of customers' search records, as well as
their transaction data. Previously having been immersed in the world of abstract statistics, I realized
that in addition to being an essential tool to confirm theories already proposed, data itself can lead to
entirely new ideas. The data patterns can be interpreted from many different perspectives, which
triggered my eagerness to explore the stories hidden in data and improve my understanding of the
world through data analysis.
With a strong urge to enhance my quantitative foundation, I finished all my courses in mathematics

Statistical Analysis And Quantitative Methods
Looking back, this course was very helpful in expanding my knowledge pertaining to statistical
analysis and quantitative methods. Although I had some knowledge going into this semester from
prior classes, I felt uneasy about statistical analysis and its applications. There were so many
elements I had questions about and a variety of factors I wished to understand but that were unclear.
Specifically, advanced statistical methods seemed to be shrouded in mystery – complex,
indecipherable, abstract, and inaccessible thought constructs. Indeed, completing the weekly
assignments and conducting the various statistical tests has aided in expanding my understanding of
some of the advanced statistical tests, making them less incomprehensible. Working on the
applications has also reemphasized the importance of wholly understanding the statistical analysis to
be performed, its underlying assumptions, and possible limitations of the analysis to arrive at a
plausible and cogent interpretation of the data. Furthermore, the brief exposure to statistical research
designs at the beginning of the course has caused me to think critically about the type of analysis I
will be conducting. Despite having been unable to settle on a specific design for my intended study,
the review has provided me with the tools to understand the advantages and limitations, benefits and
drawbacks of the various approaches. What's more, gaining a better understanding of the designs

There is a linear positive relationship between Income and Credit Balance variables. Where income
increases, credit balance also increases.
The relationship between the variables Years and Credit Balance is illustrated in the following
scatter plot:
There is no clear relationship between the two variables in the scatter plot. The points are in no
specific pattern, suggesting that there is no significant correlation between the variables years and
credit balance.
It can be concluded that some variables such as Income are strongly related to the credit balance of
AJ DAVIS department store customers. Several other variables appear to be unrelated.
PART B: Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals
1.a– The average (mean) annual income was less than $50,000 I found the average (mean) income
to be $43,740, with a standard deviation of $14,640. According to the hypothesis test (see appendix),
the calculated test statistic of –3.0236 does fall in the rejection region of z<–1.645 therefore I can
reject the null hypothesis and say there is sufficient evidence to indicate µ<50 or $50,000. The p–

Practical Application Scenario 1
In 2010, Playbill Magazine contracted Boos Allen to conduct a survey aimed at determining the
average annual household income of Playbill readers. 300 readers were randomly pulled and
sampled from the list of customers provided by Playbill Magazine. From that sampling effort, Boos
Allen was confident that the population average household income is $119,155 and that the
population sample household income standard deviation is $30,000.
Two Playbill executives recently hypothesized that the average annual household income of its
readership has increased and so believe that the magazine price should also increase. From a ...

The 2nd pairing of variables I combined together is Location and Years. I demonstrated the variables
in a dot plot to illustrate the number of years the customer has been living in that location. The most
years was more than 18 years and the location was in an urban area. The highest amount of dots was
10 years. The shape of the distribution is symmetric.
The last pairing of variables I combined together is Income and Size and it demonstrated in a scatter
plot. The household size of 7 or 8 has the highest income is with over $69,000 and more. The shape
of distribution is positive linear relationship.

Hypothesis Testing The Boiler Room Stats
Hypothesis Testing the Boiler Room Stats According to the manager four aspects require evaluation
from the statistics gathered for the week of calls made in the boiler room. The four aspects are the
basis for the hypothesis testing; the manager's suspicions are a) the null which are as follows:
1. Hypothesis Test One
a) Null Hypothesis Ho=u > Mean sales exceeds 41.5 sales per telemarketer
b) Alternative Ha=u< less than 55% receiving online training

For hypothesis test two the manager suspects less than 55% of the 100 telemarketers received online
training. Looking at the type of training data; two types of training were offered and none at all,
provides the three options. Therefore, if those receiving either group training or none at all total
more than 45 telemarketers of the 100 sales people then the alternative hypothesis is accepted
because there is sufficient evidence to support it. If the manager's suspicions are true: the null
hypothesis that states there are less than 55% of the sales force who received online training is true
then there must be sufficient evidence to support that statement. 20 of 100 callers have no training
and 30 telemarketers received group training while 50 sales people received online training
according to the Excel data sheet provided. Therefore, 50% either received no training or group
training and 50% received online training. The manager's suspicions are supported. There is
sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis and therefore the alternative is false. With
hypothesis test three the manager states the mean amount of calls made by those with no training is
less than 145 calls per person for the week of data recorded.
To prove the null; calls are less than 145 per person for those who are listed as no training or none,
the total amount of calls for the week made by the none group are divided by the 20 telemarketers to

HYPOTHESIS TESTING TOPIC 9
In the inferential method of hypothesis testing, you consider the evidence (sample statistic) to see
whether the evidence better supports the statement (null hypothesis) or the mutually exclusive
alternative. Hypothesis testing is based on sample information. Methodology enables you to make
inferences about a population parameter by analysing differences between the results observed
(sample stat) and the results you expect to get if some underlying hypothesis is actually true. The
hypothesis that assumes the status quo – that the old theory, method or standard is still true; the
complement of the alternative hypothesis.
NULL HYPOTHESIS: Always contains '=' , '≤' or '≥' sign, May or may not be rejected, Is always
about a population parameter, μ, not about a sample statistic ,Similar to the notion of innocent until
proven guilty
ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: The hypothesis that complements the null hypothesis. Usually it is
the hypothesis that the researcher is interested in proving. They are mutually exclusive and null is

The Effect Of Fdi Inflow On Exports
Data
This paper uses time series data on Bangladesh from the WDI databank to find the impact of FDI
inflow on exports. We've considered the time period from 1976. Bangladesh became independent in
1971. Just after birth, the nation adopted an import substitution trade policy. And consequently,
discouraged export oriented industrialization. And FDI was forbidden till 1976. In 1976, Bangladesh
took newer policies and thereby trade openness began. FDI also started to arrive. That's why, we've
excluded the years before 1976.
Dependent Variable: Export, measured in US dollar.
Independent Variable: Foreign Direct Investment, FDI inflow measured in US dollar.

Granger–casualty tests the hypothesis if one variable is useful in forecasting the change in another
variable. Here, the time series variable 'FDIBD' would Granger–cause time series 'X' (exports) if it
could be statistically established.
Results of the study suggests causality in both directions (i.e. 'XBD' depends on 'FDIBD' and
'FDIBD' depends on 'XBD'). It may be mentioned that the main objective of this analysis is related
to first one only. However, second causation also provides worthwhile information for further
studies. Results of the analysis are given in Table–1. The results reject the null hypothesis (of no
causality) and statistically prove causality between FDI and exports in both directions.
Cointegration Relationship Test
In spite of statistically significant Granger–causality between FDI and Exports, this test alone is not
that strong to fully establish dependence of one variable on other. It, in fact, only establishes that
explanatory variable leads the dependent variables– a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for an
explanatory variable. For unbiased estimation of regression parameters another necessary condition
is that the explanatory and dependent variables should have mutual cointegration. Granger–causality
and cointegration together are thought to be

Figure 1 shows the net inflow of FDI into the developing countries. There is a fall into the amount
of FDI going to the developing countries from late 1980 to early 1990 and in the late 2000. Overall,
there is an upward trend of amount of FDI going to the developing countries. The same trend with
ODA shown in Figure 2. The amount of Net ODA received by developing countries from 1990 to
mid–1990 is fluctuating then continued to fall until 2000. From year 2000 onwards, there is a steady
increase of ODA received by the low–income countries. Compared with FDI and Net ODA,
personal remittances has a steady upward trend (shown in Figure 3), noting a huge increase in 2008

Development Assistance Committee members agencies and by non–DAC countries to promote
economic development; and personal remittances is consists of personal transfers (all current
transfers between resident and non–resident individuals) and compensation of employees (income of
workers who are employed in foreign country).

Making Appropriate Staffing Decision At The Holman Library...
Making appropriate staffing decision is one of the most important tasks for a manager or of any
company. The decision a company makes about staffing their business can have dramatic effects on
the quality of their work, their retention rates and level of customer service. Because of this, we
would like to investigate whether a sufficient number of staff already exists at the Holman Library
of Green River College. It is important to note that we cannot just look at one factor in order to
conclude whether a company has sufficient staffing. In fact, the knowledge and skill of the staff, the
type of problem that the staff has to solve, and the peak hours of the library, are some other factors
that one may want to look at in order to see whether staffing has been efficient. However, since we
only have limited resources to conduct this research, we only looked at the peak hours of a day. Our
hypothesis for this research was that 25% of visitors to the library would first visit the information
desk. It is important for the librarians to know the peak hours of the library so that students can get
what they need without having to wait in line for too long. Method Participants In this research, all
Holman Library visitors will be the population and the sample size will be the number of visitors
within a specified time during the day. Materials A hand–held tally counter was used to count the

supplying data of a population which you haven't entirely quantified, and thus, cannot actually be
entirely sure the values/numbers you compute are right. Keep in mind, "inferential statistics" are

The manager of Snowpea Restaurant collected data on the new four delivery people to find the
possible cause of the complaints. Figure two shows the descriptive statistics for the preparation time,
in minutes, from when the orders are placed until they are ready to be delivered to the customers.
Based on the descriptive statistics of the sample data for the preparation time, the deliverers two and
four have a mean preparation time slightly higher than the total mean of the four people, which
could contribute to a longer delivery time of the orders. However, the mean of those two delivery
people are not significantly higher, so the preparation time could not be the cause of the delays in
delivery.
On the other hand, figure one shows descriptive statistics for the speed, measured in kilometers per
hour, for the four deliverers and also the total speed for the four people. Deliverers one and two,
with average speeds of 42.46 and 48.15 respectively, have a mean speed higher than the mean speed
of the total average of 38.79 of the four deliverers with two having the highest average speed.
However, with a mean speed of 33.51 and 28.14, deliverers three and four have significant lower

Data Analysis And Evaluation Of Findings
Data Analysis and Evaluation of Findings
Brian A. Biacan
TUI University Data Analysis and Evaluation of Findings Students at the Trident University
MAE504 course are taught to develop principles and techniques to conduct research in education.
Understanding the different research methods gives greater appreciation for the importance of
research. This paper will take a research question and go through the process of identifying the
aspects of research that will help meaningfully answer that question to generalize the results to
students and educators alike. Among the topics will include the research methodology, the variables,
the sample population, and the data collection and analysis.
Background.
The research question is, "Is there a significant difference in final grades of students who are team–
taught and students who are not team–taught in the MAE504 course at Trident University." There
are a number of articles that discuss the pros and cons of team–teaching (Kete, 2011, and Money &
Coughlan, 2016), but do not address the statistical data of better or worse grades in comparison to
courses taught by a single instructor. This question narrows the study down to specifically students
of the MAE504 course at Trident University. When conducting research on this question, despite the
specificity of the course, there still are multiple variables to consider to come to an accurate and
useful result.
Research Methodology. The question calls for a difference in

Best Preforming Drug Within The Groups
In the following exploratory data analysis, of the relevant variables, it is our hope to identify the best
preforming drug within the groups (groups A, group B, group C). The exploratory analysis provides
a view of how each group performed over the course of 12 weeks. In figure 1, below is the
descriptive table. The descriptive table provides a view of all variables associated with the
HDL/LDL drug study. The output with the descriptive table contains the overall Norman clashers of
the study, there is a section identified as group, statistics, and standard error. The section labeled
group; it identifies the group of participants in the study. In addition, statistics are provided in the
form of the mean scores for each group as well as the number of participants and error associated
with each group (some data isn't visible due to pivot table activation).
Figure 1
In the LDL group, the overall mean total score of 97.98 (SD = 17.165).
Control group (M = 101.10) Drug A (M = 86.20), drug B (121.40) drug C (M=83.20), and scores
82.25, 94.00, and 109.75 represented the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, respectively.
However, it is necessary to evaluate the associated graphs to aid in the development of
understanding of the data (Field, 2013). Perhaps, one graph that is of importance is the box graph, it
gives the researcher a better view of how the mean scores compare. Using the graphs and
descriptive information in tables gives the researcher enough information to formulate a

We should also remember to take into consideration social desirability bias: the tendency of
respondents to answer questions in a way they think will be viewed favorably by others, which may
influence the reliability of our findings.
i. Dependent variable
The dependent variable chosen is "Interest in Politics", a numeric ordinal variable. We had to invert
the scale so that larger values of Y imply higher interest in politics, in line with the other variable's
scale. It now ranges from 1 ("not at all interested) to 4 ("very interested"). With respect to the initial
data screening, we checked the presence of missing values in our dependent variable. As shown in
the table, the percentage of missing data is not significant in relation to our threshold of 5%
considered to be the general rule of thumb.
ii. Independent variable
While describing the independent variables chosen, we have to consider that some are latent nature,
meaning that the underlying concepts cannot be measured directly. In order to create a meaningful
value for said variables, we carried out a factor analysis with the aim of extracting two factors. In
our analysis we also included 3 dummy variables, one single variable and the usual control

Quantitative Research Paper On Multitasking
Introduction
Multitasking refers to the ability to handle more than one task simultaneously. A popular example of
multitasking is answering a call or text message while driving, which has been identified as a major
cause of road accidents. While some scholars argue that multitasking results in time saving, others
contend that multitasking causes an undivided attention, thereby resulting in a waste of time. It,
however, is worth noting that some tasks require less brain–power than others do; therefore, the
products of multitasking may vary according to the amount of brain–power the tasks require. For
example, chewing while walking, which most people are good at, is an example of multitasking.
Nevertheless, both activities require less brain–power. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
A quantitative methodology is utilized because it promotes representation, deduction, and data
analysis. According to the Information Resources Management Association (2011), quantitative
research seeks to capture the essence of reality, hence objective. Moreover, quantitative research is
representative, and facilitates the generalization of sample characteristics to the population.
Quantitative research seeks to generate answers to questions such as how much and how many. The
current study seeks to investigate how much efficient multitasking is, in the completion of jobs;
hence the suitability of quantitative research. A random sample of 60 students from whom the data
for this study is sourced, is used. The random sampling technique is preferred because it is
representative of the population, thereby facilitates generalization of findings. Moreover, the use of
this sampling technique promotes the internal and external validity of the study. The selected sample
is equally sufficient and representative of the population. The determination of the sample size is
based on the expected margin of error in gathering information and the confidence level upon which
the statistical tests are based. Each sample had an equal number of male and female

Week 1:
DQ1: What are the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics?
According to Bennett (2009), the biggest difference between descriptive and inferential statistics is
that descriptive statistics "deals with describing raw data in the form of graphics and sample of
statistics" and inferential statistics "deals with estimating population parameters from sample data."
This means that inferential statistics would be an estimate because the data would be estimated from
sample data rather than using specific data whereas descriptive statistics would be more accurate.
An example of descriptive statistics would be trying to find an average of something such as a
G.P.A. or your overall grade in a class. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
We come up with the number 7. 7 would be the mean in this case.
"The median is the middle value of the data set. To find a median we arrange the values in ascending
(or descending) order, repeating data values that appear more than once. If the number of values is
odd, there is exactly one value in the middle of the list, and this value is the median. If the number
of values is even, there are two values in the middle of the list, and the median is the number that
lies halfway between them. For an example the list 3, 4, 6, 6, 10. The median number is 6 because 6
is the middle number in the list." (Bennett, Briggs, &amp; Triola, 2009, p. 146).
"The mode is the most common value or group of values in a data set. For an example the mode in
the number set 3, 4, 6, 6, 10 is 6 because this value occurs twice in the data set."(Bennett, Briggs,
&amp; Triola, 2009, p. 146).
We would use mean, median and mode in healthcare to find the average of many things such as how
effective a new medication would be on the average population. Or how far into a new treatment
patients start seeing results or improvements. Bennett, J.O., Briggs, W.L., &amp; Triola, M.F.

The presence of cerebral palsy and severe handicap was nearly the same as other developing countries. The conclusions were appropriate considering the conditions of the country and the individuals in the study. The study provided statistical data on children who did not have pre–existing conditions or risk factors. The findings were opposite of infants with pre–existing conditions and high risk factors. The percentage of individuals returning for a follow–up also had an effect on the ultimate outcome of the study. The study conclusions deemed appropriate considering the factors. The study was statistically significant. Statistical Significance The study used statistical data that was significant to the accuracy of the results. Collecting data at different ages and conditions improved the accuracy of the information. The BSID and Chi squared test measures used to determine the norms of preterm infants were appropriate. The study provided data on mortality rates and handicaps of the children in the study. To determine the significance of the statistical data one must determine the relevance of the ...

We were to purchase 3 bags of M&M and record the color counts of each bag in an Excel spread sheet. For part two we calculated the sample proportions for each color, the mean number of candies per1.69oz bag, created a histogram for the number of candies per bag, use Excel to compute the descriptive statistics for the total number of candies per bag and summarize the information. In part three we located the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of blue, orange, green, yellow, red and brown. For part four we tested claims for percentages of each color. In the final part of the project we tested the hypothesis ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The results are as follows: Sample proportions: blue=.2366, orange= .2099, green= .1702, yellow= .1428, red= .1156, brown= .1249; the histogram is skewed left Mean= 55.5667; standard deviation= 2.0003; total # of candies=5001; # of bags= 90 The standard deviation indicates that the difference between the actual number of M&Ms per bag and the mean number of M&Ms per bag is 2.0003. Part 3: Method, Analysis, Results The objective of this part of the project is was to construct a 95% confidence interval for the proportions of blue, orange, green, yellow, red and brown m&ms.

The 7 Ecosystem Functions Between Two Habitats Types In order to analyze the data for the 7 ecosystem functions between two habitat types (forest vs. pasture, for example) to address the questions, I am going to use the following statistical analyses: 1. Nested ANOVA, which will tell us the if there is a significant difference of the ecosystem functions between two habitat types. 2. Correlation matrix, which will tell us if there is an association between the microbial respiration and biological nitrogen fixation with the expression and activity of 5 extracellular enzymes. 3. Analysis of beta–diversity patterns of ecosystem functions by principle coordinate analysis (PCoA). 1. Nested ANOVA: Since the question says that "You have collected data on 7 ecosystem functions", I am assuming I do not need to describe how I have got the data. As far as I understood I just need analyze the data by appropriate statistical method(s).

The Department of Finance and Actuarial Science have recently introduced a new way to help actuarial science students by hiring tutors. All tutors were selectively picked by the Dean of the department based on their overall performance. Any student that faces any problem regarding actuarial science subject can visit the tutor. The tutor room is available every Monday till Friday 8AM to 5PM. The tutor room is open to make sure that students get help for their actuarial science subject. 2However, is it reasonable that the tutor room is open from 8AM to 5PM? How many students will actually want to visit the tutor room at the opening hours? The answers to these questions would help the Department of Finance and Actuarial Science to reduce its hiring expenses by determining the number of tutor they should hire. By estimating the average number of students who will visit the tutor room during the opening hours, we can determine whether the Department of Finance and Actuarial Science can close down the tutor room during some specific hours so that they can reduce the hiring expenses. Firstly, we need to identify the distribution needed for this test. 3As the numbers of students who will visit the tutor room during the opening hours are subject to the timing students usually study and all this and would not affect one another, this random variable is independently and ...

  • 27. Advantages And Disadvantages Of Hypothesis Significance... Null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) Sir Ronald Fisher introduced NHST in 1925 and since then it has been a keystone foundation in the inferential statistical analysis of research data (Tryon 2001). Inferential statistics is a line of statistics that is widely used by researchers in social sciences to help obtain a value for the population under study (Argyrous 2011). The NHST is predominantly known as the experimenter's pillar for constructing inductive inferences from populations under study (Kreueger 2010). The null hypothesis is defined by Frick (1996) as a statistical calculation constructed in such a way that "there is no difference between two variables" and assuming that the null is always true, then a p–value is calculated which is predictably defined as the probability of obtaining a pattern of results that are statistically insignificant and to indicate if a relationship between two variables exists or not (Argyrous 2011). However, the calculation of NHST ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Despite the great deal of controversies about the null hypothesis yet it still dominates the field of social sciences and it is still being used in research that involves scientific psychology (Krueger 2010). Another prominent weakness of NHST is that it does not give any indication of the magnitude of the statistical relationships between the two variables under study. However, the NHST reduces the statistical inference to a process of a binary decision making and that is making a choice between two alternatives (Sim and Reid 1999). Furthermore, it seems useless and senseless to test a hypothesis that is almost certainly false any way and that might encourage an undesired, binary focus on data outcomes (Killeen ...

We can see from the set of data that we got outliers. To get rid of the outliers, we can calculate the interquartile mean by find the interquartile range first. This method can help to trim the outliers in the data. To run a randomization test to determine if there is a difference in the interquartile means between the two groups, I have to collect the observed data first. The observed data is the participants' data that we get from two different groups (condition A and condition B). After I did this, I have to decide on the test statistic or observed statistic that I would use to compare with the simulation of the null model. If I get test statistics that is very unlikely to happen under the null model, it means that the null model is possibly wrong. In this case, I used interquartile mean as the test statistic.

To avoid bias, a TI–84 calculator was used to select the timeframe of observations for each day from Monday to Friday. The first five numbers generated was the timeframes that we used for the observation. The randomly selected time(s) are summarized on Table 1.0 on the right. During the observation, an observer from the group stood in front of the information desk on the first floor of the Holman Library to count how many people came into the library using a tally counter, and how many people first went to the information desk for help by drawing tally on a sheet of paper at the same time.

Although I had some knowledge going into this semester from prior classes, I felt uneasy about statistical analysis and its applications. There were so many elements I had questions about and a variety of factors I wished to understand but that were unclear. Specifically, advanced statistical methods seemed to be shrouded in mystery – complex, indecipherable, abstract, and inaccessible thought constructs. Indeed, completing the weekly assignments and conducting the various statistical tests has aided in expanding my understanding of some of the advanced statistical tests, making them less incomprehensible. Working on the applications has also reemphasized the importance of wholly understanding the statistical analysis to be performed, its underlying assumptions, and possible limitations of the analysis to arrive at a plausible and cogent interpretation of the data. Furthermore, the brief exposure to statistical research designs at the beginning of the course has caused me to think critically about the type of analysis I will be conducting.

The relationship between the variables Years and Credit Balance is illustrated in the following scatter plot: There is no clear relationship between the two variables in the scatter plot. The points are in no specific pattern, suggesting that there is no significant correlation between the variables years and credit balance. It can be concluded that some variables such as Income are strongly related to the credit balance of AJ DAVIS department store customers. Several other variables appear to be unrelated. PART B: Hypothesis Testing and Confidence Intervals 1.a– The average (mean) annual income was less than $50,000 I found the average (mean) income to be $43,740, with a standard deviation of $14,640. According to the hypothesis test (see appendix), the calculated test statistic of –3.0236 does fall in the rejection region of z&lt;–1.645 therefore I can reject the null hypothesis and say there is sufficient evidence to indicate µ&lt;50 or $50,000. The p– value of 0.001 (see appendix for data), supports the rejection of the null hypothesis since the p value is less than α=0.05. Based on the confidence interval, we can be 95% certain that the average income lies between $39,680–$47,800. 1.b– The true population proportion of customers who live in an urban area exceeds 40% Of those surveyed, 22 out of 50

Data Analysis Assignment Essay Amanda Mueller MBA6018 – Data Analysis Unit 3 Activity 1 January 23, 2013 Practical Application Scenario 1 In 2010, Playbill Magazine contracted Boos Allen to conduct a survey aimed at determining the average annual household income of Playbill readers. 300 readers were randomly pulled and sampled from the list of customers provided by Playbill Magazine. From that sampling effort, Boos Allen was confident that the population average household income is $119,155 and that the population sample household income standard deviation is $30,000. Two Playbill executives recently hypothesized that the average annual household income of its readership has increased and so believe that the magazine price should also increase. From a ...

For hypothesis test two the manager suspects less than 55% of the 100 telemarketers received online training. Looking at the type of training data; two types of training were offered and none at all, provides the three options. Therefore, if those receiving either group training or none at all total more than 45 telemarketers of the 100 sales people then the alternative hypothesis is accepted because there is sufficient evidence to support it. If the manager's suspicions are true: the null hypothesis that states there are less than 55% of the sales force who received online training is true then there must be sufficient evidence to support that statement. 20 of 100 callers have no training and 30 telemarketers received group training while 50 sales people received online training according to the Excel data sheet provided. Therefore, 50% either received no training or group training and 50% received online training. The manager's suspicions are supported. There is sufficient evidence to support the null hypothesis and therefore the alternative is false. With hypothesis test three the manager states the mean amount of calls made by those with no training is less than 145 calls per person for the week of data recorded. To prove the null; calls are less than 145 per person for those who are listed as no training or none, the total amount of calls for the week made by the none group are divided by the 20 telemarketers to compute the mean ...

Hypothesis testing is based on sample information. Methodology enables you to make inferences about a population parameter by analysing differences between the results observed (sample stat) and the results you expect to get if some underlying hypothesis is actually true. The hypothesis that assumes the status quo – that the old theory, method or standard is still true; the complement of the alternative hypothesis. NULL HYPOTHESIS: Always contains '=' , '≤' or '≥' sign, May or may not be rejected, Is always about a population parameter, μ, not about a sample statistic ,Similar to the notion of innocent until proven guilty ALTERNATE HYPOTHESIS: The hypothesis that complements the null hypothesis.

We've considered the time period from 1976. Bangladesh became independent in 1971. Just after birth, the nation adopted an import substitution trade policy. And consequently, discouraged export oriented industrialization. And FDI was forbidden till 1976. In 1976, Bangladesh took newer policies and thereby trade openness began. FDI also started to arrive. That's why, we've excluded the years before 1976. Dependent Variable: Export, measured in US dollar. Independent Variable: Foreign Direct Investment, FDI inflow measured in US dollar. Methodology Before explaining the methodology of data analysis it is important to ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Granger–casualty tests the hypothesis if one variable is useful in forecasting the change in another variable. Here, the time series variable 'FDIBD' would Granger–cause time series 'X' (exports) if it could be statistically established. Results of the study suggests causality in both directions (i.e. 'XBD' depends on 'FDIBD' and 'FDIBD' depends on 'XBD'). It may be mentioned that the main objective of this analysis is related to first one only. However, second causation also provides worthwhile information for further studies. Results of the analysis are given in Table–1. The results reject the null hypothesis (of no causality) and statistically prove causality between FDI and exports in both directions. Cointegration Relationship Test In spite of statistically significant Granger–causality between FDI and Exports, this test alone is not that strong to fully establish dependence of one variable on other. It, in fact, only establishes that explanatory variable leads the dependent variables– a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for an explanatory variable. For unbiased estimation of regression parameters another necessary condition is that the explanatory and dependent variables should have mutual cointegration.

Overall, there is an upward trend of amount of FDI going to the developing countries. The same trend with ODA shown in Figure 2. The amount of Net ODA received by developing countries from 1990 to mid–1990 is fluctuating then continued to fall until 2000. From year 2000 onwards, there is a steady increase of ODA received by the low–income countries. Compared with FDI and Net ODA, personal remittances has a steady upward trend (shown in Figure 3), noting a huge increase in 2008 of US$4.5 billion from US$15.2 billion in 2007. With the ...

Data is defined as the collected details from which numerical information is derived. The collected data is processed and organized into vital statistical information which can be in the form of facts or figures. This data is then interpreted or analyzed through statistical methods for the purposes of gaining knowledge about a phenomenon, which can help us to make informed decisions. b). Information is data that has been recorded, classified, and structured within a statistical framework with an aim of making it useful for decision–making purposes. This information is processed from the collected raw data to come up with meaningful conclusions. c). Population refers to a set of unit with common characteristics from which statistical sample is drawn for purposes of obtaining the needed data. The information collected from a sample population can be used by statisticians to develop generalized observations which can be applied to the whole population. 2 a). The difference between continuous and discrete data is that variables in discrete data are given in whole number values which are countable. Such figures are distinct and aren't either in decimal or fractional formats, i.e. positions or rankings. On the other hand, continuous data includes variables whose number values are either in decimal or fractional format which are measurable on a scale. This implies that ...

The decision a company makes about staffing their business can have dramatic effects on the quality of their work, their retention rates and level of customer service. Because of this, we would like to investigate whether a sufficient number of staff already exists at the Holman Library of Green River College. It is important to note that we cannot just look at one factor in order to conclude whether a company has sufficient staffing. In fact, the knowledge and skill of the staff, the type of problem that the staff has to solve, and the peak hours of the library, are some other factors that one may want to look at in order to see whether staffing has been efficient. However, since we only have limited resources to conduct this research, we only looked at the peak hours of a day. Our hypothesis for this research was that 25% of visitors to the library would first visit the information desk. It is important for the librarians to know the peak hours of the library so that students can get what they need without having to wait in line for too long. Method Participants In this research, all Holman Library visitors will be the population and the sample size will be the number of visitors within a specified time during the day.

The research can use strategies including surveys, observation, area experiments, interviews and quantity analysis. As it is indeed diverse in technique and utilization, some researchers favor its use in numerous disciplines including advertising, medical–health, and psychology. On the possible negative aspect, "Descriptive research" can at times be used to match the requirements of the researcher. Example: when preparing a survey, one may load the survey questions to direct the reader to respond in a specific manner. Or in another instance, a comparison between two merchandise or product, it is possible to give one commodity an unfair edge to get the wanted outcome. There are two principal limits to the usage of "Inferential Statistics". The primary and most critical limitation, which will be present in all "inferential statistics", is that if you are supplying data of a population which you haven't entirely quantified, and thus, cannot actually be entirely sure the values/numbers you compute are right. Keep in mind, "inferential statistics" are based in the notion of utilizing the values measured in an example to estimate/infer the values that might be quantified in a population; there will be a level of doubt in this way.

Recently it hired four new employees for delivery staff. However, after hiring the new delivery people, Snowpea starts getting complaints from customers about the excessively long delivery times. Descriptive Statistics The manager of Snowpea Restaurant collected data on the new four delivery people to find the possible cause of the complaints. Figure two shows the descriptive statistics for the preparation time, in minutes, from when the orders are placed until they are ready to be delivered to the customers. Based on the descriptive statistics of the sample data for the preparation time, the deliverers two and four have a mean preparation time slightly higher than the total mean of the four people, which could contribute to a longer delivery time of the orders. However, the mean of those two delivery people are not significantly higher, so the preparation time could not be the cause of the delays in delivery. On the other hand, figure one shows descriptive statistics for the speed, measured in kilometers per hour, for the four deliverers and also the total speed for the four people. Deliverers one and two, with average speeds of 42.46 and 48.15 respectively, have a mean speed higher than the mean speed of the total average of 38.79 of the four deliverers with two having the highest average speed. However, with a mean speed of 33.51 and 28.14, deliverers three and four have significant lower ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Biacan TUI University Data Analysis and Evaluation of Findings Students at the Trident University MAE504 course are taught to develop principles and techniques to conduct research in education. Understanding the different research methods gives greater appreciation for the importance of research. This paper will take a research question and go through the process of identifying the aspects of research that will help meaningfully answer that question to generalize the results to students and educators alike. Among the topics will include the research methodology, the variables, the sample population, and the data collection and analysis. Background. The research question is, "Is there a significant difference in final grades of students who are team– taught and students who are not team–taught in the MAE504 course at Trident University." There are a number of articles that discuss the pros and cons of team–teaching (Kete, 2011, and Money & Coughlan, 2016), but do not address the statistical data of better or worse grades in comparison to courses taught by a single instructor. This question narrows the study down to specifically students of the MAE504 course at Trident University. When conducting research on this question, despite the specificity of the course, there still are multiple variables to consider to come to an accurate and useful result. Research Methodology. The question calls for a difference in ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Best Preforming Drug Within The Groups In the following exploratory data analysis, of the relevant variables, it is our hope to identify the best preforming drug within the groups (groups A, group B, group C). The exploratory analysis provides a view of how each group performed over the course of 12 weeks. In figure 1, below is the descriptive table. The descriptive table provides a view of all variables associated with the HDL/LDL drug study. The output with the descriptive table contains the overall Norman clashers of the study, there is a section identified as group, statistics, and standard error. The section labeled group; it identifies the group of participants in the study. In addition, statistics are provided in the form of the mean scores for each group as well as the number of participants and error associated with each group (some data isn't visible due to pivot table activation). Figure 1 In the LDL group, the overall mean total score of 97.98 (SD = 17.165). Control group (M = 101.10) Drug A (M = 86.20), drug B (121.40) drug C (M=83.20), and scores 82.25, 94.00, and 109.75 represented the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles, respectively. However, it is necessary to evaluate the associated graphs to aid in the development of understanding of the data (Field, 2013). Perhaps, one graph that is of importance is the box graph, it gives the researcher a better view of how the mean scores compare. Using the graphs and descriptive information in tables gives the researcher enough information to formulate a ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 150. The dependent variable chosen is "Interest in Politics", a numeric ordinal variable. We had to invert the scale so that larger values of Y imply higher interest in politics, in line with the other variable's scale. It now ranges from 1 ("not at all interested) to 4 ("very interested"). With respect to the initial data screening, we checked the presence of missing values in our dependent variable. As shown in the table, the percentage of missing data is not significant in relation to our threshold of 5% considered to be the general rule of thumb. ii. Independent variable While describing the independent variables chosen, we have to consider that some are latent nature, meaning that the underlying concepts cannot be measured directly. In order to create a meaningful value for said variables, we carried out a factor analysis with the aim of extracting two factors. In our analysis we also included 3 dummy variables, one single variable and the usual control variables. A brief ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

A popular example of multitasking is answering a call or text message while driving, which has been identified as a major cause of road accidents. While some scholars argue that multitasking results in time saving, others contend that multitasking causes an undivided attention, thereby resulting in a waste of time. It, however, is worth noting that some tasks require less brain–power than others do; therefore, the products of multitasking may vary according to the amount of brain–power the tasks require. For example, chewing while walking, which most people are good at, is an example of multitasking. Nevertheless, both activities require less brain–power. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... A quantitative methodology is utilized because it promotes representation, deduction, and data analysis. According to the Information Resources Management Association (2011), quantitative research seeks to capture the essence of reality, hence objective. Moreover, quantitative research is representative, and facilitates the generalization of sample characteristics to the population. Quantitative research seeks to generate answers to questions such as how much and how many. The current study seeks to investigate how much efficient multitasking is, in the completion of jobs; hence the suitability of quantitative research. A random sample of 60 students from whom the data for this study is sourced, is used. The random sampling technique is preferred because it is representative of the population, thereby facilitates generalization of findings. Moreover, the use of this sampling technique promotes the internal and external validity of the study. The selected sample is equally sufficient and representative of the population. The determination of the sample size is based on the expected margin of error in gathering information and the confidence level upon which the statistical tests are based.

According to Bennett (2009), the biggest difference between descriptive and inferential statistics is that descriptive statistics "deals with describing raw data in the form of graphics and sample of statistics" and inferential statistics "deals with estimating population parameters from sample data." This means that inferential statistics would be an estimate because the data would be estimated from sample data rather than using specific data whereas descriptive statistics would be more accurate. An example of descriptive statistics would be trying to find an average of something such as a G.P.A. or your overall grade in a class. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... We come up with the number 7. 7 would be the mean in this case. "The median is the middle value of the data set. To find a median we arrange the values in ascending (or descending) order, repeating data values that appear more than once. If the number of values is odd, there is exactly one value in the middle of the list, and this value is the median. If the number of values is even, there are two values in the middle of the list, and the median is the number that lies halfway between them. For an example the list 3, 4, 6, 6, 10. The median number is 6 because 6 is the middle number in the list." (Bennett, Briggs, &amp; Triola, 2009, p. 146). "The mode is the most common value or group of values in a data set. For an example the mode in the number set 3, 4, 6, 6, 10 is 6 because this value occurs twice in the data set."(Bennett, Briggs, &amp; Triola, 2009, p. 146). We would use mean, median and mode in healthcare to find the average of many things such as how effective a new medication would be on the average population.
