EXERCISE 11 USING STATISTICS TO DESCRIBE A STUDY SAMPLE
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
Most studies describe the subjects that comprise the study sample. This description of the sample is called the sample characteristics which may be presented in a table or the narrative of the article. The sample characteristics are often presented for each of the groups in a study (i.e. experimental and control groups). Descriptive statistics are used to generate sample characteristics, and the type of statistic used depends on the level of measurement of the demographic variables included in a study (Burns & Grove, 2007). For example, measuring gender produces nominal level data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, and mode. Measuring educational level usually produces ordinal data that can be described using frequencies, percentages, mode, median, and range. Obtaining each subject's specific age is an example of ratio data that can be described using mean, range, and standard deviation. Interval and ratio data are analyzed with the same type of statistics and are usually referred to as interval/ratio level data in this text.

Introduction
Troy and Dalgas-Pelish (2003) conducted a quasi-experimental study to determine the effectiveness of a self-care intervention (Tiredness Management Guide [TMG]) on postpartum fatigue. The study subjects included 68 primiparous mothers, who were randomly assigned to either the experimental group (32 subjects) or the control group (36 subjects) using a computer program. The results of the study indicated that the TMG was effective in reducing levels of morning postpartum fatigue from the 2nd to 4th weeks postpartum. These researchers recommend that “mothers need to be informed that they will probably experience postpartum fatigue and be taught to assess and manage this phenomenon” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, pp. 44-5).
Relevant Study Results
“A total of 80 women were initially enrolled [in the study] … twelve of these women dropped out of the study resulting in a final sample of 68.” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, p. 39). The researchers presen.

Case Study 2The approach should include a combination of nutriti.docxwendolynhalbert
Case Study 2
The approach should include a combination of nutritional therapy as well as medication and other treatments. The home-based care program consisted of weekly home visits by a physician and a nurse. During visit, they have to assess the condition of patient, review of medications and made any necessary changes. Along with that, the needed laboratory tests were examined and the intravenous diuretics were administered. The patient compliance with the dosage regimen should also be determined on the basis of pill count which is followed by assessment of patient’s physical status. Since, the patients had poor knowledge about the regimen or poor compliance he must need the additional intervention. Moreover, the information derived from the home visit must be provided to the patient’s primary physicians. During initial visit, the nurse must educate and counsel the patients on the management and on behavioral techniques to enhance the compliance. It must be followed by telephone calls every week for 6 weeks with continued counseling so that he must be adhered to the diet and drug regimen plan as well as the self-monitoring of symptoms (Grady, et al., 2000).
The treatment plan should include the airway management as it is the critical first step. It is required since the elderly with heart failure can promptly fatigue and may require the emergent intubation. The diuretics such as Furosemide should be used to decrease the venous congestion however, the use must be regulated as in the elderly, there is age-related decline in the renal function as well as the decreased circulating volume (Emergency Physicians Monthly). For pulmonary edema, the morphine and IV nitrates should be used. Moreover, the symptoms caused by fluid retention may be treated with diuretic followed by the weight monitoring. Additional treatments include the use of ACE inhibitor according to the tolerability, β-blockers, digoxin or spironolactone. The angiotensin antagonists are also used in patients in whom ACE inhibition is contraindicated (Gillespie, 2005).
The education and counseling of heart failure patient are the essential part of patient care. It may reduce the re-admission of these patients along with cost of care. The education can be provided through mailing the personalized educational materials in which main emphasis was done on self-care and the recommended health behaviors were promoted (Serxner, Miyaji, & Jeffords, 1998). The wife can be educated about the risk of contracting the disease. Along with that, the history of the wife should also be assessed to determine her risk of contracting the disease due to hypertension. Moreover, the overviews of associated symptoms, activity and exercise, dietary recommendations, and medications are taught to patient and his wife. The written materials and videotapes can also be used as the additional resource for patient education (Quaglietti, Atwood, Ackerman, & Froelicher, 2000).

Case Study 2The approach should include a combination of nutriti.docxwendolynhalbert
Case Study 2
The approach should include a combination of nutritional therapy as well as medication and other treatments. The home-based care program consisted of weekly home visits by a physician and a nurse. During visit, they have to assess the condition of patient, review of medications and made any necessary changes. Along with that, the needed laboratory tests were examined and the intravenous diuretics were administered. The patient compliance with the dosage regimen should also be determined on the basis of pill count which is followed by assessment of patient’s physical status. Since, the patients had poor knowledge about the regimen or poor compliance he must need the additional intervention. Moreover, the information derived from the home visit must be provided to the patient’s primary physicians. During initial visit, the nurse must educate and counsel the patients on the management and on behavioral techniques to enhance the compliance. It must be followed by telephone calls every week for 6 weeks with continued counseling so that he must be adhered to the diet and drug regimen plan as well as the self-monitoring of symptoms (Grady, et al., 2000).
The treatment plan should include the airway management as it is the critical first step. It is required since the elderly with heart failure can promptly fatigue and may require the emergent intubation. The diuretics such as Furosemide should be used to decrease the venous congestion however, the use must be regulated as in the elderly, there is age-related decline in the renal function as well as the decreased circulating volume (Emergency Physicians Monthly). For pulmonary edema, the morphine and IV nitrates should be used. Moreover, the symptoms caused by fluid retention may be treated with diuretic followed by the weight monitoring. Additional treatments include the use of ACE inhibitor according to the tolerability, β-blockers, digoxin or spironolactone. The angiotensin antagonists are also used in patients in whom ACE inhibition is contraindicated (Gillespie, 2005).
The education and counseling of heart failure patient are the essential part of patient care. It may reduce the re-admission of these patients along with cost of care. The education can be provided through mailing the personalized educational materials in which main emphasis was done on self-care and the recommended health behaviors were promoted (Serxner, Miyaji, & Jeffords, 1998). The wife can be educated about the risk of contracting the disease. Along with that, the history of the wife should also be assessed to determine her risk of contracting the disease due to hypertension. Moreover, the overviews of associated symptoms, activity and exercise, dietary recommendations, and medications are taught to patient and his wife. The written materials and videotapes can also be used as the additional resource for patient education (Quaglietti, Atwood, Ackerman, & Froelicher, 2000).
The teaching plan may involve the foll ...

PROBLEM 14-7AProblem 14-7AQuestion 1a) Debt to equity ratiosPulaski CompanyScott Company Total liabilities$360,000.00$240,000.00Total Equity$500,000.00$200,000.00Debt-Equity Ratio0.721.2Question 2The debt to equity ratio measures the amount of debt a company uses has to finance its business for every dollar of equity it has. A higher debt to equity ratio implies that a company uses more debt than equity for financing. In this case, the debt to equity ratio for Pulaski Company is 0.72 which is less than 1 implying that the stockholder's equity exceeds the amount of debt borrowed. Thus Pulaski Company may not likely suffer from risks brought about by huge amount of debts in the capital structure. On the other hand, the debt to equity ratio of Scott Company is 1.2 which is greater than 1 implying that the debt exceeds the totalamount stockholders equity. Huge debts is associated with a lot of risks. First, there is the risk of defaulting whereby the company may be unable to repay its debt and therefore leading to bankruptcy. Second, a company may find it difficult to obtain additional funding from creditors.This is because the creditors prefer companies with low debt to equity ratio. Finally, there is the risks of violating the debt covenants. A covenant is an agreement that requires a company to maintain adequate financial ratio levels. Too much borrowings may violate this covenant. Since ScottCompany has a higher debt to equity ratio, it may experience these risks which may eventually lead to the company being declared bankrupt .

Problem 1 (30 marks)
Review enough information about Trinidad Drilling Ltd. to propose a vision and strategic objectives for the company. Develop a balanced scorecard that will help the company achieve this vision and monitor how well it is accomplishing its strategic objectives. Include a strategy map in table format that shows objectives and performance measures, with arrows illustrating hypothesized cause-and -effect relationships. Provide rationale for your strategy map. The body of your report should not exceed 1,000 words. Cite material you used to prepare the response and provide references in an appendix.
Problem 2 (20 marks)
Ajax Auto Upholstery Ltd. manufactures upholstered products for automobiles, vans, and trucks. Among the various Ajax plants around Canada is the Owlseye plant located in rural Alberta.
The chief financial officer has just received a report indicating that Ajax could purchase the entire annual output of the Owlseye plant from a foreign supplier for $37 million per year.
The budgeted operating costs (in thousands) for the Owlseye plant’s for the coming year is as follows:
Materials $15,000
Labor
Direct $12,000
Supervision 4,000
Indirect plant 5,000 19,000
Overhead
Depreciation – plant 6,000
Utilities, property tax, maintenance 2,000
Pension expense 4,500
Plant manager and staff 2,500
Corporate headquarters overhead allocation 3,000 18,000
Total budgeted costs $52,000
If material purchase orders are cancelled as a consequence of the plant closing, termination charges would amount to 10 percent of the annual cost of direct materials in the first year (zero thereafter).
A clause in the Ajax union contract requires the company to provide employment assistance to its former employees for 12 months after a plant closes. The estimated cost to administer this service if the Owlseye plant closes would be $2 million. $3.6 million of next year’s pension expense would continue indefinitely whether or not the plant remains open. About $900,000 of labour would still be required in the first year after closure to decommission the plant. After that, the plant would be sold for an estimated $1 million. Utilities, property taxes, and maintenance costs would remain unchanged in the first year after closure, but disappear when the plant is sold.
The plant manager and her staff would be somewhat affected by the closing of the Owlseye plant. Some managers would still be responsible for managing three other plants. As a result, total management salaries would be about 50% of the current level, starting at closure and remaining into the future.
Required:
Assume you are the company’s chief financial officer. Perform a five-year financial analysis and make a recommendation whether to close the Owlseye plant on this basis. Provide support for and cautions about your recommendation with organized, clearly-labeled data. Use bullet points where appropriate.

Problem 1 (10 points): Note that an eigenvector cannot be zero, but an eigenvalue can
be 0. Suppose that 0 is an eigenvalue of A. What does it say about A? (Hint: One of the
most important properties of a matrix is whether or not it is invertible. Think about the
Invertible Matrix Theorem and all the ‘good things’ of dealing with invertible matrices)

Proof:
Problem 7 (20 points)*: In the 1990, the northern spotted owl became the center of a
nationwide controversy over the use and misuse of the majestic forests in the Pacific
Northwest. Environmentalists convinced the federal government that the owl was
threatened with extinction if logging continued in the old-growth forests (with trees over
200 years old), where the owls prefer to live. The timber industry, anticipating the loss of
30,000 to 100,000 jobs as a result of new government restrictions on logging, argued that
the owl should not be classified as a “threatened species” and cited a number of published
scientific reports to support its case.
Caught in the crossfire of the two lobbying groups, mathematical ecologists
intensified their drive to understand the population dynamics of the spotted owl. The life
cycle of a spotted owl divides naturally into three stages: juvenile (up to 1 year old),
subadult (1 to 2 years), and adult (over 2 years). The owls mate for life during the subadult
and adult stages, begin to breed as adults, and live for up to 20 years. Each owl pair
requires about 1,000 hectares (4 square miles) for its own home territory. A critical time in
the life cycle is when the juveniles leave the nest. To survive and become a subadult, a
juvenile must successfully find a new home range (and usually a mate).
A first step in studying the population dynamics is to model the population at yearly
intervals, at times denoted by 𝑘𝑘 = 0,1,2, …. Usually, one assumes that there is a 1:1 ratio of
males to females in each life stage and counts only the females. The population at year 𝑘𝑘
can be described by a vector 𝒙𝒙𝒌𝒌 = (𝑗𝑗𝑘𝑘 , 𝑠𝑠𝑘𝑘 , 𝑎𝑎𝑘𝑘 ), where 𝑗𝑗𝑘𝑘 , 𝑠𝑠𝑘𝑘 , and 𝑎𝑎𝑘𝑘 are the numbers of
females in the juvenile, subadult, and adult stages, respectively. Using actual field data from
demographic studies, a rese

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

EXERCISE 11 USING STATISTICS TO DESCRIBE A STUDY
SAMPLE
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
Most studies describe the subjects that comprise the study
sample. This description of the sample is called the sample
characteristics which may be presented in a table or the
narrative of the article. The sample characteristics are often
presented for each of the groups in a study (i.e. experimental
and control groups). Descriptive statistics are used to generate
sample characteristics, and the type of statistic used depends on
the level of measurement of the demographic variables included
in a study (Burns & Grove, 2007). For example, measuring
gender produces nominal level data that can be described using
frequencies, percentages, and mode. Measuring educational
level usually produces ordinal data that can be described using
2. frequencies, percentages, mode, median, and range. Obtaining
each subject's specific age is an example of ratio data that can
be described using mean, range, and standard deviation. Interval
and ratio data are analyzed with the same type of statistics and
are usually referred to as interval/ratio level data in this text.
RESEARCH ARTICLE
Source: Troy, N. W., & Dalgas-Pelish, P. (2003). The
effectiveness of a self-care intervention for the management of
postpartum fatigue. Applied Nursing Research, 16 (1), 38–45.
Introduction
Troy and Dalgas-Pelish (2003) conducted a quasi-experimental
study to determine the effectiveness of a self-care intervention
(Tiredness Management Guide [TMG]) on postpartum fatigue.
The study subjects included 68 primiparous mothers, who were
randomly assigned to either the experimental group (32
subjects) or the control group (36 subjects) using a computer
program. The results of the study indicated that the TMG was
effective in reducing levels of morning postpartum fatigue from
the 2nd to 4th weeks postpartum. These researchers recommend
that “mothers need to be informed that they will probably
experience postpartum fatigue and be taught to assess and
manage this phenomenon” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, pp. 44-
5).
Relevant Study Results
“A total of 80 women were initially enrolled [in the study] …
twelve of these women dropped out of the study resulting in a
final sample of 68.” (Troy & Dalgas-Pelish, 2003, p. 39). The
researchers presented the characteristics of their sample in a
table format for the experimental and control groups (see Table
1). The researchers found no significant differences between the
control and experimental groups for any of the demographic or
attribute variables.
TABLE 1 Sample Characteristics by Group
STUDY QUESTIONS
· 1. What demographic variables were included in this study?
3. · 2. Which of the demographic variables provided ordinal level
data? Provide a rationale for your answer.
· 3. What level of measurement is the data for race?
· 4. What statistics were used to describe race in this study?
Were these appropriate?
· 5. Could a mean be calculated on the race data? Provide a
rationale for your answer.
· 6. Describe the race of both the experimental and control
groups. What does this tell you about the population of this
study?
· 7. What statistics were used to describe age in this study?
Were these appropriate? Provide a rationale for your answer.
· 8. Were the groups similar in age? Provide a rationale for your
answer.
· 9. What was the mode for the type of feeding provided by the
experimental and the control groups? Is this mode what you
would have expected?
· 10. Did the experimental group earn similar income to the
control group? Provide a rationale for your answer.
ANSWERS TO STUDY QUESTIONS
· 1. Demographic variables described in the study were: age,
income, length of labor, return to work, number of hours
working per week, race, marital status, education, type of
feeding, and amount of household and infant care
responsibilities.
· 2. The variables education and amount of household and infant
care responsibilities are both measured at the ordinal level since
the data for each is sorted into categories that can be rank
ordered. With education, high school is the lowest level of
education, some college is the next level of education, and
college graduate or higher is the highest level of education.
Care responsibilities include ordinal data that are ranked from a
low of “None” to a high of “All.”
· 3. The data collected for race is nominal level since race was
measured using mutually exclusive categories of White, Black,
Interracial, and Middle Eastern that cannot be rank ordered.
4. · 4. Frequencies and percentages were used to describe race for
the experimental and control groups. Since the data are nominal,
frequencies and percentages were appropriate. The researchers
might have also identified the mode, which was White.
· 5. No, a mean cannot be calculated on the race data. A mean
can only be calculated on interval and ratio level data that have
numerically equal distances between intervals and not on
nominal level data that can only be organized into categories.
(See Exercises 1, 2, and 3, which are focused on identifying the
level of measurements.)
· 6. Both the experimental and control groups are predominantly
White, 92% and 96.55%, respectively. Thus, the sample is
predominately White, and the results are reflective of a White
or Caucasian population and not Black, Interracial, or Middle
Eastern populations.
· 7. Age was described for both the experimental and control
groups using means and standard deviations. The exact age of
the subjects was obtained, providing ratio level data that are
descriptively analyzed with means and standard deviations. The
researchers might have also provided the range for age for both
experimental and control groups.
· 8. The groups were very similar in age since the mean age for
the experimental group was 26.72 and the mean age for the
control group was 26.89. The distribution of the ages for the
experimental and control groups were also very similar, with
standard deviation of 5.05 for the experimental group and 5.25
for the control group.
· 9. Bottle-feeding was the mode for the experimental (53.1%)
and the control (50%) groups since it was the most frequent
type of feeding used by both groups. Either a “no” or “yes”
answer is correct here as long as you provide a rationale. No,
one might expect the mode to be breastfeeding since these were
first-time mothers (primiparous) and breastfeeding has such
positive outcomes for both infant and mother. Yes, one might
expect bottle-feeding to be the mode since many of these
mothers planned on returning to work.
5. · 10. No, the incomes were not similar for the two groups, but
nor was the income significantly different for the groups. The
means (M) and standard deviations (SD) for income indicate
that the experimental (M = $35,675; SD = $23,969) and control
groups (M = $41,450; SD = $17,527) were different. The
control group subjects had an M, or mean, that was $5,775
higher than the experimental group, and the SD was much
higher ($6,442) for the experimental group, indicating a larger
range of incomes for that group. However, the narrative from
the study indicated that the groups were not significantly
different for any of the demographic variables.

EXERCISE 16 MEAN AND STANDARD DEVIATION
STATISTICAL TECHNIQUE IN REVIEW
The mean () is a measure of central tendency for a set of data
and is the arithmetic average calculated for the data. (Please
refer to Exercise 15 for further information about the mean).
The standard deviation (SD) is a measure of dispersion and is
the average amount of points by which the scores of a
distribution vary from the mean. When the scores of a
distribution deviate from the mean considerably, the SD or
spread of scores is large. When the degree of deviation of
scores from the mean is small, the SD or spread of the scores is
small. Both the and SD are descriptive statistics calculated to
describe study variables (Burns & Grove, 2007).

Source: Tsay, S. L., & Hung, L. O. (2004). Empowerment of
patients with end-stage renal disease: A randomized controlled
trial. International Journal of Nursing Studies, 41 (1), 59–65.
Introduction
Tsay and Hung (2004) conducted a randomized controlled trial
examining the effectiveness of an empowerment program on
empowerment level, self-care self-efficacy, and depression in
patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The researchers
used the Empowerment Scale, the Strategies Used by People to
Promote Health Tool, and the Beck Depression Inventory to
collect data from the patients on their level of empowerment,
self-care self-efficacy, and depression, respectively. The scales
7. were administered to both the control (n = 25) and the
experimental (n = 25) groups at baseline and 6 weeks after the
program was completed. The control group, experimental group,
and total sample's empowerment, self-care self-efficacy, and
depression baseline and posttest means and standard deviations
are presented in Table 2 on p. 118.
Relevant Study Results
“The sample consisted of 50 hemodialysis patients. … Mean
perceived renal disease severity was moderately severe (mean =
6.74, SD = 2.97, range = 0–10), and the mean length of dialysis
was 52.56 months (SD = 36.51). There were no differences in
clinical and demographic characteristics of the patients between
the groups (p <0.05). The data indicates homogeneity of
subjects across the groups” (Tsay & Hung, 2004, p. 61). “This
study found that there were significant differences in
improvement of empowerment, self-care self-efficacy, and
depression in patients who were in the intervention group using
empowerment strategies than with the control group patients.
117118 …The results from this study suggest that empowerment
techniques might have an important role for patients in self-
management of ESRD. … The study provides a foundation for
future studies of empowerment interventions for self-managing
of ESRD patients” (Tsay & Hung, 2004, pp. 63–4).

STUDY QUESTIONS
· 1. The research hypothesis for the Tsay and Hung (2004) study
can be formulated as follows: “Patients with ESRD who obtain
the empowerment program have higher levels of empowerment
and self-care self-efficacy and are less depressed than those
who do not receive the program.” State the null hypothesis for
this study.
· 2. What was the average baseline depression score of the
experimental group subjects?
· 3. Compare the baseline and the posttest means of the self-
care self-efficacy variable for the experimental group. Was this
an expected finding? Provide a rationale for your answer.
118119
· 4. Which group showed more variability or greater dispersion
in their depression posttest scores? Provide a rationale for your
answer.
· 5. What was the arithmetic average of all empowerment
posttest scores collected in this study?
· 6. What variable was affected the most by the empowerment
program? Is this an expected result? Provide a rationale for your
10. answer.
· 7. On average, how long had the ESRD patients been on
dialysis? Was there a significant difference between the control
and the experimental groups in the length of time they had been
on dialysis?
· 8. The self-care self-efficacy posttest's = 96.00 means that:
· a. the total sample for the study was 96 subjects.
· b. 96 was the average self-care self-efficacy posttest score for
the experimental group.
· c. 96 was the lowest score the participants could get in order
to be accepted into the experimental group.
· d. the difference between the experimental and control groups
was 96 for self-efficacy.
· 9. The control group's baseline empowerment SD = 8.99. What
does this statement mean?
ANSWERS TO STUDY QUESTIONS
· 1. The null hypothesis is: “There is no difference in the levels
of empowerment, self-care self-efficacy, and depression of
patients with ESRD who attend an empowerment program
versus those who do not.”
· 2. The average or mean baseline depression score of the
experimental group was 14.00.
· 3. The experimental group's mean self-care self-efficacy
posttest score (mean = 96.00) was 6.44 points higher than its
baseline mean score (mean = 89.56) because on average the
experimental group subjects scored higher on the posttest than
at baseline or the beginning of the study. This was an expected
finding because it was hypothesized that after the completion of
the empowerment program, the experimental group's self-care
self-efficacy skills would improve. This finding indicates that
the empowerment intervention had a positive impact on the self-
care self-efficacy of ESRD patients.
· 4. The experimental group's posttest scores were slightly more
dispersed as demonstrated by the larger SD = 10.55, as opposed
to the SD = 10.34 for the control group. But there is really
11. minimal difference in the SD for both groups.
· 5. Mean = 101.08. The arithmetic average or mean of all
empowerment posttest scores collected in this study was listed
in Table 2 under total group mean.
· 6. The experimental subjects’ mean empowerment scores
showed the greatest increase from baseline to posttest, with a
6.64 point increase as compared to a 6.44 point increase for
self-care self-efficacy and a 0.64 point decrease for depression.
This is an expected result because the intervention was an
empowerment program and one would expect that this type of
program would have a greater effect on empowerment level and
also on the self-care self-efficacy more than on the depression
scores.
· 7. The Relevant Study Results indicated that the mean or
average length of time on dialysis was 52.56 months. The
article indicated that there was no significant difference
between the control and experimental groups in clinical and
demographic characteristic
· (p <0.05), so there was no significant difference in length on
time on dialysis for the two groups.
· 8. Answer: b. 96 was the average self-care self-efficacy
posttest score for the experimental group. Mean is an arithmetic
average of the scores of a distribution (in this case, a
distribution of the posttest self-care self-efficacy scores of the
experimental group).
· 9. The control group's baseline empowerment SD = 8.99
indicates that one standard deviation from the mean for the
empowerment variable equaled 8.99 and that this SD indicates
the amount of dispersion or spread of the scores in the control
group at baseline.
