Chi-Square Test

In the Chi-Square test table below, the “Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed)” determines the level of confidence. This particular level of confidence is less than 0.5, which means the difference is statistically significant. The null hypothesis is thus rejected.

Pearson’s r value and (possibly) significance values, there was a correlation between the two variables [r = .208, n = 906, p = .000].

**. Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
In this chart, there was a positive correlation between the years of high school completed and the income of the respondent. The more years of high school that were completed led to a higher income for the respondent. This was calculated by a Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. The values that were found were positive with r=0.208, n=906, p=0.000. This is summarized by the scatterplot above. The Sig value strengthens the argument for a positive correlation between years and school and a higher income level, as the value is 0.000. This is less than 0.05 and thus statistically significant.
Positive correlation in a scatterplot
The line that is imagined in below shown scattered graph slopes upward from zero, and I am concluding that there is a positive correlation between

    “ The issue is not whether there is variation, but whether the variation is significant”. During your research variation will always occur, it is up to the research to determine the threshold, when does variation become significant or just coincidental. One of the most commonly used Confidence Interval is 95%, if the sample is due to coincidence, the difference is not significant we will fail to reject the null hypothesis, however if the difference is significant we will reject the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis, written as H0 states that nothing new has happened and the old theory still stands true. To determine if the variation is significant or coincidental we observed the p value, if the p value is greater than the assigned alpha…

    There seems to be a linear relationship but not enough to say it is when first testing if there was relationship, because the line slightly toughed one of the point (Y=1.39E2+2.48*x). There seem to be increasing relation between continine and cigarettes per day. But as we test further there seems to be no relation between continine and cigarettes per day on the scatterplots. When finally running the correlation test there was a positive correlation coefficient relation between the two variables. Meaning that when cigarettes per day increase, so does cotinine.…

    Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) refers to the change in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in response to a vasoactive stimulus (Kety and Schmidt, 1948). Impaired CVR has been linked with many cerebral and cerebrovascular pathologies (Glodzik et al., 2013; Greenberg, 2006a; Han et al., 2008; Mandell et al., 2008c; Mikulis et al., 2005; Yezhuvath et al., 2012; Zhao et al., 2007), to study the effects of drugs on cerebral vasculature (Pattinson et al., 2007; St Lawrence et al., 2002) and also presurgical planning (Zaca et al., 2011a). Impaired CVR was also found as a risk factor stroke for patients with carotid artery occlusion and stenosis (Silvestrini et al., 2000), has been studied in connection with dementia (Gupta et al., 2012; Silvestrini et al.,…

    The two-sample t procedure is appropriate to use in this experiment in order to see if there is a difference in the two population means of stride length in the two different species, N. rattus and N. squamipes. This is because the boxplots appear to be roughly symmetrical, as well as, both normal quantile-quantile plots look roughly linear. Considering two-sample t-procedures are quite robust to violations of the normality assumption, the t-procedure will likely perform well in this scenario. It is important to note that the second assumption of an independent simple random sample may not be reasonable as each species of rat came from a single municipality. This may not be representative of the entire population of the species.…

    Effects of Carbohydrate Ingestion Pre- Grip Strength Exercise on Muscle Endurance In the world of fitness, nutritional supplements are ingested with intent to maximize the results of strength exercise. In achieving favorable adaptations to exercise, sufficient nutrient consumption is critical. Also important is the timing of nutrient consumption, as greater benefits are observed when ingestion takes place in a time frame close to the exercise (Laurenson & Dubé, 2014). Previous literature suggests carbohydrate (CHO) intake to assist performance of aerobic exercise, which involves prolonged effort of energy (e.g., long distance running) (Kerksick et al., 2008).…

    Problem solving is an ability that humans have that is so refined that separates us from other species. Our process to critically think and solve situations helps us in everyday situations and in even more dire situations. However, this skill can make us miss important information. Previously, many studies that have been done have shown that base rate information is affected with diagnostic information being present. During this experiment, we will also try to replicate the results that previous studies have done in that people will not use logic when presented with diagnostic information The results did show a main effect interaction of the base rate.…

    In the 1970s, researchers began asking a simple question: “Why do some people get ill while others do not?” (Garmezy, 1973). Upon discovering a number of risk and protective factors, research quickly shifted towards a broader focus of general adaptation and resiliency in the face of adverse situations. Of particular interest were maltreated children and those suffering from ruinous illnesses and diseases, such as cancer (Fritz, 2015). What underlying factors result in a child maintaining a positive outlook on life despite suffering such pain?…

    Problem and Plan My purpose is to see if there is any relationship between the basal diameter (dbd) and the diameter at breast height (dbh) of the Waitutu Forest Sapling trees using information published by Landcare Research NZ and recorded from various measurements of alluvial and marine terraces in the Waitutu Forest between 2001-2008. I have chosen to study this as the relationship between different variables of these saplings is important for conservationists and scientists in their studies of our native forest. The Waitutu Forest houses a number of threatened species of animals and plants. It is important that this forest keeps regenerating to continue to keep these endemic species safe.…
