A confidence interval is an estimate using a margin of error to provide me accurate parameter for better understanding a population (text). However, all the estimates of the intervals that exist do not matter if the data is provided using bias questioning. As a member of the United States Military I have been surveyed extensively as other service members would agree. Military question are poised in a way to not create bias. To accomplish this task the military asks how a certain subject is…

Data analysis offers an insight into what students know, should know, and what can be done to meet their academic needs. Students deserve an education that will provide opportunities for them to learn and grow. However each student has a unique background, strengths and weaknesses that play a significant role in educating them. When educators and parents can appropriately analyze and interpret data, they can make informed decisions that will significantly affect student-learning experiences.…

Monitoring Methodology Monitoring methodology is a science of using tools and monitoring techniques to properly document or provide transparency into a set of problems. Monitoring is the process of observing, checking and documenting a process over a longitudinal period of time.With respect to Boca Raton Regional Hospital (BRRH) our group identified two maintain points of interest when looking at its current finances. The hospital’s days cash on hand is extremely low when benchmarked against…

Introduction The ANOVA and the t-test are both similar in that they can tell the difference between groups, however, the major difference is that the ANOVA independent variable can have any number of groups (Sukal, 2013). The question of interest for this mini-research proposal using the one-way ANOVA, is the following: Does the frequency in days of the week make a difference in having an ideal body weight? The one-way ANOVA is the most appropriate statistical test as the question identifies an…

Stress Management App Efficacy: The Impact on Negative and Positive Affect Do various stress management apps effect negative and positive affect differently? The present study consisted of a randomized comparative efficacy trial, which aimed to unveil whether three stress management applications differed in their impact on negative and positive affect. Participants completed a pre-test assessment of their experiences of various negative and positive affects. The pre-test assessment also…

Outcome 3b of the Engineering Criteria of 2000, states that engineering graduates must have “an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data”. Engineers typically perform one of three types of experiments: a. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is already known (or at least suspected) and an experiment is needed to verify or quantify this relationship. b. A theoretical relationship between two or more variables is not available but…

Reflection essay #4 Our discussion about relationship between creativity and spatial reasoning reminds me of a study of “Mozart effect” (Rauscher et al. 1993), which showing that music by Mozart can temporary improves experimental subjects’ spatial reasoning ability comparing to the control group. Of course, the study is not promoting Mozart’s work. Some recent work shows that the music with seizure frequencies close to the working frequencies of brain can help with stimulating brain activity.…

The Infinity POM By: Vinayak Prathikanti, Varun Popli, & Alan Xiao For the second month, we had the Infinity POM, and it definitely made us think a little. The problem said to consider all of the infinite numbers between 0 and 1, then all of the numbers on the number line. Which one of these is the larger infinity? Now before we say anything else, we want to tell you that this is an extremely open ended problem, and that it is very hard to argue one side. While this is true, we…

1. What is the shape of Ebbinghaus’s Classic forgetting curve, and what does it tell us about memory? Ebbinghaus’s Classic forgetting curve is shaped like a curved letter L (T. Hanson. Brain and Behavior). It tells us that the sooner we rehearse new information after learning it, the better the likelihood that we will remember it. However, the more time that passes, the less able we will be to remember all of the information and it only takes a few minutes for much of the information to become…
