Hypothesis testing

Similarity indices and genetic distance The overall mean similarity index for Brassica oleracea accessions calculated based on all AFLP fragments amplified using Nei’s (1978) similarity index, ranged from 0.297 to 0.999 with an average of 0.744 (Table 3). The highest similarity indices (0.999) and the lowest genetic distance (0.001) were between the accessions of the same crop variety and geographical region, e.g. spring cabbage HRIGRU4564 and HRIGRU4571 from Cork. Accessions having close…

In order to successfully understand minority influence were interested in finding research that determines how those individuals or minority groups who firmly uphold their own deviant or marginal standpoint can have an impact on the belief systems and behavior patterns of other individuals. Research on minority influence is of recent origin. Most research about social influence in particular, were based and entirely focused on conformity, on the way a group affects individuals and brings about…

The experiment consisted of numerous limitations and uncontrolled variables which impacted on the validity of the outcome. The lack of repetition was a major limitation in this experiment. The shortage of repetition forbids the elimination of outliers that may cause inaccuracy in the practical outcome. The lack of repetition in this experiment provided erroneous practical results where experimenters are mislead due to outliers, hence conclusions could not be accurately drawn. According to…

Introduction Conformity assessment is generally any activity undertaken to determine, whether a product, process, system, person or body meets relevant standards and fulfills specified requirements [1]. The main application of conformity assessment is in facilitating trade. In a particular kind of conformity assessment, sometimes called inspection, the determination that a product fulfils a specified requirement relies on measurement as a principal source of information [2]. In each quantified…

In the Red Bead Experiment, a small proportion of red beads are interspersed with white beads. In this model, the white beads are desirable by the customer whereas the red beads are not and can be considered as errors. The employee receives instructions on how to collect the beads properly and proceeds to do so. The results are then tallied documenting the number of errors (red beads) which are identified. There are a number of interpretations of the data derived from this experiment…

I make this recommendation based on the data I collected from my simulated investigation. After testing the three different patch types with varying death probabilities, the patch type that was least effected by the death probability at three different rates, is the enlargement patch type. The overall average butterfly count when the death probability…

A pervious study conducting at Yale University, found that full flagellar regeneration occurred with in 90 minutes after deflagellation (Rosnbaum, et al.,1969). Our results presented evidence that our hypothesis was not supported. The average number of cells that were motile before deflagelltion was 55.56 of Chlamydomonas. The average number of cells that were motile 50 minutes after deflagellation was 43.80 motile cells. The difference in motility was…

The value of the correlation coefficient is found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. Secondly, the correlation between ROI and QR is 0.90 which is also found to be insignificant at 5 per cent level. It reveals that there is no correlation between the two variables. It is evident from these two ratios that the lower the company's margin of safety to the short term creditors, the greater is the profitability of the concern. Thirdly, the correlation coefficient between ROI and WCR is…

Results Pearson-R Correlation The data underwent correlational analysis using the Pearson-R coefficient and obtained the following results: Table 1.

A fever is not an illness, but rather an indication of an underlying problem or cause within the body. It is characterized by an elevated core temperature measuring above 100°F (37.8°C).1 This increase in temperature is controlled by the hypothalamus, which raises the thermoregulatory set point in order to defend the body.1 Fevers are a great concern in infants, with more children having reported fevers compared to adults.1 Acetaminophen is both a prescription and an over-the-counter medication…
