First, the variable Percentage Black Students had a medium negative correlation (r = -0.59) to QDI. A linear regression analysis using Black Student Percentage as the independent variable and QDI the dependent variable resulted in a linear regression equation with a y-intercept of 163.11 and a slope of -0.27, which is statistically significant due to a p value of 0.01. The results of the regression analysis for these variables…
The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets The Mandelbrot and Filled Julia Sets are sets of numbers that are composed of complex numbers that do not diverge for varying conditions of the function fc(z)=z²+c. For the Mandelbrot set, the function is iterated from z=0. The filled Julia set holds c constant for any complex number to look at the behavior of the iterated functions for each value of z in the complex plane. Both sets are derived from the iterations of simple functions in the complex plane,…
In the article “The Happiness of Pursuit” by Jeffrey Kluger, multiple tables are provided showing different data and percentages on certain factors of happiness. Looking at the tables on the page title “Got Joy,” there was three in specific that caught my eye. The first being the one labeled “Then and Now” which shows the difference in percentages from 2004 to 2013 in whether people described themselves as optimists or pessimists. The percent of Optimist decreased from 70% to 50%, which can…
Stress is a very complex topic. To my understanding it is an emotion felt not only mentally but physically as well. A large straining that you endure from being under immense pressure, at times you feel there is no way out. It can come from the negativity of your peers, and almost always from your very own self-doubt. Stress to me as a student and as a worker are very separate functions. From my student side I worry about not doing well on not only one but a series of demanding tasks from all of…
2.5. Statistical analysis Multivariate analysis was performed using two algorithms: PCA and 2-D HCA heat map. The PCA, based on the correlation matrix, was performed using XLStat-Pro 2015 software. The 2-D HCA heat map was carried out with the ArrayTrack, and the Ward's minimum-variance method was used for runs and hydrocarbons clustering. A probability level of p=0.05 was considered as significant difference. The data obtained from the RSM on the hydrocarbon removal were subjected to the…
Reliability Table 4.5 Reliability Test Variable Cronbach’s Alpha N of Items Remark Brand Awareness 0.825 5 Reliable Brand Association 0.757 3 Reliable Perceived Quality 0.763 4 Reliable Brand Loyalty 0.890 5 Reliable After validity test, this is the result of the reliability test. The requirement to be reliable is the Cronbach’s Alpha must be more than 0.7. As seen from the table 4.5 the Cronbach’s Alpha of every variables are more than 0.7 which are remarked as reliable. To be explained, the…
Data analysis method First, using Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test to examine the normality of the variables in each of the hypotheses and assumptions of one to five using regression analysis and using software Spss18 and then fourth hypothesis using structural equation modeling (Path Analysis) using software Amos22 to confirm or refute the hypothesis of the research study. Hypotheses: 1. Empowerment dimension effect on turnover intention. 2. Interoperability dimensions have an effect on…
Objective (v) Seeks to estimates a supply response model for palm oil in Nigeria inclusive of price and non-price factors. In other to estimate the supply response for Nigeria palm oil production, the model of Ayanwale et al, (2011) was used, with slight modification. The supply equation is specified as a function of the production of palm oil, price of palm oil, price of competitive crop (soyabean), harvested area, rainfall in year t (mm) as climate element, interest rate, exchange rate, palm…
The Bronze Age in the Mediterranean Grecian regions was a time for exploration and war, trade and commerce, and ingenuity. Two monumental cultures with the evident demise influenced one another through economy, architecture, and logogram. The Minoans originated on the island of Crete, and their palace and administrative center titled Knossos. The Mycenaean culture, on the other hand, flourished on the mainland of Greece, in the palaces of Pylos and Mycenae. Both cultures thrived from maritime…
“Regression analysis is a very effective quantitative forecasting technique for short-, medium and long-range time horizons and can be easily updated.[i]” A simple linear regression model is a mathematical relationship between two quantitative variables, i.e. X and Y. Y is the variable we seek to predict based on the other variable X, for which we have information. Regression can predict Scanim’s personnel requirements for inbound operators at varying levels of Chrysler auto sales. In…
