Moran’s I but here the cross product is taken on actual values at two locations. C(d)=((n-1))/(2Σ_i^n Σ_j^n w_(ij ) ).Σ_i^n Σ_j^n w_(ij ) (x_i-x_j )^2/Σ_i^n (x_i-x ̅ )^2 n – number of observations x_i,x_j-values of varaibles in locations i and j x ̅-mean value of x varaible w_(ij )-element of spatial weight matrix W 3.2.2 Geary’s C Pros and Cons This test for global spatial autocorrelation is also one of the common measures (Gorniak, 2016) and one of the limitations of this is that it is used…

In his essay, The Median Isn’t the Message, Stephan Jay Gould shows that the median will not always present the most accurate results in statistics. This premise is further discussed throughout his essay while his research and beliefs expand as well. In July of 1982, Gould was diagnosed with an early stage of abdominal mesothelioma, and soon went into surgery. Once he recovered from his surgery, he began his research on his cancer, the chances of survival, and the statistical methods used in…

The experiment began with a reaction of a 1cm3 cube of lamb liver and 5mL of hydrogen peroxide solution being put in test tubes in a beaker filled with 10℃ water until the temperatures of the liver and hydrogen peroxide were 10℃ also. The liver was put into a 100mL measuring cylinder and the hydrogen peroxide was also poured in as the timer was started. After twenty seconds, several millilitres of froth had been produced from the chemical concoction. This froth was recorded into a results table,…

expresses normal visual acuity (in other words, the sharpness, or clarity, of vision) measured at a distance of 20 feet. People with 20/20 vision can clearly see the objects that should normally be seen at 20 feet. However, 20/20 does not necessarily mean perfect vision. The term only indicates the sharpness or clarity of vision at a distance, and does not take into account the other important vision skills that contribute to your overall visual ability. (Those skills include eye coordination,…

distribution. By showing on the table that a house is that most frequent that is lived in, there is no median or mean that can be determined as the numbers are skewed. On the next table for arrest, I believe that a true zero can be identified as many people may have never been arrested as described by Walker (2009). This could be a ratio falling under the central tendency of a mean. I could see a mode also being determined for the arrest variable, but the values would not give a clear…

This ensured they were continuously aware of the required steps and completed them consistently. Further, the researcher observed steps during bi-weekly visits and found individual steps to be consistently met, on average between 81% to 98% with a mean average or 92% as measured across 35% of the measured…

As technology has advanced throughout the years, so have the means of education. With these advancements, online classes have become available and more common. Online classes are generated on the computer and done at home. Online classes are done on a students own time. Although that might sound appealing to you, traditional classes are still more popular. As many people know, traditional classes are face to face and usually take place in a classroom. These classes have an instructor to help…

In order to examine the data, we utilized SPSS statistical software and conducted a regression analysis of the direct variables of Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Work and Well-being, and Job Satisfaction against the constant independent variable, Frequency of Supervisor Feedback. We used regression analysis because it allowed us to discern any causal relationships between our dependent variables and one constant variable that might support or reject our hypotheses. We were looking for…

“Down syndrome is found in 1 out of 800 births in the United States of America. 90 percent of people with Down’s syndrome live over the age of 5 years old. The occurrence of Down’s syndrome in young children to young adults was 1 in 971.”(American Academy of Pediatrics, 2009). Around half of children with Down’s syndrome have congenital heart defects and this disorder increases the risk of having leukemia. The risk of a child having Down’s syndrome increases after the age of 35 in mothers.…

Down syndrome affects 1 in every 691 births, a condition sometimes called trisomy 21, where a child inherits an extra copy of chromosome 21. Children born with Down syndrome have distinctive features such as: weak muscle tone, a small mouth held partially open because it is not big enough to accommodate for the tongue, and distinguishing eyelids. More serious deficiencies comprise of low resistance to infectious diseases, heart abnormalities, and fluctuating levels of mental retardation, in most…
