no mode, .0389 for the standard deviation, and .499 ± .0389 for the best answer. The Rf values for the dyes of the green skittles are .621, .455, .628, .590, and .397. The statistics for these numbers are .538 for the mean, .590 for the median, no mode, .105 for the standard deviation, and .538 ± .105 for the best answer. The Rf values for the dyes of the orange Skittles are .284, .271, .321, .275, .222. The statistics for these numbers are .275 for the mean, .275 for the median, no mode,…
can describe the data with the help of descriptive statistics. The data can be described with the help of various types of graphs and central tendency. Measures of central tendency are mean, median and mode. Mean is reliable for normal data. Median is reliable for a data which has outliers. And mode is preferred when data is categorical. There are various types of graphs like pie chart, bar graph which gives us a pictorial representation of data. Measure of variability which is also known as…
hypertension lifestyle factors and willingness to engage in self-care scores there are a total of 14 participants. The levels of central tendency consist of the mean of 5.5 which is the average score, the median of 5.5 which is the exact middle number and the mode of 7 which is the most frequent occurring score (Salkind, 2013). There was an average deviation from the sample mean of 2.35, therefore it can be said that 95% of cases would fall between -2 standard deviation (SD) and +2SD (Loiselle…
I chose to research the box and whisker plot for my final project, because I remember when I learned it in high school that I enjoyed it more than most math things. I could also understand how it worked better, so I thought that I could explain it better in my paper and in the presentation than the other topics. The box and whisker plot is used to show the shape of the distribution, it's central value, and it's variability. Before Barry Manilow's 74th birthday, he started to wonder, what are the…
In the control group, 31 are married (86.1%), 1 is separated/divorced (2.8%) and 3 are single (8.3%). The mode is married in each group as that is the value that appears most often. The frequency is 51 (out of 67 total subjects) a percentage of 82.1% for both groups together. 7. Could a median be determined for the education data? If so, what would the…
For the measure of central tendency of a home, I believe this would fall under the nominal variable and be a mode tendency. Walker (2009) states that the mode is the most frequently occurring value in a 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…
the beginning when Adam and Eve committed the first sin by eating the forbidden fruit. If God were determining their fate, he would have not let them eat the fruit, let alone put that choice in the garden to begin with. The bottom line is that God is only pure, and since we are sinners, it is obvious that we have choice in our…
something vital to life is missing. The thing that makes it all worth it. Happiness. We can choose to take the steps towards happiness or allow ourselves to stay in the same place, in the same miserable state of mind for years. Being able to make choices for your own happiness takes a level of self-confidence and courage that can, at times, seem unobtainable. Occasionally we don 't even realize how unhappy we are until someone or something comes along and reminds us of what we deserve in life.…
Consciousness is the author of choice, the key to making true decisions. When we, as consumers purchase something, we assume we do so out of our own will. We are the masters of our own ship, the captains of our own destiny. Choosing what car to buy, or what computer to use might be less than a conscious decision. Throughout their book, Sedivy and Carlson (2011) present evidence that advertisers focus their attention of affecting our implicit processing while Wegner (2003) points out in his…
insight to, the nature of the self, freedom of choice and issues on ethics and morality. If I am anything like most people, I bet we will concise that we are not exactly sure what it is that makes us who we are. I found it entertaining going through many of these great thinkers like, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, Sigmund Freud and…
