Results In order to examine the differences in metaphorical language use of the experimental group and the control group at the beginning of the metaphor awareness treatment, an independent samples t-test was conducted for the data gathered from the participants’ recent writing test. The statistical analysis indicated that there was not a significant difference in the metaphorical language use of experiment group (M = 1.59; SD = .70) and control (M = 1.44; SD = 1.00); t (43) = .58, p = .56.…
MEDSCI 725: EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Ellynn Sy ANCOVA and More Complex Designs (Parametric Tests) Introduction Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is most frequently used to refer to the statistical technique that combines regression and ANOVA [1]. It offers a way to obtain a more precise assessment of the effect of the experimental manipulations on the dependent variable. An ANCOVA design requires the measurement of one or more other variables. These variables are covariates, predictor, variables,…
Regression Method Based on the data we collected, our expected regression equation is: Walmart revenue = β0 – β1CPI + β2CSI + β3ECOM – β4GAS + β5POP –β6INT – β7UNEMP + β8EARN Then we ran the regression on Minitab and got an actual regression equation. We used the method (i.e. five questions and nine problems) to evaluate the equation Minitab produced. For each of the nine problems, we ask five questions: What is the problem? How can I detect it? What are the consequences of the problem? What are…
1. a. The data set consist of 44 female and 53 males. b. There are 21 people under the age range of 13-35, which account for 21.6% of the total 97 in the sample. c. The mean level of the hour spent in the office during week 2 is 47.47 hours, with the standard deviation of 17.06. The distribution is slightly negative skew (-0.237), although in an acceptable range suggest that slightly more samples spend more hours in office than the average. The distribution’s value for kurtosis (-1.005)…
Introduction Antibiotics were initially thought of as a superior drug that could kill many bacterial diseases. Prior to antibiotics, it was hard for anyone to fight a bacteria. However, bacteria are very changing and have begun being able to gain resistance against antibiotics due to overuse, not strong enough dosage of antibiotics, or improper use. By determining the resistance and cross-resistance, one may determine the the relative ability for bacteria to gain resistance to antibiotics. We…
Metabolism is a complex process in organisms that convert the food into energy for organism to function properly. Metabolic rate is typically defined as the amount of energy the organism is currently using to maintain the activity (Perkin, 2015). Since metabolism is a key in sustaining the organisms’ life, we decided to investigate the experiment about metabolic rate caterpillar, Manduca sexta. There are many techniques used to measuring the metabolic rate, but there are only best method that…
In radiation therapy, bolus is a modality that helps compensate for differences in body contours, stop skin sparring, and to raise dose buildup on the patient’s skin (Washington, p. 171). Bolus is a tissue equivalent material, but there is not just one type of bolus. Superflab is a commercial bolus that most clinical sites use, but other bolus variations are also available for use. There is no study that compares Superflab, neon green Play-Doh, orange Play-Doh, and uncooked rice for providing…
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Data Collection This study uses a unique dataset, which is a subset of the data that has been used by Bhansali and Zhu [12]. The dataset includes estimated IT expenditure of 329 large companies for 2005. The data was collected by phone interviews using a questionnaire designed by the research team. The questionnaire was distributed to the participants before interviews. The data was collected from approximately 600 firms; since some of these organizations are…
Summary I gain a lot of insight and learning from going through the process of identifying a student, getting to know them, administering a variety of assessments, writing about and interpreting the test results, researching interventions and supports, and making recommendations based on all of the information collected. My two main takeaways are that I had some difficulties with Woodcock Johnson IV assessment and that I significantly changed my mind about the pedagogy of math. I struggled…
