Explore Correlation and Regression Using the explore function within SPSS gives a clearer view of how the data is represented. The explore function helps to assess the variables within the investigation by visually identifying various aspects of the data, therefor revealing the true nature of the data (Field, 2013). For example, the data in the Chamorro-Premuzic.sav file can be evaluated in a number of ways, for example analyzing the data based on the gender grouping allow one to visualize the…
Pre-Lab Questions 1. A population is a group of the same species that live in the same area and sometimes compete or can mutually benefit one another. A group of organisms will only be considered a population if they live in the same area in space and time. N is the true population size for a given group of organisms. This number is unlikely to be completely known. Whereas N hat is an estimate of population size. 2. There are two methods of sampling, direct and indirect. Direct sampling is an…
(in mm) in a hypothetical population of Paenibacillus bacteria (Whitlock and Schluter, 2015, pg 146). In the examples, a single colony is randomly sampled form the population. Since the probability is a bell-shape, the hypothetical population is a normal distribution. (Figure re-created using Microsoft Word shapes and…
List the probability value for each possibility in the binomial experiment that was calculated in MINITAB with the probability of a success being ½. (Complete sentence not necessary) P(x=0) P(x=6) P(x=1) P(x=7) P(x=2) P(x=8) P(x=3) P(x=9) P(x=4) P(x=10) P(x=5) 4. Give the probability for the following based on the MINITAB calculations with the probability of a success being ½. (Complete sentence not necessary) P(x?1) P(x<0) P(x>1) P(x?4) P(4 5. Calculate the mean and standard…
Analysis of Galvanized Nails, Quality Control, and Green Chemistry Introduction: In this lab, we handled acidic chemicals that needed to be disposed of upon completion of the lab. We disposed of these chemicals according to safety policies and green chemistry policies. Green Chemistry is the practice of chemistry in an environmentally safe way to prevent pollution. We used green chemistry to minimize the amount of waste we were to be creating. We ended up creating waste from degalvanizing…
(p. 340). This should express that a normal distribution will always follow this rule. Therefore, if one wanted to ensure that home sales were still tracking to normal distribution, a quick calculation would ensure it. If home sales or prices experienced an unusual circumstance, this calculation would allow one to see if the data were skewing positively or negatively. It is clear from the data in Table II that all four of the calculations are tracking to a normal distribution and all data points…
first factor discussed was the discovery that computations can be utilized to measure observational error, by and astronomer, Lambert Adolphe Quetelet. This discovery led to the development of the normal distribution curve utilized today (Cowles & Davis, 2016). Following the development of the normal distribution curve, a measure of variability known as probable error was discovered (Cowles & Davis, 2016). This discovery was the second factor mentioned by Cowles and Davis (2016) that…
Purpose of assessments: The assessments that Sean took was for class credit. Sean is currently enrolled in Counseling 428 Measurement issues in Counseling where he was required to take three different assessment for college credit. This assessment activities included talking assessment, and scoring the different assessments. Background: Sean is currently a student at California University Los Angeles where he is majoring in Rehabilitation Services. In this major he had to take a Career…
4. Empirical results In this section we discuss the empirical results of the VAR model analysis described in the previous section. In subsection 4.1 we analyse significance of coefficients in the model and apply Granger Causality test. In subsection 4.2 we present the results of impulse response functions analysis and variance decomposition. Afterwards, we turn to subsection 4.3 to test reliability of the VAR model. 4.1 Testing for significance and Granger-causality According to Wald test…
When conducting a hypothesis test for the difference between two means it’s essentially called a two sample t-test. According to Dr. Mirabella (2011, p. 5-2) states that, “In each case you can conduct a t-test for independent means to determine if a significant difference exists.” Furthermore, we’re conducting this test to see if there is an overlapping or if there is clearly a difference among the GPAs for men and women. In our case we are comparing the GPAs for a sample of men and a sample…
