of 0.4 is 0.31 or 31% of the overall visual spread ((4.1-3.7)/(4.5-3.2)=0.31), is significant considering the sample size of 491. Thus, implying that the median for males to match/equal the median females, the male inter quartile range (IQR) should move 31% of the overall visual spread. From this we can make the decision that back in the population of females and males, based on this sample size, females are more agreeable than males. The standard deviation…
To determine if mood state changed from pretest to posttest a paired samples t-test was calculated on mood state. Mood state changed from pretest (M=27.7, SD=5.8), to posttest (M=30.1, SD=4.8), t (43) = -4.8, p = 0.00. To test the hypothesis that HAI increases mood, a one way ANOVA was calculated. As displayed in table 1, the effects of conditions had no significant difference on mood in people, F (2, 42) = 1.5, p = 0.23. To test the effect of species, a 2 (species) x 3 (condition) factorial…
Condition Assignment The participants for this study will be undergraduate college students in introductory criminology and criminal justice classes at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York, NY. Based on preliminary power analyses, a minimum sample size of 159 will be necessary to detect a medium-sized effect (f = .25) with a power of .80 at an α level of .05. The participants will be randomly assigned using a computer based algorithm to watch one of three brief videos which depict a…
Powers , David J. Rothman & Stanley Rothman’s article, Transformation of Gender Roles in Hollywood Movies: 1946-1990, the authors explore the changes of gender roles in film. In their article they first looked at a sample of the top grossing 146 films between 1946-1965. In this 44 year sample they found that even though female characters appear in all of the films, they have very distinctive roles. The authors discuss that in these movies “women characters typically seek to divert male…
president could get from the database, including the sample standard deviation, the sample mean, and the sample size, the president could figure out the number of WAR at the 90th percentile. Through conducting the Z test, the president could find the most competitive players from the candidates he chose previously and form a stronger…
This journal article review will look at the information presented, and determine whether or not the findings by the author are consistent enough to merit additional research. The sample of this study consists of forty-two children from New Zealand, ages eight through twelve. Their parents were also a part of the sample, as their results were highly reciprocal of their children’s results, and vice versa. The participants were selected from schools in Dunedin, New Zealand, as part of a broader…
college. However some where divided on the impact it would have on enlistment as wether it would increase due to patriotistic sentiment or decrease with them rise in probability of actual engagement. An unidentified polling organization arranged to a sample to see this change. From 5 cities in Upstate New York a random high school was collected. Then the guidance counselor of the high schools randomly selected 100 students. The purpose is evaluate the proportion of college bound seniors…
adhere to the ethical guidelines, initially a letter requesting written consent to conduct the research in the pupil referral unit was sent to the head teacher of the school and a signature of authorisation was obtained. The letter included the nature, sample and scope of my research project and how the ethical guidelines will be adhered too, finally it discussed how it will not affect any relationships that have been made between pupil and teacher. In addition to this, the University of…
The voluntary questionnaire, named, ‘Please taste and Rate’; There were three categories represented a sad face as dislike, neutral face as undecided, and a happy face as acceptable. After tasting the samples, people were prompted to rate how they liked the Walnut Banana Shake. On the other hand, the involuntary questionnaire was filled out myself using the same format as the voluntary questionnaire. The attitude and interest level of the individuals…
As sample size decreases, so does confidence in the estimate and accuracy of findings. The small sample size (n=60) meant that a number of categories has cell totals of less than five but also more than two levels. Thus neither the planned Chi Square nor the secondary Fisher’s exact tests could be conducted for items with these characteristics. Additionally, the method of recruiting participants (through the researchers’ networks and through the university) meant that the sample may have been…
