History Sampling is regarded as one of the most necessary parts of auditing today, but as a matter of fact, it was not until 1997 that the “Audit Sampling” standard was issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). When auditing first came into fruition sampling was not given the same consideration that is has today, as company owners were “interested in discovering major accounts of fraud or misstatements in the financial statements” (Oana, Tatiana 2013, and…

randomization number and the instructions. The computerized random sampling method is appropriate because of its ease to use and accuracy of representation. Additionally, it eliminates selection bias and balances groups being studied (Suresh, 2011). Does the sample reflect the population as identified in the problem or purpose statement? The population in this research is the non-diabetic pregnant women above 18 years of age from diverse cultural background with the risk of developing GDM…

Darrell Huff masterfully writes How to Lie With Statistics which covers many of the statistic gathering and displaying methods used today, from carefully picked averages to well chosen samples. He does not simply discuss these methods, however. He spectacularly demonstrates how companies, colleges, and quite often media sources use these tools to manipulate data into their favor. While it may appear to be fairly outdated to the casual reader, Darrell Huff's book still applies today, over…

a study. They should also be able to know any risks or decisions that involve their healthcare. An ethical sample plan should be much like nursing ethics. An important ethical element to nursing…

The opposition has focused on research looking into the empirical evidence the proponents present. In the research conducted by Trzesniewski, Donnellan, & Robins (2008), they evaluated the empirical basis of the research and findings of Twenge and colleagues(year), specifically the limitations of convenience sampling. The first issue raised involved their technique of cross-temporal meta-analysis, which compiles data from a questionnaire for an extensive number of years. With this concern…

As each research sought to advance our current knowledge, results will vary and may even rebut previous researches. Results may vary due to assorted differences between studies. For example, the research design, quantitative or qualitative, the sample size and selection, even the researcher’s preconceived opinion can play a role in the outcome of the research. Some researchers may show preference over particular variables which may sway results while conducting the research. Often times the…

Significance The research problem discussed in the paper is the scarcity of organ donations worldwide. The literature examined some variables that affect signing an organ donor card. Some of the variables that the researcher identified that may affect SODC are: spirituality, purpose in life and attitudes toward donation as some factors that affect the signing of donor card. This research affects nursing practice by bringing awareness to a solvable problem, which is the scarcity of organ…
