Skewness

continuum.eg age, income status, and for discrete variables such as, health rating, diabetes self-efficacy, and diabetes tangible support. The discrete variable has to have a symmetric distribution in order to use mean. Coffman did not addresss skewness nor did she utilized variance in her text .However, “variable would be considered as skewed if the standard deviation is more than three times of its mean” (Hussain, 2012). With the data presented in the text the data appears skewed therefore…

The two-sample t procedure is appropriate to use in this experiment in order to see if there is a difference in the two population means of stride length in the two different species, N. rattus and N. squamipes. This is because the boxplots appear to be roughly symmetrical, as well as, both normal quantile-quantile plots look roughly linear. Considering two-sample t-procedures are quite robust to violations of the normality assumption, the t-procedure will likely perform well in this…

The analysis of Nifty Bank Index daily returns for the period from January 2006 to December 2015 is presented in Table – 4.7. This table explain that the mean returns of Nifty Bank Index earned positive result for all trading days of the week in the year 2009. The returns were high (0.636) on Tuesday in 2012 and low return of (-.712) on Thursday in 2008. The Negative Monday returns were recorded in 2006, 2008,2011,2012,2013 and 2015. Negative Friday returns were recorded for only two years i.e.…

These particles are removed by the image processing routine in its third step, the binarization, in which only the jet region is extracted. It is believed that they are responsible for the stream-wise skewness of the ground distribution in Fig.\ref{Profiles_1}.a, particularly its left tail. Noteworthy, these distributions are similar in this region: due to high particle-particle interaction (attractive, due to straw kernel twisting) the amount of particles…

Expressive, I scored a 6, Driver 5, Analytical 5, and Amiable 4. For weaknesses Under Expressive, I scored a 6, Driver 4, Analytical 5, and Amiable 5. The chart of comparison shows that I’m pretty much balanced between the four, but I see more of a skewness towards expressive. I’m more of an open emotion as well as being very assertive. I think this is pretty accurate, because I see myself as a person that shows confidence and forceful personality, but even though I show a lot of confidence I…

Introduction The aim of the experiment was to investigate whether different formulations of aspirin would affect its bioavailability. This required the use of normal aspirin tablets, aspirin tablets with sodium bicarbonate, soluble aspirin, and enteric coated aspirin. Depending on which group the students were allocated they administered different formulations of aspirin. The pH and the concentration of salicylate in each urine sample, collected at different time points, was determined after…

4) When all outliers were retained, the reliability of counter-productivity and personality were within acceptable range (α= .71, and α= .76 respectively) (George and Mallery, 2003; Mohsen and Reg, 2011; Nunnally and Bernstein, 1994; Bland and Altman, 1997; DeVellis, 2003) After deleting all univariate outliers and multivariate outliers, reliability of counter-productivity and personality were α=.59, α=.76 respectively. According to Spiliotopoulou, 2009, a larger sample size might increase…

Marcia Baron and Alan Dershowitz both have different views as to what the permissibility of torture should be, especially with regards to the famed Ticking Bomb Hypothetical which has been used on multiple occasions to permit and even encourage torture as an information gathering tactic. Baron makes it clear that she recognizes there might be extreme cases where torture is understood as the lesser of two evils, but that the Ticking Bomb Hypothetical should not be considered a viable hypothetical…

Article Critique Anorexia is a classless, ageless, and genderless psychiatric disease that affects people all over the world. In the majority of the cases, it develops during adolescence a period of change an instability where proper guidance should be given.This study looked at inpatient treatment intervention (IP) versus a day patient treatment intervention (DP) on adolescents. The article’s title is self explanatory and just a few adjustments are needed for clarification to readers…

All three of these situations are known as designing your baby, and yet this poses a lot of controversy for those with and without children. Overall, the social aspects of the designer babies are that it enforces social standards of beauty and what’s considered the ideal human. Take a look at China and India, for example, have had a catastrophic sex ratio imbalance since 2005 when it was considered most devastating. The MIT Press Journals concluded data from the continents to determine how…
