Standard

What is standard care? Standard care is a measure of what the community expects and demands from a person from a person in a given situation (Varone, 2012). There are two types of standard care, ordinary and professional. Ordinary standard care is the degree of care that the reasonably prudent person would not run would have exercised under the circumstances and professional standard care is the care that a person with professional skills and training is required to exercise, namely, the care that the reasonably prudent professional of like training and experience would have exercised under the circumstances (Varone, 2012, pp. 254-255). Jury members have the right to rely upon life experiences in order to determine the reasonably prudent person would do(Varone, 2012, p. 256). Professional standard of care is a problem when, the jury must be educated about what the reasonably…

Out of the three sets of expert testimony admissibility standards: The Frye Standard, Rule 702, and the Daubert Standard, the last standard is the best option for Florida. Three main reasons why the Daubert Standard is the better option is: 1) It increases the reliability of evidence by examining factors such as error rate, alternative explanations, and peer reviews 2) It has more checks and balances than the Frye Standard’s criteria of just general acceptance. 3) It is more likely to filter out…

The Daubert standard is the best choice for determining the admissibility of forensic evidence and expert witnesses in Florida based on the articles provided. The evidence and expert witness testimony that is put forth in Florida litigation should be assessed by the same standards that apply for all rules of evidence in federal courts. Although the Frye standard provides a wide scope as to what can be used as evidence, a stricter set of standards would be more beneficial to the public because it…

The article, “Standard Error of Measurement” by Leo M. Harvill from East Tennessee State University, provided a general introduction of Standard Error of Measurement (SEM). First, it introduced the basic concepts of test reliability. An obtained score or a raw score refers to the number of points obtained by an examinee. The obtained score could be influenced by several factors such as the ambiguity of test items, the fatigue of the examinee, and these factors make the obtained score unlikely to…

1. Z- test is used when the sample size is large enough n>30, the population standard deviation is known, and population is normally distributed. Example: Is the mean of systolic blood pressure level for women use of oral contraceptives is identical with women does not use of oral contraceptives, the sample mean > 30, we known the population standard deviation and it is normally distributed. H0: µ1=µ2 H1: µ1≠µ2 2. t- test is used when the population standard deviation is…

spoken by 422 million individuals worldwide, making it the fifth most commonly utilized language. Central Semitic in classification, it developed from a Proto-Semitic predecessor and has evolved significantly with time. Today, based purely on linguistic grounds, one could argue that Arabic is in fact not one distinct language, but is several because some dialects are mutually unintelligible. Jordanian Arabic is a mutually understandable branch of the South Levantine Spoken dialect of Standard…

Standard Oil Court Case In 1911 the biggest oil industry was being tried for going against the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Two of the most important standards regarding expert witnesses are the Frye and Daubert standards. Those will be discussed in detail along with the M’Naghten and Durham rules. Following the explanation of the two standards and the two rules, an article by Jennifer McDougal and Ray Bull will be analyzed and related to the discussion of the validity of the forensic interview. The Frye standard originated in during the 1923 appellate court case Frye v. United States. In the original case, Frye…

Close your eyes. Now, see yourself flying a plane with no radar, or as a stream running with no riverbank to guide it. This is what the World Wide Web would be like without Web Standards. Immense Networks offers a clear scenario. Imagine driving your car where there are no street lights, stop signs, or lanes; it would be pure chaos. Standards are created for universal order, and the web is no different. Web developers should abide by standards to keep things flowing properly on the internet…
