Statistical inference

Florida participated in classroom setting experiment. The independent variable was the level of congruence in number/symbol lists; the dependent variable was the reaction time (in seconds). In my findings, the results showed a statistical difference between conditions. Due to inference, the incongruent condition took a longer reaction time because it conflicted with our cognitive processing. This experiment was widely interpreted on Stroop, Windes, and Hintzman, D. L., Carre, F. A., Eskridge, V.…

Management is a universal phenomenon. It is a continuous process which helps and directs the various efforts towards a definite purpose. Harold Koontz states that “management is an art of getting things done through and with the people…[creating] an environment in which people can perform … towards attainment of group goals”. An arising problem within many current organisations is management being reluctant to change in attempts to maintain their status by resisting change under traditional…

The article “Capitalism vs. the Climate” was written by Naomi Klein about climate change and its solutions in relation to the economy as well as the political reactions to such solutions. Her article mainly revolves around the premise that climate change deniers are right about one thing, that in order to fix climate change, drastic changes in the modern economic models are needed. To this end, she makes a good, albeit flawed argument, as although she does provide a plethora of sources for her…

Statistics: the science of collecting, collating and analysing numerical data in large quantities, especially for the purpose of describing the phenomena or making inferences about the relationships between variables. Statistical anxiety: this refers to the irrational fear of some students when exposed to academic statistics courses. 6.2 Theoretical framework of motivation The theoretical framework for motivation that will be used in this literature…

Profiling has captured the imaginations of Hollywood filmmakers and their audiences for well over a decade. Viewers are easily captivated by Sherlockian detectives who profile perpetrators with brilliant precision, making for bewitching plotlines and intriguing character developments. Yet experts are far more critical of this lasso-like investigative tool. Research suggests that investigators cannot simply walk into a crime scene, construct a profile based on whatever information is left behind,…

executions of the assessment. The reliability of an assessment is necessary and is a foundation to build upon for validity. Validity is the second key measurement construct that deals with the degree to which “the evidence exists to support the various inferences, interpretations, conclusions, or decisions that will be made on the basis of a test” (Weathers, Keane, Davidson, 2001). There are various methods used to assess the reliability and validity of an assessment. DAPS The reliability…

The logos, ethos and pathos of these genres is self-evident, granted the reader has the required conceptual knowledge necessary for understanding the lexis and text of said genres (Wadsworth guide to research p.183). Research articles:The research article fulfills its logos appeal because of its well-structured and logical organization allows meaningful communication. Research articles, typically, tend to prove or disprove a hypothesis and finalize their results in the form of a conclusion;…

Summary: Class# 10 In the Class # 10 chapter, Managing Valuation, Julnes discusses various challenges and difficulties faced in valuing programs and policies. Evaluation is defining what the program is worth, defining the program’s merit and whether or not the program is worth it or not (Julnes 3). Evaluation is very critical to the public sector as it confirms and provides evidence whether or not it is a good program or not (Julnes 3). Julnes discusses four methods of analysis for valuing.…

This approach to research uses data from instruments such as surveys to understand specific groups. The data from the surveys can be used to make inferences about patterns or behaviors that might occur or factors (variables) that influence outcomes (Rhodes, 2014). One of the benefits of quantitative research is that it enables the researcher to make generalizations about larger groups. Using survey…

wine.For example, the author asks a question on just how long it took human beings to turn fruits into wine and goes ahead to answer the same question using information from other sources. The author says, “According to bimolecular” to indicate inferences of information from other sources. This gives the article authenticity and enhances credibility. This means that the article is convincing and one can use it to refer to when answering questions about wine. The age of the wine is not only a…
