is control by other parties. The almost the same results are for the states which do not have death penalty (64,79% and 35.21%, respectively) With a Person Chi2 of 0.2091, a p value of 0.647 and a degree of freedom equivalent to 2, there is not statistical significant relationship between these two…

No one will argue that determining the number of significant figures and keeping with the rules of those “sigfigs” throughout an already strenuous calculation can be a pain. Countless points and half-points have been deducted from tests throughout chemistry’s ages from students claiming that significant figures are, ironically, insignificant. But, let’s consider the following scenario. Joey is in his inorganic chemistry lab. The second step to the lab tells him to measure out the mass of Iron he…

to grow in all countries with the only difference in period when the impact reaches its peak. However, not all impulse response functions are statistically significant. In this paper statistical significance is tested by analysing confidence intervals. It has become standard in relevant papers to evaluate statistical significance using upper and lower limits of impulse response functions. “An easy way of assessing whether any of these responses is significantly different from zero is to search…

Figure 1.This suggest similar behaviour between the observed probabilities of tooth eruption and the predicted Survival probabilities from the CoxPH model. Hence, we conclude that the multivariate survival model fitted above has a high predictive power. The hazard ratio of M1 relative to I1 is 1.89 whereas the hazard ratio of other teeth types relative to I1 are less than 1. This indicates that M1 is the first to erupt and that other types of teeth emerge after I1. By similar argument comparing…

Exercise 7 (set 1) 1. What are three versions of the null hypothesis? The three versions of the null hypothesis are: (1) “the observed difference was created by sampling error”, (2) “there is no true difference between the two groups” and (3) “the true difference between the two groups is zero.” (Barker, 56-57) 2. Is the null hypothesis typically stated in social scientific research? Why/why not? The null hypothesis is not usually stated in social scientific research. Researchers rarely state…

To assess the overall model fit of the measurement model, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed. The measurement properties resulted from CFA are summarized in Table 3. In this study, the chi-square statistic indicated the overall model was not fit very well (x^2 = 527.397, p < .001). However, The value of the normed chi-square static to sample size, showed that the model fit the data well with x^2/df at 2.028, which was lower than the recommended threshold of 3. In addition, the…

and may take time. The RF has a high power density and in order to maintain the performance, it is important to keep a check on the temperature of the chip. As and when the temperature of the RF increases it gives rise to a number of faults. The temperature increased also degrades the life of the transistor. This calls for a cooling process that is expensive. Because of the exponential relationship, as the junction temperature is increased, the leakage power…

By understanding the power and influence that social media have in a college student life is vital for todays society. Social media has created a tremendous opportunity for college student to stay in contact with each other on a much easier level. However, some have been badly mistreated on it, so bad, that they never recuperate from it. The Internet and social media have become a platform for everybody to voice their opinion, and it is almost impossible not having any privacy without not being…

Nursing Students experience a significant amount of stress and anxiety during their time in nursing school. In the article Biofeedback Intervention for Stress and Anxiety Among Nursing Students: A Randomized Control Trial, the researchers discuss the use of biofeedback measuring heart rate variability to control the amount of stress and anxiety second year nursing students experience during their clinical. The researchers decided use biofeedback heart rate variability (HRV), since there have…

Index tests The anatomic snuff box (ASB) tenderness and the longitudinal thumb compression (LTC) tests were both evaluated in 8 studies ensuring power to perform statistical analyses. The summary receiver operating characteristic curves showed that sensitivity was higher for ASB tenderness. For ASB tenderness, 8 articles studying 1164 patients were included. The sensitivity was relatively homogeneous, with a range between 0.87 and 1.00. The specificity ranged between 0.03 and 0.98 indicating…
