Statistical significance

of hypertension this result should be clearly communicated to providers as a positive for valsartan. The valsartan treatment group also displayed a reduction in heart failure compared to the amlodipine group. The difference did not reach statistical significance but the trend was more pronounce in the second half of the study when BP was more similarly controlled in both groups. This result suggests a potential cardiac benefit for…

Participants were not compensated for their participation as it was part of their course fulfilment. Materials The experiment was performed in a lab room where everyone had access to a computer and the internet. The experiment was performed on an online subscription based website with clear instructions. A…

I. Introduction A special program was designed to improve knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) regarding nutrition. The control group was comprised of a sample of 10 males who received the standard nutrition education program. The experimental group consisted of a sample of 10 males who received the KAP nutrition education program.

1. Jackson, even-numbered Chapter Exercises, pp. 308-310. 2. What is the difference between a randomized ANOVA and a repeated measures ANOVA? What does the term one-way mean with respect to an ANOVA? According to Jackson (2012), a randomized ANOVA is an analysis of variance conducted on data where the participants are randomly assigned to conditions in a between-subjects design (Jackson, 2012, p. 286). A repeated measures ANOVA is an analysis of variance conducted on data where the participants…

help them. There should be a realistic number of participants, such as 50 students, that should be used as subjects. This should be tasked randomly to the student so there would not be any bias. If there was a fewer number of students then the statistical…

Introduction In the music industry, there will always be a difference between artists; whether we realize it or not. One obvious difference is race. We as human beings have come so far in the battle against racism and have left that chapter behind us. However, small traces of racism still live today inside of most people (internalized racism). One example of how internalized racism lives on is through the music industry. For this investigation, I wanted to see the differences in success of an…

Before proceeding with any statistical procedures, I conducted a preliminary analysis using descriptive statistics and frequency analysis. Both were used to assess the characteristics of the data, check for violations of assumptions underlying the statistical techniques, as well as address research specific data requirements (Pallant, 2013). Using frequency analysis, I checked the minimum, maximum, and range of the categorical variables to identify errors and address the same. Additionally, I…

Nevertheless, there was statistical significance, between males and females on their patriotism scores. This could be due to the fact that males, generally, are more pleased with the election results and feel more patriotic at this time. But, it could also mean that males, in general, are…

provinces, hospitalized at the time of study, pregnant females and any patient and control who had any inflammation situation were excluded. Also, patients and controls were matched by age, gender and time of blood sampling. 3.2 Gene expression Statistical analysis of Ct (Cycle threshold) and ΔCt values revealed that a significant difference between the expression of SOCS1 gene in MS patients versus healthy controls (p=0.0001). Using 2-ΔΔCt method, our results revealed that the expression…
