Statistical survey

meaning between one category value and another (Kim & Mallory, 2014). Other examples provided by Kim and Mallory (2014) of interval levels of measurement included scored tests and questionnaires, which is the nature of both the PACER test and ASSQ survey. The dependent variable of adiposity reduction is the continuous variable, ratio level of measurement. Kim and Mallory (2014) explain that the ratio level has, “a meaningful zero and equal proportion” between values (p.39). Examples provided by…

to edit. I made changes to my instrument as needed. Each member in my group expressed their thoughts about my instrument, and provided educational feedback based on what was taught in class meetings and examples from our textbook. The items on my survey instrument needed to be adjusted to a 5 point scale using the Likert-type scale. The score ranges for each of the constructs was 1-Strongly Agree, 2-Agree, 3- Neutral, 4-Disagree, 5-Strongly Disagree. The changes made in my instrument are based…

Our survey sought to answer a number of questions revolving around Ford School master’s students textbook purchasing behavior, with the intent to provide information useful to faculty when selecting text(s) for their courses. We were interested in how students gain access to books/texts for their class and what factors influence their likelihood to do so. Specifically, we wanted to know: What proportion of classes ask students to buy textbooks? - No specific hypothesis, but wanted a baseline of…

five experts edit and review it prior to it being published. The review process is stringent and NEJM accepts only five percent of articles submitted for publication (NEJM, n.d.). The process of publication involves the collaboration of editors, statistical experts, illustrators, manuscript editors, proofreaders and production personnel (NEJM, n.d.). An example of an article which went through this process and was successfully…

The four research terms that are new to my understanding are response bias, descriptive analysis, quasi-experiment, and true experiment. • Response bias is the effect of nonresponse on a survey. How would results change if those who had not response would have responded. • Descriptive analysis is an analysis of all data for independent and dependent variables in the study. • Quasi-experiment has to do with participants. Quasi-experiment is when individuals who are involved in the research are…

report the main points in the article “How to Avoid Statistical Traps”. I will explain why it is a necessity to use more than one statistical report for an assessment to be accurate concerning research methods within the educational system. Furthermore, I will also illustrate why this article was not surprising due to the clarifications provided by Gerald W. Bracey concerning research methods. Gerald W. Bracey, in the article “How to Avoid Statistical Traps”, explains why researchers should be…

Springdale General Attitude Survey Surveys are conducted to collect data for companies and corporations. This data can then be analyzed to understand how it ranks with the customers that shop in its stores. They are also conducted to help find the pros and cons that shoppers endure while shopping. In fact, Economics & Statistics Administration (2015) stated that “about 3.5 million households are sampled every year for the American Community Survey, and it takes respondents a total of about 2.4…

While this argument seems convincing at first glance, there are critical flaws that raise doubt about the conclusion. The writer uses an illogical line of reasoning in order to achieve a goal, uttered in their recommendation, which is the complete banning of the skateboarding activity in Central Plaza. The next paragraphs are to refute the writer’s recommendation by asking several unanswered questions in the paragraph. Firstly, the writer states that in the last two years the number of shoppers…

Survey assessment: The survey part of the experiment produced mostly quantitative data. After analyzing the results of the survey, a few interesting findings to support the hypothesis were found, as well as a few that did not necessarily support it. When asked directly, consumers’ answers overwhelmingly supported the original hypothesis. Displayed advertising for healthy food seemed to have a substantial effect on consumers, due to the large sector of survey respondents who claimed to notice…

Conducting more calculation on the survey, the researchers organized food items frequency and the mean data using the Excel 2003 software. Distinguishing the participants into different groups, their heights and weights were evaluated using standard protocol use to calculate the Body Mass…
