Survey sampling

We compare the greyscale, the desaturation and the smart background methods with the original maps and with each other. For this end, we not only analyse in details the resulting visualization, but we also conduct a survey. We asked a panel of people with cartographic training to evaluate the extent to which each method improves the readability of the original map and then to pick the most appropriate one. The greyscale method renders the symbolisation less prominent and it is practical because…

The population used in this journal article is clearly described and involved the recruitment of registered nurses from a large academic medical center. Differences in fatigue levels have been demonstrated based on the RN’s years of experience (Barker and Nussbaum, 2011b). Nurses with more work experience may have a distinctive outlook and perspective on coping with fatigue versus a nurse with limited experience. Thus, RNs who were recruited involved nurses with less than two years of experience…

In the next step, the graded response IRT model will be analyzed again for each identified domain, but without the excluded items, and the model fit statistics will be assessed. If the model has a good fit statistics, the best item for each domain will be selected according to the distribution of the threshold values across the latent scale and the discrimination value; item that has threshold values cross the whole latent scale and high discrimination value will be selected. Sample Size Graded…

1. “When investigating a large population, it is often impractical and usually unnecessary to measure all the elements in the population of interest. Typically, a relatively small number of subject or cases is selected from the larger population.” (McMillian, 2012, p.96) According to McMillian (2012), population is a target you want to study to develop knowledge and to create action plans to assist those individuals. An example is when a researcher use a group of students with autism to find out…

The Beastie Boys were known for their unique lyrics and became the first successful, white rap group. The members gained loads of fame over the past three decades of music making. People were negatively inspired by listening to the strange lyrics in their earlier productions. The Beastie Boys had more of a positive impact on society than negative as they grew older and wiser. The first successful, white rap group formed in 1981 and shortly became popular on college radio stations and clubs. The…

on 1 What is the overall meaning of the poll? what does it show? describe the trend that is occurring. The overall meaning of the poll was to determine who voters would potentially support other than their already decided upon candidate. To explain, voters who had already made a clear distinction about which candidates they were likely to vote for, were asked, to reevaluate their decisions based on the information they gathered during the New Hampshire Republican and Democratic Presidential…

Sampling Strategy and Sample Size for a Quantitative Research Plan Introduction When a researcher is constructing a sampling method, the questions about the population where the sample will come from and the size of the sample to be used come into play for the purpose of seeking statistical validity (Frankfort-Nachmias & Nachmias, 2008). Parahoo (2014) explains that, in order for sampling method or strategy to be considered credible, defining the population to be sampled, type of sampling,…

A Quantitative Research Design Critique The research problem that I have selected in Unit 1 is pressure ulcers. There have been research and studies conducted in order to shed light on this problem. There are research studies that aim to prevent pressure ulcers from happening by implementing interventions. Aside from that, as healthcare professionals, we have to determine the validity of the study. This paper aims to review the research conducted by Bergstrom et al. (2013) in determining the…

As a teacher, I face the challenge of consistently providing students with relevant, instructive feedback to further their motivation and growth. Meaningful feedback such as this is an essential part of a successful classroom (Marzano, 2010). Teachers must also give students the tools to form a positive outlook towards learning with the hope that students will become lifelong learners. Motivation to learn can be a key component in this process of creating lifelong learners and individuals…
