4.6 Model building for monthly temperature series According to Takele (2012), the process of model fitting involves data plotting, data transformation if necessary, identification of dependence order, estimation of parameter, diagnostic analysis and choosing appropriate model. In this section, a univariate SARIMA methodology is used to model maximum and minimum monthly temperatures of Nairobi. 4.7 Model Identification ACF and PACF plots are used in the identification of the values p, q, P and…

Quantitative risk analysis is the one which follows the Qualitative analysis, and gives a numerical priority rating to project risks (PMI, 2009). Based on the PMBOK (PMI, 2013) quantitative risk analysis “… is the process of numerically analyzing the effect of identified risks on overall project objectives (p. 333).” This is also a process for the PM and project team to get risk data to support making decisions, which can help to reduce project uncertainties (PMI, 2013, p. 333). Based on the…

Below is the “study guide” for the MidTerm Exam. Of the 100+ questions below – 65 of them are the MidTerm. No answers are provided in the study guide (since the whole idea is for you to” review and study” the material to prepare for the test). True or False Chapter 01 1. Much of managerial accounting is directed at gathering useful information about costs for planning and control decisions. 2. Direct materials are not usually easily traced to a product. 3. A variable cost…

indicators are used to form a superordinate construct where the individual indicators are weighted according to their relative importance in forming the construct (Chin, 1998). Moreover, the normality of data distribution not assumed, thus data with non-normal distributions can be conducted in structural equation modeling since its application is performed in a non parametric way. PLS is also recommended when either cross-sectional, survey, or quasi-experimental research designs are used; when a…

Pre-Lab Questions 1. A population is a group of the same species that live in the same area and sometimes compete or can mutually benefit one another. A group of organisms will only be considered a population if they live in the same area in space and time. N is the true population size for a given group of organisms. This number is unlikely to be completely known. Whereas N hat is an estimate of population size. 2. There are two methods of sampling, direct and indirect. Direct sampling is an…

Experiment 37: Friction Anne Smolinski as910513@ohio.edu Wednesday 11:50-1:40 TA: Sanjoy Sarkar November 11, 2017 Experiment 37: Technical Report ABSTRACT In experiment 37, the friction force is being explained and tested by using a block that is being pulled across a wooden base. Out of the four different types of friction, two will be tested during this experiment: (i) static and (ii) kinetic. Static friction can be defined as the force that resists motion of an object to a surface so…

A total of four hypotheses were examined using the following variables: feelings of tension and anxiety before and after watching a video in which a news story covered a student going to a college campus with the intent of harming people, perceived threat while watching the video, perceived threat while watching similar news coverages, the number of hours a day spent consuming news, and participant gender. First, to test the hypothesis that feelings of tension and anxiety will be higher after…

There are different types of parametric tests to determine if a statistically significant difference is present. An independent-samples t-test is used when comparing two groups on one continuous dependent variable that is normally distributed. A paired-samples t-test is used when you look at the differences of one group across two time periods or observation periods. ANOVA tests are used when we are examining more than two groups or more than two observation periods. Slide 3: Our null…

5. Normal muscle contraction occurs in a series of steps, and they are as follows: First, a motor neuron must have acetylcholine released in the synaptic cleft. The acetylcholine is then able to bind with receptors found in the cell membrane. This binding causes the Ca+/Na+ channels to open. The terminal cisternae then releases calcium into the muscle fiber. Calcium will begin to bind to troponin. The troponin moves tropomyosin out of the way since it blocks the actin’s active site. Next, actin…

This is Pluto he's not normal because he is a planet a lonely one because all of the other planets are having fun without him and sometimes they don't call him a planet and that makes him sad. So one year has passed its earth's birthday all of the planets went to his party but when Pluto got there Jupiter told Pluto that he did not belong here because he said only planets are allowed in the party. so a few hours have passed Pluto decided the go around in circles and then the moon saw Pluto the…
