Chi-Square Test Study
The focus of the research is to use the Chi-Square analysis to test whether the use of marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol. Over the years, there is high number of related deaths linked to alcohol in the United States, and comparably, there are no related deaths linked to the Marijuana use. A report from Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2013) reveals there is no category of marijuana related deaths. In California where marijuana use is legalized, there were over 9,000 alcohol related deaths between 2001 and 2005 and no record of marijuana related deaths recorded during the period.
Is the use of Marijuana less dangerous than alcohol in the United States?

The chi-square is chosen to the research question because it is appropriate to test the hypothesis. Typically, the chi-square is used to determine a significant difference between the observed frequencies and expected frequencies. The chi-square is appropriate for the research questions because it will be used to determine the difference between the expected frequency and observed frequencies of the respondents who agree that marijuana use is less dangerous than alcohol in the United States
Null and Alternative Hypotheses

Good researchers tend to pull methods out of a tool kit as they are needed" (2006, p. 54). Notwithstanding these criticisms and constraints, though, most social researchers seem to agree that classification by some type of research paradigm is a useful approach based on the need to determine which approach is best suited for a given research enterprise.

PubMed search terms used to initially identify a qualitative study were the following: nursing qualitative. A large number of citations were retrieved, but the selection was further limited by only those available as free full-text articles through PubMed Central.

These are questions dealing with attitude and are the most important questions when doing qualitative social science research to gauge relationships among events. In addition to construction questions about attitudes, it is important to have the questions drafted in the correct format (Nachmias, 2008). The Quantitative methodologies will be the statistical tests designed for the overall model to incorporate the information provided through one, two or all of the Qualitative
Hourly Nurse Rounds Critiquing Validity and Robustness of Research in Hourly Nurse Rounds There are different kinds of studies that are carried out in the nursing field to examine various issues in patient care. An understanding of these issues requires examining these studies to gain insights and inform practice. This paper evaluates two studies on the impact of hourly nurse rounds in lessening falls, pressure ulcers, and call light while increasing
