The data collected will be ordinal, largely strongly agree, agree, disagree, strongly disagree type of answers. This is practical because we are trying to gauge not only whether the sentiment exists, but the intensity of the sentiment on the part of the consumer. The decision rule that will confirm or deny the hypothesis is the correlation of responses indicating fear of West Nile and responses indicating that this drives a purchase of longer-sleeved shirts. A statistically significant correlation must exist in order to prove the The two co-workers who disagree will need to both be happy with the decision. In this case, the respondents should indicate a level of concern about West Nile and a purchasing decision with greater intensity than "agree" in order to demonstrate intent. This is a more conservative approach, but the cost of action in this case is likely higher than the cost of inaction, so Ms Szekely should have to demonstrate clearly that her view is backed up by research in order to justify the additional expense and risk.
Memory Recall Author(s) First, Middle Initial (if applicable) and Last Name(s) in Starting with the Individual who Made the Biggest Contribution (not alphabetical) This study examines the difference that categorization makes in memory recall exercises. It uses students from Queens College in an experiment in which categorized words are read aloud to one group and random words read aloud to a second group. The groups are then scored according to how many
Nonparametric Analysis of Data Set The datasets consist of the following variables: • Sub_num • Gender • Major • Coffee, and • Num_cups. The datasets are used for the nonparametric analysis to investigate whether the choices of college majors are different between males and female's individuals. The analysis is carried out with the chi-square test and the document presents the output as follows: Gender * Major Cross-tabulation Count Major Total Gender Total Chi-Square Tests Value Df Asymp. Sig. (2-sided) Pearson Chi-Square Likelihood Ratio Linear-by-Linear Association N of Valid Cases The minimum
To investigate these, each explanatory variable can be used in isolation to determine their specific impact upon the crime rate. The research can be conducted by first conducting an investigation of existing literature and statistics to determine the likelihood of each variable. Values can then be assigned to each variable to indicate the greatest to least likelihood. Qualitative research can then be conducted regarding the greatest likelihood of each explanatory variable.
Crime -- Abstracts and Introduction Dependent variable: Crime Independent Variable: halting rising crime rate Control variable: government spending on law enforcement Tentative hypothesis: If government spending on law enforcement increases, then the overall rising crime rates could be halted. Rasinski (1989) studied the relationship between the effects of question wording/phrasing on public support for government spending. He points out that analysis of question phrasing studies around the General Social Survey expenses objects demonstrated constant phrasing
The findings presented by Snowden within his study Visual Attention to Color are extremely intriguing when one considers the history of research on M. stream/P stream activity and attentional guidance. As Snowden states in the Discussion section of his article, "the current finding appears to establish conditions under which a purely chromatic signal can automatically attract attention, and thus shows that color vision can play a vital role in the
In �See the Ball, Hit the Ball: Apparent Ball Size is Correlated with Batting Average,� Witt & Proffitt () examine the ways a batter�s perception of the ball�s size impacts batting average. The research question is whether recent positive performance in the sport has a bearing on ball size perception. In other words, when players have been hitting well, do they perceive the ball as being bigger and therefore easier
