¶ … reach significance, one can conclude from the analysis that there is no correlation between GRE and GPAs at the end of the graduate program for electrical engineering in the Ivy League university between 2000 and 2013. In other words, when one variable changes, it does not reflect in the change of the other variable in a linear way (Lecture 5 Notes, n.d., p. 1). For significance to be shown, it would have to be seen that the variables' values were statistically correlated in a manner that could be "represented in a linear equation" (Lecture 5 Notes, n.d., p. 1).
No consistency in change signifies that there is no correlation. Thus, if one's GPA is 3.5, a reasonable guess cannot be made regarding what that individual's GRE score would be. Or if one's GRE score at the start of the program is x, one cannot make a reasonable guess as to what that person's GPA would be at the end of the program. The GRE, as indicated by the data, is not a strong indicator of GPA.
While correlations "are never perfect" one should still expect correlating variables to allow for accurate predictions (Lecture 5 Notes, n.d., p. 1). Variables do not necessarily have to move in the same direction (positive correlation)...
Relationship of Information Technology to Organizational Performance Enterprises have continually invested in information technologies (IT) to gain competitive advantages by improving their business processes, integrating and aggregating diverse databases, and then transforming the data into a competitive advantage. The paradox of how to invest in IT for an optimal return however has been elusive (Brynjolfsson, Hitt, 1998). Traditional measures of Return on investment (ROI), metrics and key performance Indicators (KPIs) have
(Broderick & Blewitt). Aside from the major issue, at least for the parents, of Jason's reserved social demeanor; there have been several other indicators of acting our behavior that he has presented. On several occasions Jason has complained of stomachaches and headaches prior to having to go to day care or even to any other playtimes where he knows his parents will not be attending. Also, if he has felt
Some of those are as follows: 1) Affect the environment; 2) Either save or expend energy; 3) Economically feasible or expensive to maintain, heat and cool. 4) Affect student learning; 5) Affect the health of students and teachers alike and 6) Affect the retention of teachers. (Olson and Carney, 2004) Criteria involved in the design, operation and maintenance of these 'sustainable' buildings are those as follows: Sustainable site planning and landscaping design that decrease the use
To critically investigate the current state of international business relationship development literature. 2. To explore the characteristics that determines sustainable international business relationships within the Libyan business context-from the Libyan point-of-view. 3. To present a model based on the findings from the two objectives above. This model will serve two main functions: (I). It will help fill in gaps in the current literature relating to the development and maintenance of business
Part 1 Variable A: Number of school lunch eligible students in the school Variable B: Amount of funding received by the school for federal and state education-related programs Correlation: Positive Correlation Reason: The higher the number of school lunch eligible students, the higher the rate of subsidy Variable A: Impact of subsidy received Variable B: Age of students at school Correlation: Negative correlation Reason: The subsidy had a greater degree of response in elementary schools than it did
The questionnaires for the purpose of this particular study were completed by 179 participants. The gender preference breakdown of the participants included 60 lesbians, 45 heterosexual females, 39 heterosexual males and 37 gay males (Harkless, Blaine, 2005). When the study was completed and the data went through analysis it was found that gay men and lesbian women reported a higher degree of post relationship involvement with their former partners than heterosexual
