Z –Test: a statistical test used for inference (inference – is the act or process of deriving logical conclusions from evidence‚ statements‚ ideas‚ etc. known or assumed to be true) which determines if the difference between a sample mean and the population mean is large enough to be statistically significant‚ that is‚ if it is unlikely to have occurred by chance. The Z – test is used primarily with its standardized testing to determine if the test scores of a particular sample of test takers are

5 Ways Technology can be used Today’s Technologies Newer technologies have overcome some of the constraints of traditional arrangements. In addition to traditional interactions with classroom teachers‚ learners now have the possibility of gaining information from many other sources. For example‚ they may receive Web-based instruction from a teacher located hundreds of miles away from the learner. Although learners can continue to receive this instruction in a traditional classroom setting‚ it is

“A Single Spark Can Start a Fire” (Reaction Paper) I believe that we do not lack awareness. We just tend to continue living like hermit crabs that enclose themselves in their shells. But unlike these crustacean fellows‚ we do not use our shells for protection. We use them for avoidance. We do not want to get involved in the harsh truths that our environment is facing. We would rather isolate our senses from the reality regarding the present state of earth. Covering our ears‚ shutting our eyes

Relationship between a model and Similitude For a model‚ similitude is achieved when testing conditions are created such that the test results are applicable to the real design. There are some criteria that are required to achieve similitude; 1. Geometric similarity – The model is the same shape as the application (they are usually scaled). 2. Kinematic similarity – Fluid flow of both the model and real application must undergo similar time rates of change motions. (Fluid streamlines are similar)

for the companies to implement variable pay plan are: motivating employees and reducing cost. In this paper we try to point out the challenges the organizations might face when they apply variable pay system by reviewing related literature. We find that it is difficult for the company to have a reliable measure for the variable pay system. In addition‚ the focus of the variable pay plan should be on motivating employees or cutting cost and how to strike a balance between these two is also an essential

variance Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) is a generalized form of univariate analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is used when there are two or more dependent variables. It helps to answer : 1. do changes in the independent variable(s) have significant effects on the dependent variables; 2. what are the interactions among the dependent variables and 3. among the independent variables.[1] Where sums of squares appear in univariate analysis of variance‚ in multivariate analysis of variance

Causation and Correlation Mary Lee Choate PSY/285 Due April 6‚ 2012 Instructor- Chantell Hines When differentiating between causation and correlation‚ it is extremely significant in systematic thought. These two notions get confused with one another whether it is a misinterpretation or having the aspiration to provide a reasonable description for scientific observations. As a result‚ it is crucial to have the understanding of the difference between the two concepts. In this writing I will
