The experiment tests whether conflict takes place between the automatic process of reading a word and the controlled process of naming the ink colour of the word by replicating a version of the Stroop effect. A sample of 20 volunteering participants‚ 10 men and 10 women‚ aged 18-69‚ took part in the experiment. Participants were given two conditions‚ one list with colour-related distractor words and one list with colour-neutral words. For each participant‚ time necessary to name the ink colour of

Postoperative ileus is a possibly deadly complication that occurs after many abdominal surgeries and operations. An ileus is where the bowels “fall asleep” after trauma and fail to “awaken” for quite some time following surgery. Postoperative ileus can affect patient nutrition‚ comfort and especially length of stay‚ which results in a major cost to insurance companies and hospitals. According to Chan and Law (2007)‚ the economic burden resulting from postoperative ileus is $7.5 billion per year in

Does children’s shoe sizes get bigger as they get older? Introduction: I will be doing an experiment to investigate whether it is true or not that children’s shoes sizes really increase as they get older. In order for me to prove this‚ I need to collect some data and to start with‚ I have to create a simple and short questionnaire and I will ask some of my friends and family who has children and could help me with this experiment by completing the questionnaire. My objective is to find out

Sample size The process of determining the proper sample size was established through a series of calculations and after obtaining all the possible sample sizes‚ the largest one was taken into consideration to collect the closest number to a representative sample of the population. The following two equations where used: Equation 1: N=z2 *(p.q) E2 N= sample size Z=level of confidence interval at 95% so z=1.96 P=estimated percent of population E=acceptable sample error expressed

Calculating Sample Size Types of Samples Subjective or Convenience Sample - Has some possibility of bias - Cannot usually say it is representative - Selection made by ease of collection Simple Random Sample - No subjective bias - Equal chance of selection; e.g.‚ select the fifth chart seen on every third day - Can usually be backed to say it is representative Systematic Sample - Is a random sample - Equal chance of selection due to methodology; e.g.‚ computer-generated list of

Determining Sample Size In the business world‚ sample sizes are determined prior to data collection to ensure that the confidence interval is narrow enough to be useful in making decisions. Determining the proper sample size is a complicated procedure‚ subject to the constraints of budget‚ time‚ and the amount of acceptable sampling error. If you want to estimate the mean dollar amount of the sales invoices‚ you must determine in advance how large a sampling error to allow in estimating the population

used in civil engineering) to assess the particle size distribution (also called gradation) of a granular material. The size distribution is often of critical importance to the way the material performs in use. A sieve analysis can be performed on any type of non-organic or organic granular materials including sands‚ crushed rock‚ clays‚ granite‚ feldspars‚ coal‚ soil‚ a wide range of manufactured powders‚ grain and seeds‚ down to a minimum size depending on the exact method. Being such a simple

can still wear men’s shoes‚ but the size they are accustomed to will be labeled differently in the men’s sizes. Although the shoe size is related to the length of your foot‚ the sizes do not follow a direct formula. Subtract 1 1/2 from your size‚ if you are a size 6. Therefore‚ your equivalent men’s size would be a 4 1/2. Above is a dot graph showing the female comparison if she was to convert to a male shoe by length. It is a difference in length by a size and a half. This decision by Nyke is
