According to the Holmes and Rahe stress inventory test‚ I’m under the “no significance level” category. I scored an eighty-seven with only three out of the thirty questions checked off as ‘yes’. Stress is a huge factor‚ in the long term‚ with health issues known as diabetes‚ depression‚ heart problems‚ anxiety etc. On my mom’s side of the family I have relatives suffer from heart problems and on my father’s side they suffer from diabetes. I hear and see the struggles they face on the daily basis

Elements of a Test of Hypothesis 1. Null Hypothesis (H0 ) - A statement about the values of population parameters which we accept until proven false. 2. Alternative or Research Hypothesis (Ha )- A statement that contradicts the null hypothesis. It represents researcher’s claim about the population parameters. This will be accepted only when data provides sufficient evidence to establish its truth. 3. Test Statistic - A sample statistic (often a formula) that is used to decide whether to reject H0

EQT 271 Engineering Statistics 2.2.2 Linear regression and correlation In linear regression‚ you should follows those instructions: 1. Choose one pair variables‚ first create the scatterplot (using Excel). Do this by simply plotting one variable as the x –axis and the other y-axis. Based on the scatterplot‚ comment on the relationship after fitting a simple curve‚ so you can be creative in pairing the variables. 2. Find the linear regression model by computing either manually or using Excel

A statistical test is a formal technique‚ for arriving at a decision about the reasonableness of a hypothesis‚ based on some probability distribution. The test technique uses the values obtained from sample data to arrive at a probability statement about the hypothesis. But it also uses some assertions about the population from which the sample is drawn. Some of the important assumptions are like: Population is normally distributed Sample drawn is a random sample But in case of Non-parametric

Aggregation: Determine the lowest level at which observations are independent and then average scores of both the causal and outcome measures at that level. For instance‚ if children are nested in classrooms‚ which are nested in schools‚ make school the unit of analysis. Child is the lowest level and school is the highest level. If there are no school or classroom effect‚ then child would be the unit of analysis. If there were no school effects‚ but there were classroom effects‚ then classroom
