The Effects of Social Comparison on Life Satisfaction Abstract The study was carried out to explore the effects of social comparison on life satisfaction. Although the results were not statistically significant enough to prove that downward social comparison led to higher life satisfaction than upward social comparison‚ a second study was proposed to make amendments to the limitations of the first study. Some amendments include increasing the effect of the manipulation

where the falling of bottles is produced. The simulation was used to evaluate different scenarios where the worker allocation gets the best impact in terms of reduction of failures‚ which results in a higher rate of production. The paper presents a statistical analysis to validate the simulation model as well as the use of Bonferroni’s [1] approach to compare several scenarios. The main conclusion is that by reducing the failures in the washing process area significant increase of the production is obtained

3b. Chi squared analysis A chi-square test is also referred to X². It is a statistical test that is used to find a significant difference between the observed data to the expected data in one or more groups. To calculate a chi square you have to carry out the equation‚ X^2= ∑▒(O-E)"²" ÷E. Hₒ = this means that statistically there is no change between the observed and the expected frequencies of the results. Hₐ = this means that there is a significant change between the observed and the expected

Final Project Research to figure out the most cost-effective way of acquiring textbooks 1. Executive Summary The purpose of our research is to figure out the various ways of acquiring a textbook for the University of Cincinnati students. We want to help students minimize the cost of textbooks by helping them compare different options. We also want to find out what are the different options of selling the book afterwards. Our goal is to help students stay cost efficient but also find out
