CHI-SQUARE TEST (χ²): Chi-square is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis. For example‚ if‚ according to Mendel’s laws‚ you expected 10 of 20 offspring from a cross to be male and the actual observed number was 8 males‚ then you might want to know about the "goodness to fit" between the observed and expected. Were the deviations (differences between observed and expected) the result of chance‚ or were they

several experiments to make sure their results are not a fluke. The researcher must make sure their results can be replicated. Before conducting the study‚ I would gather information about the prior reading program that is set in place. I would want statistical information as well as teacher feedback before I could make a formal hypothesis. Before implementing the new E-Z read program‚ I would randomly assign each student to either Mrs. Brown’s or Miss Jones’s class. This will give each student an equal

Introduction Lateral epicondylosis (LE) is a musculoskeletal condition that causes elbow dysfunction to the soft tissue surrounding the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The aetiology of this condition is still unclear‚ however it is assumed to occur from over-stretching or excessive use of extensor muscles.1 Diagnosis is often based on the patients history and physical signs such as‚ pain radiating over the outer compartment and down the posterior arm where the extensor muscles (extensor carpi

Winthrop University’s Successional Plot’s Soil P.H. Meredith Hamilton Biology- Westover September 30‚ 2011 Abstract The question of this study pertained to the amount of vegetation that was occurring on each of the succession plot’s ground floor. There are three successional plots in Winthrop University’s wooded areas‚ the oldest was created in 1989 the second was created in 1994 and the youngest plot was created in 1999. For the hypothesis to be tested‚ there were soil PH meters to

The reason of the lack of support for the hypothesis might be the small sample size‚ which limited the statistical power of the tests. Despite not finding a significant relationship between openness and linear component of performance growth2‚ they found that openness was significantly
