77). The following instruments were used in this study: EFI and SSTAEI as pretest measures, Beck Depression Inventory II (BDI-II), Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and the Vulnerability to drug use scale (Lin et al., 2004). Sample questions from each testing instrument were not provided in the study for review. However, treatment parameters were well explained with 12 individual treatment sessions lasting 1 hour each over a period of 6 weeks (Lin et al., 2004). Multiple methods of data collection were used with (3) self-report measures, (1) self-report questionnaire, (1) rating scale, and (1) 5-point Likert scale (Lin et al., 2004).
This is a measure of how close together the data is. C. 2nd Individual Variable The hospital satisfaction has no specific variable because it is not a number and therefore cannot be calculated by numbers. D. 3rd Individual Variable Diabetes Pretest • Mean – 50.25 • Median - 9 • Variance – 331.99 • Standard deviation – 18.22 E. 4th Individual Variable Diabetes Posttest • Mean – 52.92 • Median - 14 • Variance – 534.02 • Standard deviation – 23.11 F. 5th Individual Variable Glucose • Mean – 111.38 • Median - 53 • Variance – 1893.42 • Standard deviation – 43.51 G. 1st Paring of Variables What this shows is that that higher diabetes pretest the longer they stayed at the hospital. H. 2nd Paring of Variables What this shows is that that higher diabetes posttest the longer they stayed at the
Which t-ratio listed in Table 3 represents the smallest relative difference between the pretest and 3 months? Is this t ratio statistically significant? What does this result mean? Total health behavior at -3.02 is the smallest t ratio that is statistically significant. The smallest relative difference that is not statistically significant is stress management at -0.63.
c. No effect on the current ratio. d. Not sufficient information to determine effect on the current
Because their AGI was over $43,000, Tim and Martha are entitled to a credit equal to 20% of their expenses, or $840. ($4,200 x .20 = $840) If the couple had AGI of $36,000 earned only by Tim, the credit would be zero because there would be no child care expenses. Because Martha was not employed, no credit is allowed. Expenses which are allowed are limited to the smaller of the earned income of the taxpayer or the taxpayers spouse. Therefor Martha had zero income no credit is allowed.
Ans: The experimental groups mean posttest depression scores (mean 13.36) was 0.64 points lower than its baseline mean score (mean 14.00). This was not an expected finding because it was not hypothesized that after the completion of the empowerment program, the experimental group’s depression skills would not improve. This finding indicates that the empowerment intervention has a negative impact on the depression of ESRD patients. 4. Compare the mean baseline and posttest depression scores of the control group.
• They did not identify, and manage, risks relating to the health, welfare and safety of patients. • They had not responded to or considered complaints and views of people about the service. • Investigations into the conduct of staff were not robust and had not safeguarded people. • They did not take reasonable steps to identify the possibility of abuse and prevent it before it occurred. • They did not respond appropriately to allegations of abuse.
Instead of being written in an essay format as Pyrczak (2008) suggests, the two paragraphs contain information regarding the statistical findings. Following the group of statistics, the results section yielded a great portion of a case study which is irrelevant to the results of the study. Additionally, Lin et al. (2004) never referred back to the research hypothesis, purpose, or original questions in the beginning of the article. Overall, the presentation of the results were poor.
32. a. Thomas is not eligible for the earned income credit because he does not have a qualifying child and is not between the ages of 25 and 64. b. Shannon is eligible for the earned income credit because she has a qualifying child. As her earned income and AGI are below the income level where the earned income credit begins to phase out ($16,690 in 2011), Shannon will qualify for the maximum earned income credit. c. Keith and Susan are not eligible for the earned income credit because they do not have a qualifying child, and their income exceeds the disqualifying threshold for the credit that is available when there is not a qualifying child ($18,740 in 2011). d. Even though Colin does not have a qualifying child, he is eligible for
