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.
The percentage of people with ‘very strong’ identification with either of the two main parties was a low 13% in 2001. The decline in electoral turnout is therefore related to an increase in apathy and lower party identification levels, suggesting that electoral turnout alone is
Outline and evaluate psychological explanations of schizophrenia (24 marks) Brown and Birley studied stressful life events in the role of relapse in schizophrenics. They found that 50% of people experience a stressful life event e.g. death, relationship break-up, job loss etc. in the 3 weeks prior to a schizophrenic episode. A control sample reported a low and unchanging level of stressful life events over the same period.
The anaerobic group presented a 24 percent reduction whereas the control group presented a 20 percent reduction in their symptoms of depression. One must remember these percentages are approximate values. Decreases in depressive behavior were calculated on the mean results of the three groups, whilst assessing any inconsistencies within the responses as they were measured in accordance with the individual group’s standard deviation. It was determined by Balkin, Tietjen-Smith, Caldwell, and Shen (2007) that the aerobic group gained the largest benefit whereas the controlled group gained the least (Balkin, Tietjen-Smith, Caldwell, & Shen, 2007). Reliability and Validity All three groups used a standard deviation as the determining factor for reliability.
Statistic is percentage of drivers, 75%, having uncorrected vision problems in the sample of 460 drivers that were studied. The assumed parameter would be the population of drivers that had uncorrected vision that were 70 years old or older. 4. What type of sampling procedure was used to collect the data in the MM207 Student Data Set? Convenience sampling because this was a population that was readily available.
What is the approximate signal level of the noise floor? The 2.4 GHz band noise floor is -95db, and the 5GHz band noise floor is -100db. 3. Of the 11 channels being displayed which ones have the lowest noise floor? Of the 11 channels being displayed, channels 8-11 have the lowest noise floors.
Complete the frequency table with frequency and relative frequency. (5 pts) 3. What percentage of the checkout times was less than 3 minutes? (5 pts) 4. In what class interval must the median lie?
A chi-square test for the mean scores listed in Table 1 gives the results € ÷ 2=0.107, df = 5, and p < 0.005. This means that there is a greater than 99.5% likelihood that the deviations that occur among the six years can be attributed to chance9. Therefore, the chi-square statistical test implies that it is highly probable that the observed fluctuations among the six graduating classes are not unexpected and all six classes have similar quantitative abilities at the end of eighth grade. Between the eighth-to-tenth-grade experiences of the first three classes (graduating in 2000-2002) and the latter three classes (graduating in 2003-2005), the change from biology to physics was the only significant change in the curriculum or academic program. The average percentile performance of each class, during its sophomore year, on the quantitative portion of the PSAT is listed in Table 2.
Means, standard deviations, and frequencies will be reported for sample’s variables. For first hypothesis inferential data analyses will be used to test the correlation between independent variable ( coping cat program ) and dependent variable ( level of anxiety ) by using parametric test ( Regression Analyses ) to test whether children in the experimental condition will be showed a stronger decrease in anxiety symptoms at 3-months follow up compared to the control group. Inferential data analyses will be used to test second hypothesis (People who had not improved over the three month following the intervention when compared to those who had improved will have less improvement in seventy of anxiety symptoms from coping cat program) the test that will be used to compare between the mean of people who had improved and people who had not improved is parametric test (paired t – test). To test third hypothesis on a 5-point Likert scale, any item with a mean value above 3 will be considered as a factor that contributes positively to decrease anxiety level. Possible Limitation of
The juvenile arrest rate for each of these offenses has been declining steadily since the mid-1990s; for murder, the rate fell 70% and manslaughter arrest rate fell 40% from its 1993 peak through 2001. (Snyder, 2003) More specifically, “juveniles were involved in 10% of murder arrests, 14% of aggravated assault arrests, 31% of burglary arrests, 24% of robbery arrests, and 23% of weapons arrest in 2001” (Snyder, 2003). In addition, there were significant decreases in juvenile arrests for property crimes in 2001, which reached its lowest level since the 1960s and juvenile arrest rates for burglary declined 66% between 1980 and 2001.
