Tanglewood Case 4 1. Tanglewood currently uses previous experience in the fields of education, work experience, and interview score to predict citizenship, absence, and promotion potential. Out of these predictors, education had the best correlation at .14 and a p-value < .01. Education is seen as statistically significant but not practically significant. Work experience was a decent predictor of performance and promotion potential.
The relationship between Hamstring strength index 60 degree/s and the Shuttle run test is a negative relationship due to r moves away from zero in negative direction and r = −0.149, the strength of this negative relationships would be weak with r -0.5 r=-0.528**, is more significant since p =0.002< 0.01, where r = −0.498** is significant at p =0.004< 0.01. The smaller the p-value in a test of hypothesis the more significant the results are. 8. The researchers stated that the study showed a positive, significant correlation between Quadriceps strength indices and pre- and postoperative functional stability Considering the data presented in the Table 5, do you agree with their statement? Provide a rationale for your answer.
As shown in the fit put charts the S&P500 and GXP returns can be proven to be positively correlated by looking at the line of best fit with the data shown. The standard error is low as well being at 2.92%. The intercept or alpha in this regression is .0001809 which is not significantly different from zero. The t value is 15.56 which is greater than the t stat for a 5% significance level and the p value is less than .0001 which is the
As a result, high procrastinators who was in spot test group was significantly higher achievement test scores on the final exam than other procrastinators in other groups. The hupotheses most likely support the numbers that Tuckman resulted in his
2) The plaintiff was qualified for the position at the issue of these proceedings. Ms. Zippittelli was qualified for the position which was proven. Ms. Zippittelli was currently serving as a lead clerk in the call service center just as the other eligible applicants for this job position. She was also interviewed along with the other three applicants. As pointed out in the case she was more qualified than the chosen applicant due on the bases that the plaintiff had “better performance evaluations and that the younger worker actually supposedly determinative of eligibility for promotion, like attendance” (Twomey, 2010, pg.
Among these segments, Professional-Tradesmen segment has the largest growing potential according to the statistical data. Problem Definition Black & Decker (B&D) is one of the world’s most popular power tools brand which is known for its superior quality of the products. B&D has captured 45% and 20% market shares in Consumers and Professional-Industrial segment respectively. However, it only has 9% market share in Professional-Tradesmen segment. On the other hand, B&D’s major competitors, Milwaukee Electric and Makita (market leader) have better performance in this segment: 10% market share for Milwaukee and 50% market share for Makita.
How about the influence of the teacher? Suppose it just so happened that the teacher in the small class is much better than the teacher in the large class and this is the reason why the students in the smaller class did well. The 'type of teacher' becomes an intervening variable because it was an important factor that was not initially considered by the researcher. Suppose that there were two different types of books used or two different types of curricula used? Suppose it just so happens that the students in the small class happen to be smarter than those in the large class?
‘How do we account for low educational attainment among some ethnic minorities?’ Intro Functionalists believe the institution of education is harmonious, and aids a well-functioning society (Haralambos, et al., 2013, p. 665); but can this really be the case, when there is such a prominent gap in achievement children of ethnic minorities? Low educational attainment amongst some ethnic minorities is a fact; statistically Gypsy/Roma children are most likely to leave education with less than five GCSE’s, with Black Caribbean/African students also consistently performing more poorly than their white counterparts (Haralambos, et al., 2013, p. 714). The reason as to why this is the case is less clear. Many sociologists have offered explanations; culture capital, cultural deprivation, labelling of pupils, institutionalized racism and a curriculum which ignores their ethnicity. Or is it the pupils themselves who hold the answer?
It shows a strong positive correlation with a number of variables including happiness and materialism. Studies prove that gender difference in life satisfaction exists. One study have cited that on average, males have lower levels of life satisfaction than females (Powdthavee, 2007). However, the results of another research about the
Academic success is important because it is strongly linked to the positive outcomes we value for children. Not surprisingly, research shows that adults with high levels of education are more likely to be employed, and to earn higher salaries (National Center for Education Statistics, 2001; U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, 1999). Beyond work and wages, academic success is important because working Americans will need higher levels of education to tackle the technologically demanding occupations of the future (Brown, 1999; National Alliance of Business, Inc., 1998). Furthermore, the number of jobs requiring a college education is expected to grow more than twice as fast as those not requiring a college education over the next ten to twenty years (Fleetwood & Shelley, 2000; Rentner & Kober, 2001). Academically successful students will have more employment opportunities than those with less education.
