discover the suitable ways of organizing experimental data in the form of tables and graphs by proficiently using Microsoft Excel. After being provided with a set of experimental data‚ a graph is then created. The graph contains useful information such as the slope‚ which could give the density value. The calculation of significant figures was one of the key objectives in this lab as well. Significant figures are essential to interpreting data because they allow for increased precision and accuracy

and trade. Until recently‚ such research has seen staunch counter-position of two research paradigms: quantitative and qualitative‚ the first deriving from positivism‚ the latter from interventionism. Indeed‚ the positions taken by individual researchers vary considerably between those like Bryman (1988) who argues for a “best of both worlds” approach by suggesting that qualitative and quantitative approaches be combined to those of scholars like Hughes (1997) whom counteracts by stating that such

Data collection is any process of preparing and collecting data‚ for example‚ as part of a process improvement or similar project. The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record‚ to make decisions about important issues‚ or to pass information on to others. Data are primarily collected to provide information regarding a specific topic. Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project‚ and is often formalized through a data collection plan which often

Analysis Toronto CMA has experienced a rapid growth in population during the past decades. The question is: will current ministry policies on planning cities suffice to keep the current standards of living if the growth in population continues with the same rate? Detailed analysis of the past profile of population growth is needed to answer this question. However‚ because of the rapid rate of population growth‚ ministry needs to change policies and set new plans to address housing‚ transportation

validity can occur in a two step process involving the developmental and the judgmental stages. There is not definitive objective methodology for determining the content validity. However‚ “content validity in the judgment stage is based on quantitative evidence” (Wilson‚ H.S. 1989). “To examine the content validity in judgment stage‚ professional subjective judgment is required to determine the extent to which the scale was designed to measure a trait of interest” (Nunnally‚ J.C. 1978). “Ghiselli
