1. Identify and discuss three key performance measurement lessons top management should learn and understand from Baker’s engine and transmission example. First of all‚ we can learn from this example is that manager cannot think the performance of whole is simple sum of the performance of each of the parts considered separately. One plus one is not makes two. One plus one is greater than two in Baker’s concept. Executives should view the system as a dynamic process. The each unit and individuals

The Vitruvian Man Purpose: The purpose of this investigation is to measure the arm span‚ in centimetres‚ and the height‚ in centimetres‚ of Grade 11 IB Biology students and determine if there is a significant difference in the means of the two measurements. Hypothesis: IF the arm span and height of Grade 11 IB Biology students are measured and the means compared‚ THEN the mean of the arm spans will be the same as the mean of the heights. This is expected BECAUSE in Leonardo da Vinci’s famous drawing

We were given some wires which were fixed on ceiling of lab on one end and other end had vernier caliper like measurement device. My controlled variable was the diameter of Wire‚ Length of wire and acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 ms-2) and independent variable was the load that can be applied to the string‚ which were given in the form of 0.5 kg blocks and had

What is Bootstrapping (In Statistics)? Bootstrapping is an interesting process or technique of assigning measure of accuracy. Depended upon calculation‚ Bootstrapping can be used to any statistic to measure estimation. Definition According to the Cambridge dictionary of statistics – “A confidence interval is a range of values‚ calculated from the sample observations that are believed‚ with a particular probability‚ to contain the true parameter value. A 95% confidence interval‚ for example‚ implies

should be reliable because you would think that teachers thought carefully about the assessment before giving it to their students. Describe several causes of measurement error and how such error may lead to improper interpretations of students’ assessment results. Errors are the different factors that causes that usually prevents a measurement to be reliable. One of these errors is an administration error in which the test was not administered properly or the students did not get the correct amount

variations observed between two populations of threespine stickleback‚ in order to gain a better understanding of natural selection and evolution. Measurements were taken of the number of scutes‚ ventral length and standard length in Population A. Population B data was provided by instructor. Four null hypotheses were formed on each of the measurements taken‚ the last hypothesis being no difference between populations. Data was collected from classmates and then compiled together into an excel spreadsheet

Laboratory Techniques and Measurements (adapted from Labpaq Version 09.1.06 by Peter Jeschofnig‚ Ph.D.) Experiment Summary You will have the opportunity to learn how to conduct measurements in mass‚ volume‚ and density using scales and common laboratory equipment. Review the safety materials and wear goggles when working with chemicals. Read the entire exercise before you begin. Take time to organize the materials you will need and set aside a safe workspace in which to complete the exercise

of free fall? We will see how valid this extrapolation can be. Rather than measuring time‚ as Galileo did‚ you will use a Motion Detector to determine the acceleration. You will make quantitative measurements of the motion of a cart rolling down inclines of various small angles. From these measurements‚ you should be able to decide for yourself whether an extrapolation to large angles is valid.
