    0.7 can‚ realistically‚ be expected because of the diversity of the constructs being measured. However‚ Cortina (1993) notes that such general guidelines need to be used with caution because the value of alpha depends on the number of items on the scale (see Field‚ 2005 for details). Alpha is also affected by reverse scored items. For example‚ in our SAQ from last week we had one item (question 3) that was phrased the opposite way around to all other items.

    beginning of his research with alpha particles to his discovery of the atomic nucleus‚ Rutherford made many contributions to the microscopic world of the atom. The Rutherford Experiment‚ otherwise known as the Gold Foil Experiment‚ was the crown of his achievements‚ and it was during this experiment that he discovered the atomic nucleus. (Aydin &Hanuscin‚ p.59) He made this happen by putting his past research on alpha particles to the test‚ such as the knowledge that an alpha particle should be less massive

    Alpha amylase is an enzyme that aids in the breakdown of starch and glycogen to form glucose and maltose through the hydrolyses of alpha linked polysaccharides1. Starch is a complex carbon and is the main energy storage material found in plants and some bacteria. It is a major component of food as it supplies plants with energy and carbon. Starch consists of two types of polysaccharides called amylose and amylopectin1.The properties of starch can depend on the number of alpha 1‚4 glycosidic bonds

    significance level which is also denoted as alpha. If the P-Value is lower than the alpha there is a statistically significant difference between groups and the null hypothesis is rejected for the alternative hypothesis. When the P-Value is higher than the alpha the difference between groups is not considered statistically significant and the null hypothesis is not rejected. The smaller the alpha the more stringent the test would be but normally alpha is set at 5%. Anytime you reject a hypothesis
