sometimes referred to as a Likert response scale (see Likert Scaling). Here‚ we see how we might ask an opinion question on a 1-to-5 bipolar scale (it’s called bipolar because there is a neutral point and the two ends of the scale are at opposite positions of the opinion): Another interval question uses an approach called the semantic differential. Here‚ an object is assessed by the respondent on a set of bipolar adjective pairs (using 5-point rating scale): Finally‚ we can also get at interval

The dimensions of a metallic cube made of steel and a metallic washer were measured using a vernier caliper while that of a marble made of glass and the same metal cube were measured using the micrometer caliper. The density and percentage error of each material were then computed using the values obtained. Guide Questions: 1.) Differentiate the vernier and micrometer scales? The Vernier caliper is an extremely

combination of inputs to minimize the cost of production Returns to scale- Refers to the degree by which output changes as a result of a given change in the quantity of all inputs used in production. If quantity of all inputs is increased by a given proportion‚ we have constant returns to scale‚ increasing returns to scale and decreasing returns to scale.

6. Questionnaires Questionnaires or social surveys are a method used to collect standardised data from large numbers of people -i.e. the same information is collected in the same way. They are used to collect data in a statistical form. In Data Collection in Context (1981)‚ Ackroyd and Hughes identify three types of survey: 1.

financial firms enabled by technological progress among other factors‚ banks have been expanding both the scale and scope of their operations‚ largely through consolidations. This merger wave coincides with extensive deregulation‚ which has removed restrictions on product offerings and interstate banking. These changes have motivated many studies. The estimation of bank productivity and returns to scale is of particular interest because of its broad practical applications and important policy implications

the attractiveness of an industry on a 5-point scale for several factors relating to each of the five forces in Porter’s (1980) model. (A 7-point or a 10-point scale would perhaps be even better in that it would allow finer discrimination between two businesses with different levels of attractiveness. But the 5-point scale is relatively much easier to use.) To help you in the ratings‚ the template provides the anchors at the two ends of the scale for each factor with examples of industries corresponding

The boldface numbers on the fixed scale are centimeters. The tick marks on the fixed scale between the boldface numbers are millimeters. There are ten tick marks on the sliding scale. The left-most tick mark on the sliding scale will let you read from the fixed scale the number of whole millimeters that
