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. Factual surveys: used to collect descriptive information‚ i.e. the government census 2. Attitude surveys - i.e. an opinion poll - rather than attempting to gather descriptive

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

I. Introduction The Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FESI-I) is a brief geriatric diagnostic tool that is designed to measure a patient’s fear of falling during physical or social activities‚ inside or outside of the home‚ regardless if the activity is actually carried out or not. The tool is a 16-question survey‚ presenting situations that the older adult may develop a fear of falling in attempting to complete. The patient responds on a Likert scale of 1-4 (1 being the least concerned about

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

of each of these objects that can be measured by each of the four basic types of scales. There are relatively few pure interval scales found in business research. Almost all text discussions of this scale refer to the example of temperature scales. However‚ some attitude scales such as the Likert and Semantic Differential‚ are claimed to approach interval characteristics. In addition‚ approximate interval scales can be developed from paired comparisons and rank orders of objects. A. Store customers

MUSIC THEORY Intervals An interval is the distance between two notes. Intervals are always counted from the lower note to the higher one‚ with the lower note being counted as one. Intervals come in different qualities and size. If the notes are sounded successively‚ it is a melodic interval. If sounded simultaneously‚ then it is a harmonic interval. The smallest interval used in Western music is the half step. A visual representation of a half step would be the distance between a consecutive

weight hanger * slotted masses * vertical scale * stopwatch. Procedure Part I: Determination of k from Hooke’s Law 1. Suspend the spring from its support. 2. Hook the weight hanger from the bottom loop of the spring and determine the vertical scale reading of the bottom of the weight hanger. 3. Record this as the equilibrium position of the system. 4. Add 5 g to the weight hanger and again record the actual vertical scale reading. 5. Repeat this procedure for 10‚ 15
