STUDY FINDINGS Before comparing the group means‚ assumptions for the paired sample t-test were evaluated and no violations were noted. Results from the paired sample t-test revealed statistically significant differences (p <= .05) in student competency self-assessment between the pretest and the posttest‚ and the posttest and the retrospective test on all 19 competencies (Table 2). Cohen’s effect size values ranging from 0.51 to 2.30 suggested moderate or high practical significance. These findings

Sample Size Calculator Terms: Confidence Interval & Confidence Level The confidence interval (also called margin of error) is the plus-or-minus figure usually reported in newspaper or television opinion poll results. For example‚ if you use a confidence interval of 4 and 47% percent of your sample picks an answer you can be "sure" that if you had asked the question of the entire relevant population between 43% (47-4) and 51% (47+4) would have picked that answer. The confidence level tells you

things that is the subject of exploration. A census involves obtaining information‚ not from a sample‚ but rather from the entire population or universe. A sample (as opposed sampling) is a subset of the population/universe. For Marketing Research purposes‚ sampling usually involves people‚ not data or things. Sampling Plans are strategies and mechanics for selecting members of the sample from the population: 1. Define the population. It is usually limited based on some set of characteristics

Simple Random Sampling is done when every individual subject in the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample‚ without any bias (Explorable). For example‚ if a researcher wants to represent the population as a whole‚ they can pick random numbers or names out a hat or use a program to randomly choose names so the information is not biased. Stratified Sampling is performed by‚ dividing the population into at least two (or more) groups or sections‚ which share certain characteristics
