from the flu by use of nasal spray. This shows that the most effective vaccine for preventing flu is the shot. It therefore gives sufficient evidence to support the alternate hypothesis that there is an effective vaccine for preventing getting flu. A sample of 500 participants in both researches is appropriate for this study since provides a wide area of study to the researcher hence enabling him to obtain almost accurate results in his research. However‚ the study might have had certain limitations

The data was collected by interviewing employees of Multinational corporations and public sector undertakings with the help of structured questionnaire. All the scientific measures were taken to make the study of reliable and valid still‚ as the sample size was small it is possible that it may not represents that precise picture. However a more comprehensive approach requires that many additional factors be included before a complete understanding of job satisfaction can be attained. Such

water Method: A. Sample Preparation and Presentation 1. Prepare the Master Sheet. a. Assign random 3-digit codes. b. Since‚ there are only 2 coded samples per judge; toss a coin can decide which sample will be served first. 2. Prepare the Summary Sheet to serve as guide in presentation of samples. 3. Label saucers with the assigned sample codes. 4. Place each sample to properly labeled saucers. B. Sample Evaluation 1. Present both samples to each panelist.

Critical-Value Approach to Hypothesis Testing We often use inferential statistics to make decisions or judgments about the value of a parameter‚ such as a population mean. For example‚ we might need to decide whether the mean weight‚ μ‚ of all bags of pretzels packaged by a particular company differs from the advertised weight of 454 grams (g)‚ or we might want to determine whether the mean age‚ μ‚ of all cars in use has increased from the year 2000 mean of 9.0 years. One of the most commonly

production line needs to be repaired. The expected value of the number of movements it is to make in an hour would be the relevant variable‚ the actual values can be sampled‚ the information can then be used for the mean‚ the standard deviation and sample size will determine the probability of differences. If the probability is higher than the threshold that is set then action will need to be taken. References McClave‚ J. T.‚ Benson‚ P. G.‚ & Sincich‚ T. (2011). Statistics for business and economics
