According to the 55-data collected with the result in a response rate of 100 percent‚ there are some respondents agree while the others disagree as will be discussed by being break down according to its variable. First construct is system usefulness. This variable consists of eight questions as shown in Table 3.1. Based on data in figure 3.1‚ the result on the first question shows that 6 out of 55 (11%) are feeling very satisfied with the ease of using this system‚ 10 out of 55 (18%) are satisfied

Precision and Accuracy in the Laboratory Precision – This is a word used to describe the quality; fact or condition of being exact and accurate.(1) Accuracy – This is a word to describe the quality or state of being correct or precise. (2) AIM: The aim of the practical is to assess the accuracy and precision of three types of pipette. Abstract: In this experiment‚ I am going to be assessing the accuracy of a 10ml graduated pipette‚ a 1ml blowout pipette and a Gilson P1000 automatic pipette. This

The Two-Point Threshold I. Introduction In the two-point threshold experiment it is obtained how close two distinct sharp point can be together for a person to feel two points instead of one. The value of the two-point threshold is the minimal distance at which the subject can feel two distinct points. The principle behind this experiment is the fact that mechanoreceptors are not distributed homogeneously in the skin of the human body. There are areas with a higher density and areas with a lower

Of the 30 bottles the mean‚ median‚ and standard deviation for the ounces in the bottles. A 95% confidence interval will be calculated as well. A hypothesis

The steps 1 to 5 denotes the forward propagation 1. First apply the inputs to the network and work out the output. This initial output could be anything‚ as the initial weights are random numbers. 2. Next work out the error for neuron B. This error is needed actually ErrorB = OutputB (1-OutputB)(TargetB-OutputB) (5.19) Output (1- Output) is necessary in the equation because of the Sigmoid Function (Target – Output) is needed if threshold activation function is used. 3. Change the weight

Pre-Lab Questions 1. What are the two main types of error? What effect can they have on results? The two types of errors are systematic error and random error. They can cause inaccuracy and uncertainty in values respectively. 2. How is uncertainty in a measurement different from or similar to how you have used the word uncertainty in other contexts?
