Methodology (Research Design or Methodology of the Study) This chapter contains the discussion of the research design‚ the locale of the study‚ the respondents of the study‚ research instruments and validation of instruments‚ research procedure and statistical treatment of the data used in the study. Research Design The descriptive method of research will be use in this study withthe questionnaire as the main tool in gathering the needed data. Also use to obtain information concerning the current

Case Problem 1: National Health Care Association(Descriptive Statistics) The National Health Care Association is concerned about the shortage of nurses the health care profession is projecting for the future. To learn the current degree of job satisfaction among nurses‚ the association has sponsored a study of hospital nurses throughout the country. As part of this study‚ a sample of 50 nurses was asked to indicate their degree of satisfaction in their work‚ their pay and their opportunities for

The topic of interest is how having two problems to solve affects the speed of the brain in carrying out these tasks‚ and this will be tested by testing reaction time‚ or mental chronometry. Hypothesis The hypothesis is that when the subject is experiencing discomfort they will be likely to take longer to catch the ruler. This is because‚ according to my background information‚ the brain will have fewer resources to put at its

Illustrations will show Wal-Mart’s problem of high turnover in statistical terms and list a set of recommendations to reduce employee turnover. Dependent and independent variables will be illustrated‚ the null and alternative hypothesis and the theories to support these hypotheses will be evaluated‚ primary and secondary data sources will be defined‚ how samples were selected and produced will be reviewed

How do the hypothesis and the experimental design relate to the problem? What are the theoretical implications of the study (how does this study relate to us as humans‚ or the study of psychology)‚ and how does the study relate to previous work in the area? What are the theoretical hypothesis tested‚ and how were

A comparison is made of the features available in selected software packages‚ and recommendations made for practitioners. As the author of the Lertap item and test analysis package (Nelson‚ 2000[1])‚ I attempt to respond to modification requests from users as time allows. Early in 2005‚ the director of a large-scale testing program wrote to ask if Lertap might

The assumption in this case that the mean salary of the population is 85‚000‚ is called the null hypothesis (H0). The alternative hypothesis (H1) is a claim to be

How can one observe that whether the expenditures are significantly higher or lower or different than a normal students’ expenditure by performing hypothesis test and confidence interval? From my experience‚ I see that if students can relate any technical materials with the practical problems‚ they can

Researchers routinely choose an ◊-level of 0.05 for testing their hypotheses. What are some experiments for which you might want a lower ◊-level (e.g.‚ 0.01)? What are some situations in which you might accept a higher level (e.g.‚ 0.1)? An alpha level of 0.05 is arbitrary and was set as a standard by scientists. One of the key concepts in hypothesis testing is that of significance level or‚ the alpha level‚ which specifies the probability level for the evidence to be an unreasonable estimate.
