method is a way for scientists and researchers to pursue and acquire knowledge. According to Wilson (1952) there are four steps in the scientific method: 1. Observe and describe the problem 2. Form a hypothesis to explain the problem 3. Use the hypothesis to determine if there are other problems that exist 4. Test the hypothesis The fourth step of the scientific method is where the experiments and tests take place. This is where the researcher and scientists must decide whether to

In Chapter 6‚ you were assigned to find interval estimates for a population mean and a population proportion. b) Is finding an interval estimate an example of inferential or descriptive statistics? Explain. It is an interval estimate is an example of inferential statistics‚ as an estimate of the value of the population parameter is made based on sample statistics. c) An interval estimate (23.8‚ 30.6) is determined for the mean age of NSCC students.

Title The ability to bring a change to our daily expenses (savings) through our food consumption Brief background of this topic : We are often pressured by the same mind boggling question‚ that is “What are we to consume for lunch/dinner daily?”. This often arises and in order to

Problems Chapter 7 1. A population of 1‚000 students spends an average of $10.50 a day on dinner. The standard deviation of the expenditure is $3. A simple random sample of 64 students is taken. a. What are the expected value‚ standard deviation‚ and shape of the sampling distribution of the sample mean? b. What is the probability that these 64 students will spend a combined total of more than $715.21? c. What is the probability that these 64 students will spend a combined

A researcher predicts that watching a film on institutionalization will change students’ attitudes about chronically mentally ill patients. The researcher randomly selects a class of 36 students‚ shows them the film‚ and gives them a questionnaire about their attitudes. The mean score on the questionnaire for these 36 students is 70. The score for a similar class of students who did not see the film is 75. The standard deviation is 12. Using the five steps of hypothesis testing and the 5% significance

STATISTICAl ANALYSIS In the evolution of any scientific discipline there is a period in which attempts are made to develop mathematical theories in order to account for and explain the observations generated by the phenomena with which the discipline is concerned. During this period‚ the qualitative and verbal theories are replaced‚ or supplemented‚ by quantitative and mathematical theories which express‚ in the form of some type of equation or equations‚ a postulated mechanism or model that can
