Description (*due Wednesday at 11pm) To prepare for this Discussion: Review the reading materials about the different approaches in this week’s Learning Resources. Conduct your own literature search to find a published study that represents one of the Week 3 approaches. Remember, you may have to broaden your search terms to find an appropriate study. Review the documents linked in the Resources section above before proceeding with your own article review. BY DAY 3 Contribute a 3-paragraph Discussion post in which you respond to the following: Summarize the characteristics of the approach of the research article you chose during your literature search. Summarize the research article, including the citation and sufficient information for your classmates and Instructor to locate the article. Present a short critique of that article based on the “R8360 Guidelines for Reading and Evaluating Qualitative Research Articles” document.
Description (see word doc for week 1 and 2) In most weeks of the course, you will be asked to participate in an ongoing journaling activity, which is designed to allow you some insight into the process of collecting qualitative data via a journal. Last week’s entry was in video format. For this week’s Journal entry, you will use text (and optionally photos, drawings, etc.) to consider and respond to three prompts. In your response, be sure to address all three of the following prompts: Progress: What have you discovered about the development of your research topic and research problem? Discuss the link from your prospectus to the research problem that you will be working on in this course. Alternately, if you are changing topics, describe how and why you’ve changed topics. Problems: What obstacles or challenges do you see in evolving your research question? Is it a question of doing more research and reading? Do you need to get more familiar with qualitative studies in your topic area? Plans: Look toward the next week. What are your next steps for evolving your research question and choosing the approach to use for your Final Project in this course?
Description Discussion Question 1 How can a quantitative subject like statistics help us to understand the Creator and His Creation? Discussion Question 2 Prompt: Define variability and explain why it is an important concept in statistics. What are the three measures of variability? Which is the most commonly reported? Search “standard deviation” in Google News and report how it is used in the article. Requirements: Essay format;300 words Statistics for People Who (Think They) Hate Statistics: Using Microsoft Excel By Salkind, Neil J.Edition : 5TH 22 Publisher : SAGE ISBN 13 : 9781071803882
Description At the start of the project, you documented your typical responses along with your question formulations. You did not know it at the time, but you were hypothesizing about the future survey results. Now that you have the actual survey data, you can go back and apply the tools of inferential statistics to test your hypotheses. Assignment Overview and Preparation For this assignment, you will: Calculate an appropriate 95% confidence interval for each question. Perform an appropriate, one-sample hypothesis test for each question. Based on the context of your questions, you may choose to set up your hypothesis test as a one-sided test or two-sided test. Remember, we want to estimate population proportions in questions 1–4 and population means in questions 5–6 (from Week 7). We already calculated the sample statistics for each question in Week 7. Feel free to use this prior work to help complete the above tasks. That is, we already have sample proportions for questions 1–4 as well as sample means and standard deviations for questions 5–6. Use the Analyzing Data With Inferential Statistics Template [XLSX]. The template has two pages. Be sure to review each one carefully. The first page is the blank template that you will complete, and the second page is a completed example. Almost every type of situation is shown, so try to model your results after the ones shown. Make sure you have watched the Week 9 Project Video. https://media.capella.edu/coursemedia/mat2001eleme...Your instructor will walk you through the process for completing this assignment. Instructions Complete the following in order to apply the tools of inferential statistics to test your hypotheses: Open and complete the Excel Analyzing Data With Inferential Statistics Template [XLSX]. Calculate a 95% confidence interval for each of your survey questions (1–6). Your final product should have six confidence intervals. Perform a hypothesis test for each survey question (1–6). Your final product should have six hypothesis tests. When you have completed this assignment, submit it to your instructor in the Analyzing Data Using Inferential Statistics assignment area. Before submitting it, refer to the Analyzing the Data Set Using Inferential Statistics rubric to ensure that it meets the grading criteria.
Description Answer the following questions based on the hip surgery binary results document attached within based on the analysis: What are the p values for each surgeon? Using the alpha level of .05, which surgeon’s value was significant? Describe the results in your own words. Answer the research question. What does this mean for the organization?
Description Requiring solutions to two excel worksheets: Question 1: question is in the ''Question_1'' attached image, solve as required in the instructions file, also, a similar solution is provided if needed. Question 2: solve as required in the instructions file, solve using the ''Question_2'' excel file.
Description For question #1, you need to use an Excel formula for this calculation. Please refer to the live classroom on what to use. We don't use tables in this course. #2 is incorrect. Again, make sure you are using the Excel formulas. #3 is a perfect example of how you should set up the problems. It looks great. :) For #4, you need to explain where the student went wrong with their setup. For #5, include what the input represents. So, "=norm.s.dist(____)". What variable goes in the parentheses? Make sure to explain. Also, include an explanation on why you subtracted from 1. #6 is incorrect. This is what the student did incorrectly. State what the student did wrong and then correct it in the cells.
Description Qualitative Research Journal For this week’s Journal entry, consider and respond to all three of the following prompts: Progress: What has been happening in the course since the previous entry? Problems: What obstacles/challenges have you faced with regard to the course and with regard to developing your research question and approach for your Final Project? Plans: Look toward the next week. What challenges are you considering to resolve? Consider how your idea for your research project is evolving
Description Discussion Question 1 Prompt: What is the purpose of a scatterplot? Why will you rarely find a perfect correlation between any two variables? Search “scatterplot” in Google News and report how it is used in the article. Discussion Question 2 Prompt: Why can we not know the true score for a test? Explain the formula for understanding observed scores. What is included in any observed score? How do reliability and validity work together?
Description Central Tendency & Variability For your main post, gather some data (N of 20 or more) You have two options for data: Option 1: Revisit the data you used in the last discussion - but only if you had an N of 20+ and an interval level of measurement for that variable! Option 2: Pull some new data from the student survey for one variable that is at the interval level of measurement. Then, with the data you have collected: Calculate all measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, sd) for your variable, Post your results (use the name of your variable as the subject of your post). Use the Table icon (looks like a grid) to make a table in which to show your calculations more organized and clear. To include the formula and numbers you used, you can type them in as best you can or you can get fancy with the "Math Equation" icon (looks like the square-root symbol). (See resources below.) For your comment posts: Post at least two comments on someone else's data - interpret what they calculated, discuss the patterns of central tendency and variability for their variable... Have fun with this - don't overthink the interpretation... Practice what we're learning in class... Just put into words what it means to get the mean, median, mode, range, and sd (separate sentences for each) and overall what they tell you (Central tendency: what do they mean? Are they all the same? different? How different? Is there skew? Which statistic is best for central tendency? Variability: what do they mean? Which statistic is best for variability?)
