So, t will be our test statistic. In our case, the computed value of t is .341, which is well within the zone of acceptance. So we can accept the hypothesis that μ = 7. The Independent Samples t-Test can only associate the means for two (and only two) groups. It cannot make comparisons…
RAID level 5 works with any number of disk equal or greater than 3 and places a parity sum on one disks in the set to be able to recover from a disk failure. (Striped blocks with distributed parity.) The parity calculations are done in a RAID 5 set using XOR. We assume a small RAID 5 set of four disks and some data is written to it. On the first three disks we have the binary information 1010, 1100 and 0011, here representing some data, and now calculate the parity information for the…
Dangers of cell-phone use while driving are exhibited in this article. Furthermore, participants completed three driving conditions; driving while conversing, driving while talking on a hands-free device, and driving while the other partner could see a video of both the road and the drivers face. Testing was also done to see if visual information increased awareness and reduced the negative effects accompanied by cell-phone distraction. The authors sufficiently review other research based on…
The purpose of this study is to measure the differences between age in relation to risk-taking/impulsiveness and reaction time. The reason being, we are interested in figuring out whether or not younger adults are more prone to risk-taking and impulsiveness than the older adults are. Risk taking is an important form of human behavior that has been the subject of numerous investigations, scholarly analyses, and policy debates (Byrnes, 1998; Slovic, Lichtenstein, & Fischhoff, 1998). Risk-taking…
Multicollinearity Multicollinearity is one of the common problems in spatial regression analysis. Sometimes some or all of the explanatory variable are highly correlated in the sample data, which means that it is difficult to tell which of them is influencing the dependent variable (Barrow, 2009, p. 306). Hence, to check whether the independent variables are correlated with each other, a correlation matrix for the three indicators was measured using excel. The correlation matrix in table 2…
THP-1 cells and THP-1 cell culture methodology were also provided by Ondek Pty Ltd. THP-1 cells were cultured in RPMI-10 culture medium. The first THP-1 cell culture was made by Dr Senta Walton, with a starting concentration of 2 x 105 cells/mL. The cell culture was then incubated at 37°C with 5% CO2 and subcultured every 2-3 days, when the cell concentration reached approximately 8 x 105 cells/mL. THP-1 cell based assay THP-1 cell based assay was performed to determine the immune modulatory…
Computer exercise one and two Nominal level data was identified based on the parameters that it is mutually exclusive and exhaustive. It cannot be ranked but it maybe assigned a number such as one or two for classification purposes Burns, Grove, Gray (2013), Using the bladder study provided in SPSS, nominal level data were identified as, education level, ethnicity, zip code and marital status. Two modes were identified from the nominal level data. For ethnicity the mode was African American (n…
The problem this study is addressing is that in the physics classroom of a suburban high school, the teacher has access to enough laptop computers for every student to be able to use one, but does not use them because he does not know how to incorporate them into instruction or if they will be helpful in increasing learning. The purpose of this study is to find out if incorporating the laptops in a one to one computer based instruction will increase student achievement and motivation. The…
PICOT For nurses at the Clinica Las Mercedes caring for adult Hispanic diabetic patients does the implementation of the Chronic Care Model (CCM) with Diabetic Self-management Education (DSME) program lead to improved diabetes management and self-care knowledge in eight weeks? 1. Sample The study will be conducted in a major primary care facility, which is chosen based on convenience. All the registered nurses in the hospital’s medical and surgical wards comprise the target population. The study…
Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…
