...Phoenix Recording's Research Report Kenneth Drake, Elizabeth Navarro, Olive Myers-Rose QNT/561 September 7, 2015 Heidi Carty, Ph. D. Phoenix Recording's Research Report Part 1: Formulating the Research Problem The Research Problem Phoenix Recording is a record label for various genres of music. The country music genre is fairly small and represents both male and female country artists. The Vice President noticed that the overall profits for the country artists are extremely low. He has decided to cut the production of music budget for one of the artist. The Vice President has hired an exterior team to provide viable information that would determine the reason for reducing any particular artist’s production budget. Part of the exterior team’s research will involve analyzing YouTube’s view rates for each artist’s hit song for the current year. The independent variable in the research is the gender of the artist and the dependent variable is the number of YouTube views. The team will take a random sample of male and female artists. The team realizes that the variables of male versus female country artists may give the record label an overall view for that genre of music videos being viewed. Research Question Is the difference in the number of YouTube views (DV) based on the gender of the artists (IV)? Hypotheses H0: The difference in YouTube views (DV) is not based on the gender of the artist (IV). H1: The difference in YouTube views...

The Researcher Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Security is essential for both residential property and commercial property in this day and age – and many people are turning to security guards. Security guards are not police, they work for private companies, usually to provide 24/7 protection of assets, and occasionally, people. They are able to focus their entire effort to this task, as they are not patrolling, checking drivers for various infractions or anything else that police do. Businesses would be wide open to criminal activity without security officers, because there would be little protection...

...PROMOTING BAD STATISTICS. Society | March 01, 2001 | Best, Joel In contemporary society, social problems must compete for attention. To the degree that one problem gains media coverage, moves to the top of politicians' agendas, or becomes the subject of public concern, others will be neglected. Advocates find it necessary to make compelling cases for the importance of particular social problems. They choose persuasive wording and point to disturbing examples, and they usually bolster their case with dramatic statistics. Statistics have a fetish-like power in contemporary discussions about social problems. We pride ourselves on rational policy making, and expertise and evidence guide our rationality Statistics become central to the process: numbers evoke science and precision; they seem to be nodules of truth, facts that distill the simple essence of apparently complex social processes. In a culture that treats facts and opinions as dichotomous terms, numbers signify truth--what we call "hard facts." In virtually every debate about social problems, statistics trump "mere opinion." Yet social problems statistics often involve dubious data. While critics occasionally call some number into question, it generally is not necessary for a statistic to be accurate--or even plausible--in order to achieve widespread acceptance. Advocates seeking to promote social problems often worry more about the processes by which policy makers, the press, and the public come to focus on particular...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study In any educational system there are three primary aspects of the learning-teaching process which are geared towards its end goal- that of growth and progress in knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes of the students. First, educational goals are established either implicitly or explicitly. Secondly, learning experiences are designed to carry out the attainment of the goals. Finally, an evaluation is conducted to determine the extent to which the objectives have been established. This evaluation aspect has become the focus of study in the educational field. Evaluation involves the summing-up processes in which value judgments play a large part, as in grading and promoting students. Most educators considered that a school’s main business is promoting growth towards desirable and societal objectives; fewer agree on who should judge the desirability of these objectives. However, since all schools focus on student progress as the ultimate criterion, it is important to evaluate the status and gains of students expertly. If our evaluation procedures are poor, then the quality of the information on which we make judgments can not be adequate. Measurement and evaluation are indispensable to the growth of scientific education. They encompass judgments made by teachers and administrators. An important phase of this educational process involves the construction, administration, and scoring of tests. Before it is possible...

The aim is to use a matrix of indicators, so that it can be also assessed whether combination of basic indicators are good enough to make portfolio creation judgment that can lead to market beating portfolio or not. * All the testing has been done using the Bloomberg terminal. LIMITATIONS * There are many lead, hybrid and lag indicators available in the market however not every single one can be tested. * The testing only targets the NSE that is typically Indian market, hence the results may be non-inferential for international markets. * The matrix used in fundamental factor back testing only tests out few combinations and only takes into consideration a few fundamental indicators. Hence it is limited by the scope of the study that is to just determine that can there be successful portfolio built using simple indicators or not.

...Outline: RESEARCH 1) NATURE AND SCOPE OF RESEARCH 1.1) Definition – purposive, systematic and scientific process of gathering, analyzing, classifying, organizing, presenting and interpreting data for the solution of a problem, for prediction, for invention, for the discovery of truth, or for the expansion or verification of existing knowledge, all for the preservation and improvement of the quality of human life. 1.1.1) History of Research Historical records reveal that there is no written document on the beginning of business research as an organized business activity, but this is definitely of modern origin. During the Middle Ages, the merchant families of Fugger and Rothschild prospered in part because their organizations enabled them to get information before their competitors did. These studies were unsystematic, but considered to be well organized during that time. In 1879, more by accident than foresight, N. W. Ayer and Son conducted a crude but formal market survey, to measure markets for agricultural machineries, manufactured by Nicholas-Shepard Company. This market survey is probably the first real attempt at business research in the United States. The Curits Publishing company is generally conceived to have formed the first formal business research department with the appointment of Charles Parlin as manager of the Commercial Research Division of the Advertising Department in 1911. His original idea was that advertising space could be sold more effectively...

...CHAPTER I Introduction to the Study This chapter has eight parts: (1) Background of the Study, (2) Statement of the Problem, (3) Hypotheses, (4) Theoretical Framework, (5) Conceptual Framework, (6) Significance of the Study, (7) Scope and Limitations of the Study, and (8) Definitions of Terms. Background of the Study A laudable goal of elementary education is one that embraces pupils learning and helps prepare those pupils for a very competitive global society. In light of this one can argue that pupils’ achievement should be the main focus of every individual associated with school systems across our great nation. Teachers are a vital part of the educational system for they provide the motivation and support that pupils need in order to succeed. Yet, teachers also need to be motivated and supported in order to be productive. Teacher morale could suffer due to constant stress of trying to meet the educational goals. Improving teacher morale has many benefits in that it can help teachers to maintain a positive attitude and be happier at work (Govindarajan, 2012). Ellanberg as cited by Govindarajan (2012) found that where morale was high, schools showed an increase in pupils’ academic achievement. Conversely, low levels of morale can lead to decreased teacher productivity and burnout. Recent studies found out that the academic achievement of pupils in the Division of Antique did not meet the standard set by the Department of Education (Arguelles, 2012; Ople,2012; Doronila...
