Question | Answer | What are statistics and how are they used in the behavioral sciences? Your answer should be 100 to 200 words. | According to FSU (2010), Statistics are a mathematical science that involves the application of quantitative principles for the collections, analyses, as well as presentations of numerical data. In addition, statistics uses data from a few populations so that they could describe it meaningfully, in order to draw a conclusion from it, to make an informed decision. From the behavioral science stand point statistics is a tool that are used to discover systematic signs within asset of data, as well as guides decision making. Statistics are also used in the behavioral sciences for descriptive, inferential correlation, regression analysis of variance as well as nonparametric statistics (B, Michael, 2010).. | Differentiate between descriptive and inferential statistics. What information do they provide? What are their similarities and differences? Your answer should be 250 to 400 words. | According to Whitaker Steven (2013), statistics is a lot of math concentrating on the data, organizations, along with interpretations of a bunch of numbers (Aron, Aron, & Coups, 2009). However, within researches statistics are important for researchers so that...

...law of large numbers 2.slide * Statistical concept that larger the sample population (or the number of observations) used in a test, the more accurate the predictions of the behavior of that sample, and smaller the expected deviation in comparisons of outcomes. * As a general principle it means that, in the long run, the average (mean) of a long series of observations may be taken as the best estimate of the 'true value' of a variable. 3.slide * In other words, what is unpredictable and chancy in case of an individual is predictable and uniform in the case of a large group. * This law forms the basis for the expectation of probable-loss upon which insurance premium rates are computed. Also called law of averages. Law of Large Numbers Observe a random variable X very many times. In the long run, the proportion of outcomes taking any value gets close to the probability of that value. The Law of Large Numbers says that the average of the observed values gets close to the mean μ X of X. 4.slide ; Law of Large Numbers for Discrete Random Variables * The Law of Large Numbers, which is a theorem proved about the mathematical model of probability, shows that this model is consistent with the frequency interpretation of probability. 5.slide ; Chebyshev Inequality * To discuss the Law of Large Numbers, we first need an important inequality called the Chebyshev Inequality. * Chebyshev’s Inequality is a formula in probability theory that relates...

...Leah Dolce ECO 103 Mortgage Project While doing this project, I kept finding myself to be very indecisive as to what I wanted in a home and what things would be important to me if I were to purchase one. This project helped me understand the basics of buying a home such as: where I would want my kids to go to school, how many bedrooms, how many bathrooms, property, neighborhood reputation, and much more. I had very little knowledge about most of the surrounding area so now I know what kind of research I would have to do to make sure I know exatcly what I want when purchasing a home. I did know I wanted it to be at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and have an updated kitchen. I was able to find those things in the home I selected but what I didn't realize was what the cost would be. There is a huge financial difference between a 15 year fix and a 30 year fix mortgage. For the home I selected it was a $522.76 difference in the monthly payment and a $91,271.79 difference in the amount of interest I would be paying for the life of the loan. If I was abel to afford such a hefty, monthly payment I would choose the 15 year mortgage because in the long run it would be cheaper. The lesson learned here, though, is find a more affordable house and make updates as you go along. All -in-all I had fun doing this project and it helped me understand the process into buying a home and gave me great internet resources to do...

...SYNOPSIS TITLE OF THE PROJECT HOSTEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PROBLEM STATEMENT This project needs to create the Hostel Management System (HMS) to organize the rooms, mess, student’s record and the other information about the students. All hostels without HMS are managed manually by the hostel office. And hence there is a lot of strain on the person who are running the hostel. This particular project deals with the problems on managing a hostel and avoids the problem which occur when carried manually. INTRODUCTION In hostels without a HMS all the things have to be done manually. The Registration form verification to the different data processing are done manually. Thus there are a lot of repetitions which can be easily avoided. Identification of the drawbacks of the existing system leads to the designing of computerized system that will be compatible to the existing system with the system which is more user friendly and more GUI oriented. We can improve the efficiency of the system, thus overcome the drawbacks of the existing system. Hostel management gives on idea about how the students details, room allocation, mess expenditure are maintained in the particular concern. The hostel management system also includes some special features like How many students can live in a room, and the students of the hostel can be recognized from their ID number. The administration has the unique identity for each members as well as students details. The stock management...

...nonstop work. Startups are a counterexample to the rule that haste makes waste. (Too much money seems to be as bad for startups as too much time, so we don't give them much money either.) A week before Demo Day, we have a dress rehearsal called Rehearsal Day. At other Y Combinator events we allow outside guests, but not at Rehearsal Day. No one except the other founders gets to see the rehearsals. The presentations on Rehearsal Day are often pretty rough. But this is to be expected. We try to pick founders who are good at building things, not ones who are slick presenters. Some of the founders are just out of college, or even still in it, and have never spoken to a group of people they didn't already know. So we concentrate on the basics. On Demo Day each startup will only get ten minutes, so we encourage them to focus on just two goals: (a) explain what you're doing, and (b) explain why users will want it. That might sound easy, but it's not when the speakers have no experience presenting, and they're explaining technical matters to an audience that's mostly...

If it doesn't go up to the menu bar and select File -> New Project In the New Project dialog select Standard EXE, and click the Open Button. This will bring up your new Project 1 application with Form1 visible. Already Visual Basic has done a lot for us. As you can see this tutorial isn't very long but already you have a full working application. You can see your new program in action by going up to the menu bar and selecting Run -> Start (Or simply press the F5 key). You should see the Form1 window appear: This is a fully functional application. You can move it around, minimize and maximize it, and close it down. For you to do this same thing in C++ - the original language most of Windows was written in you would have written hundreds of lines of code. You area already getting to see some of the extreme power VB gives you. Now lets continue with the tutorial. Lets make this program say hello! On the left side of the screen you can see the toolbox (if this doesn't show up go to the top menu bar and select View -> Toolbox). In this toolbox you will see a picture of a button. Double click the button icon and it will create a Command1 CommandButton in the center of your form. If you run the program now (Press F5) you will see your window now has a button labeled Command1 in the center of it, but if you click the button it doesn't do anything...

...of the most basic statistical analysis is descriptive analysis. Descriptive statistics can summarize responses from large numbers of respondents in a few simple statistics. When a sample is obtained, the sample descriptive statistics are used to make inferences about characteristics of the entire population of interests. Descriptive analysis is the transformation of data in a way that describes the basic characteristics such as tendency, distribution, and variables. A examples of this would be if a company wanted to find out what type of bonus employees prefer. Descriptive statistics are used to explain the basic properties of these variables. One descriptive statistics that is used to explain the basic properties of variables is Mean, Median, and Modes. These terms all would be descriptive statistics for the above example by describing the central tendency in different ways. The mean would reflect the average answer that is given. The Median would provide the answer that is the central or middle range answer. The mode would be the answer that was given the most often. A second descriptive statistic that is used to explain the basic properties of variables is Tabulation. This refers to the orderly arrangement of data in a table or other summary format. When the tabulation process is done by hand, the term tallying is used. Simple tabulation tells how frequently each response or bit of information occurs. A third descriptive statistic used to explain the basic properties...

...Statistics in Business Amy Lawrence Qnt/275 04/04/16 Cynthia Roberts Statistics in Business Statistics - a science of producing useful results from data that is manipulated in specific ways. An example of this would be to keep a count of how often a red bear sold over a blue bear and after a specific amount of time, use the data to eliminate the bear that sold less so that space in the store could be used for a better selling item. “Statistics is the science of learning from data, and of measuring, controlling, and communicating uncertainty; and it thereby provides the navigation essential for controlling the course of scientific and societal advances” American Statistical Association. (2016). What is Statistics?. Retrieved from http://www.amstat.org/careers/whatisstatistics.cfm Quantitative data – Simply put this type of data is expressed as numbers or can be measured. They can be found by using the ordinal, interval or ratio scales. The numbers used in this way is manipulated statistically with equations. Qualitative data is representative of people’s culture, gender, economics or religion or just general groups of people. The qualitative data can be shown as ordinal which have three or more categories in a set order, dichotomous which mean only two categories such as male or female or nominal which have no order and three or more categories. Quantitative data are numbers that reflect what has been seen or tracked such as how many times...

...Use of Statistical Information HCS/438 August 6, 2012 Use of Statistical Information Statistics is defined as “the science of collecting, organizing, and interpreting data” (Bennett, Briggs, & Triola, 2009). For most patients and their families, the process of healthcare appears simple. People with illnesses are admitted into a hospital facility and a specific course of treatment is identified and the care is carried out by a team of physicians, nurses, and social workers. What is not noticed is a specialized resource team aimed at keeping all patients safe throughout the course of their hospitalization. This paper will identify how statistics are utilized in the infection prevention setting, identify one example of descriptive statistics, identify one example of inferential statistics, explain data at each of the four levels of measurement and describe the advantages of accurate interpretation of statistical information to improve decision making in the workplace. How Are Statistics Used in Your Workplace There are many uses for statistical application in the field of infection prevention and control. The purpose of infection prevention and control is to put into place policies and procedures that minimize the spread of infections, especially in the hospital setting. The primary function of infection prevention and control surveillance is to reduce the occurrence of infections by using risk factors and implementation of risk-risk reduction measures and the...
