The variable age is the independent variable and is a ratio level of measurement (Loiselle et al., 2011). The measure of central tendency to describe age are in table 1.2 are the mean of 57.62 which is the average age, the median which is the middle score within the distribution when all scores are organized of 58.5 and the mode of 58 which is the most frequently occurring age (Loiselle et al., 2011). The measures of variability are the range of 69 with a minimum age of 22 and a maximum age of 91…

How It Is Conveyed Through Music Sadness is one of the six basic, human emotions. It is a negative feeling that humans prefer to avoid and it correlates with a failure to attain or maintain something, and this has given it an evolutionary advantage (Ekman, 1992). Sadness causes both physical and mental changes, inducing feelings of low energy, social withdrawal, insecurity, and negative views of the future (Sachs et. all, 2015). This negative sense can also be evoked in music. Sad cues in speech…

Level of Measurement The majority of the data collected in this survey is solely nominal or categorical in its level, without any numerical values assigned (though numbers could be assigned to the categories if desired, so long as it is understood that the numerical identifiers have no significance beyond their identifying purpose) (Rubin, 2009). Several of these elements are binary nominal variables (i.e. "yes/no" questions), and there are also four elements that progress beyond the nominal level…

obtained in the measurement phase is then used to approximate the position of the target node. Since, due to many factors range data often gets attenuated by noisy signal measurements, optimization methods are to be employed to filter the noise and arrive at a more definite position estimate. Lateration:When ranges between anchor nodes and the mobile node can be determined, lateration is used to estimate position [35]. For two-dimensional localization, three range measurements from known positions…

Does music affect a person? Have you ever walked into a room when there was music playing while you were in a bad mood or an emotional frame of mind, only to find yourself humming or singing along to the music that was playing? Music affects the way we feel, and it can alter the current state of our emotional well-being just by listening to it. Often, in everyday life, people overlook the importance that sounds make in our lives. With all of the issues and tasks that an individual tries to complete…

Music and SLA The question “Can language be acquired through music?” has already been asked, and the literature has already agreed on the benefits of using music to stimulate learning (Medina (1990) cites Jalongo and Bromley, 1984, McCarthey, 1985; Martin, 1983, Mitchell, 1983, and Jolly, 1975). For instance, musical training is proven to improve L2 speech contrast recognition (Gottfried, 2007) and prosodic processing (Magne, Schön & Besson, 2006). Empirical researches show that students can benefit…

Exercise 11 What demographic variables were measured at least at the interval level of measurement? (Grove 79) Age, income, length of labour, return to work, and number of hours per working week were the demographic variables measured at the least interval f measurement. What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? (Grove 79) Mean and standard deviation were used to describe the length of labor in the study. These were appropriate because mean…

listening to music, it gets you through everything, I promise.” When it comes to studying he’s right. Over the course of the semester I’ve kept a journal of every time I studied or did homework, and what I found was that the most common variable was music. The more I listened the more of my work I could get done and comprehend which helped to improve my grades tremendously. For many complete silence is required to concentrates but Studies such as Effects on Reading Comprehension of Preferred Music and Frequency…

Hilary Tallman Mr. Kennedy Research Paper December 5, 2016 Bonding Through Instrumental Music Seven years ago scientists found a flute that someone crafted in 1484 B.C. (Suttie 1). Why would one need an instrument when they should focus on survival? Some say it aided in scaring away animals or attracting the opposite gender (Hullinger 1). Jessica Hullinger (2015) says she believes humans formed music to bring communities together (1). Symphonies, orchestras, and bands bond people together today…
