I loved your correlation on the purchasing of sweaters and eating pumpkin pie. I also believe that variable C – fall season. Is the likely response. I also enjoyed your variable for an individual’s college grades and their income later in life. It is hard to predict if a person who receives average grades in college will have a strong work ethic in their career. College courses can be challenging and some people have a hard time in college, but excel in their work environment. For your exercise and weight loss correlation I thought of another variable C – upcoming wedding. With an approaching wedding many times someone will exercise more and lose weight to fit into their dress. Very good correlations, I enjoyed reading them and getting
Due to both the independent and the dependent variable being continuous I have chosen to use a correlation coefficient test to check for covariation between the two variables. Here the correlation coefficient is -0.2004, which indicates that there is a negative relationship between total family income and feelings towards congress. In layman’s terms that translates to the higher your income the more coldly you feels towards congress. These results are considered to be statistically significant because our data chart shows there to be a p-value of 0 which falls below the necessary F = 0.0000
11. Why is correlation data (data showing that two events occurred at the same time) not necessarily meaningful? Because one factor might not be the cause of the other.
scores; (b) describe in words the general pattern of correlation, if any; (c) figure the correlation coefficient; (d) figure whether the correlation is statistically significant (use the .05 significance level, two-tailed); (e) explain the logic of what you have done, writing as if you are speaking to someone who has never heard of correlation (but who does understand the mean, deviation scores, and hypothesis
However, a correlation between two variables does not necessarily imply causation but for a causal relationship to exist between two variables there must be a correlation between the variables (Solomon W. Golomb, 2005). When predicting the Grade Point Averages, correlation might not be a good test for its prediction. This is because there is no GPA is not only influenced by intelligent quotient but it is also influenced by other external factors like Education background, family background, social and political environment among other factors. Other statistical tests may include the use of rating scales to rate qualities that cannot be directly rated through correlation by use of variables like good, fair, and excellent among others. Coefficient of correlation might also be used as a technique of predicting the Grade Point Averages. This refers to the main result of a correlation whereby it predicts significant and smaller changes among variables by use of scale r that ranges from +1.0 to -1.0.
When conducting a correlation study between exercise and water intake, the variables would be the amount of exercise and the volume of water consumption. There is a high possibility that there would be a positive correlation between the variables. Meaning, the more water the subject consumes, the longer that subject is able to exercise. There could be other variables that affect the results such as endurance, physical health, and energy. A subject that is more predisposed to put more effort into exercising would have more endurance compared to a subject that is not in prime physical
Therefore, not fitting with what the hypothesis states. 5c. What could be changed and improved for the correlation technique would be what studies they receive their data from. The correlation technique cannot be manipulated and it is used with the existent data. By changing the data the answers could be changed in order to prove the hypothesis without any defaults. 5d. Correlations are great when it comes to comparing variables. By using the correlation method, it cannot be manipulated because it is using the information that already exist. But, by using an experiment a person can actually prove the hypothesis and it is more concise. It can be manipulated meaning that a person can always find the reason for the results. Furthermore, this can conclude whether the independent variable affected the other variables in the experiment. 5e. An experiment that would help support the hypothesis is by giving 2 people with split brain and 2 people with the intact brain a task that would exercise the brain to see the relationships of the functions of the left and right hemispheres. The experiment would be showing a slide with the faces of well-known celebrities and using name tags. The people with the intact
Symbols can be both positive and negative in a story. In the story “Eleven” the red sweater symbolized Rachel in a negative way. The story “The Sound of Summer Running” the tennis shoes symbolized Douglas in a positive way. These two symbols in the story reveal the theme or message in the story in both positive and negative ways. In the story “Eleven” Rachel’s actions build the importance of the red sweater in a negative way.
Motivations are powerful means to direct one’s life and to provide a purpose, however these motivations can come at a price to those whom are close them. The authors of each short story support this idea by giving the characters of each story a motivation that inspires them to improve their lives at the cost of the wellbeing of themselves or other individuals. Each character made conscious attempt to obtain what desire most; with a motivation as the primary source that dictates what they do.
In this essay I will describe correlation is a measure of association as well as describe different methods of establishing a correlation between variables. In this essay I will also explain advantages and disadvantages of each method, were each must be applied, and provide particular circumstances and examples in which a researcher may want to establish correlation
My ancestors, grandparents, were born in Haiti. My grandparents were the first to come to America. They left their country of birth because they were looking for a better life and a brighter future for their children and grandchildren. They were mistreated because of the color of their skin and they could not speak English. However, they did stop from reaching their goals of becoming nurses, doctors and engineers. Some even served in the US Army and others in the Air Force. At home, my parents teach us to speak Creole so we can be able to communicate with the rest of the family members who still leave back home in Haiti. It’s a tradition on New Year, we go to church and have midnight prayer for good luck. Interestingly, we had pumpkin
I look outside and see leaves in different hues of golden yellow, vivid reds, and earthy browns rustling in the wind. The fall season is in full swing as the weather gets colder and the days get shorter, and one thought always crosses my mind: pumpkin pie. This time of year I donate my time and volunteer to bake hundreds of 12-inch pumpkin pies needed to feed families on Thanksgiving who would otherwise go without. I have concern for those who for some reason or another have found themselves without a roof over their head, deprived of food or a warm bed of their own. As a member of the next generation, I feel I have a responsibility to make a difference and help. Baking pies allows me to not only provide families with a holiday favorite, but
Evaluation: I found some information that was useful, but also found it repeating from others that I have already read. I can use the information about preventing obesity to tie in with how schools and parents are a contributing factor to obesity. Otherwise, I don’t plan on using much information from this source.
In his broken Spanish, Ito introduced me to a little boy, his older brother, and his dad. His older brother looked a little younger than me. I toke off my hat and shook there hands. I was really nervous. Then when they started talking to me in Spanish i wasn't as nervous as i was earlier. After the contratista left, we marched in line to the end of the field, selected a row, and started to work. I ended up between Panchito and his father. Because it was my first time ever picking harvesting strawberries. Ito asked Poncho to show me how to pick. Its easy he told me. The main thing is to make sure the strawberry is ripe and not bruised or rotten he said to me. And he also said that if i get tired of squatting that i can work on my knees. Poncho invited me to eat
In Part 1, I conducted a statistical experiment to determine if a linear relationship exists between each of my independent variables and my dependent variable, which were biological in nature. My independent variables were height (inches) and age (years). My dependent variable was weight (pounds). The goal of my experiment was to observe a linear correlation between an 18-22 year-old male’s height and weight. I collected my data by randomly selecting a sample size of 25 male individuals who attend Montclair State University. The best method of prediction would
