HCS/438 DQ’s Week 1: DQ1: What are the differences between descriptive and inferential statistics? According to Bennett (2009), the biggest difference between descriptive and inferential statistics is that descriptive statistics "deals with describing raw data in the form of graphics and sample of statistics" and inferential statistics "deals with estimating population parameters from sample data." This means that inferential statistics would be an estimate because the data would be estimated

Ethical Behavior at Rocky University Ethical behavior should be expected from college students; however, it is not always present. There is a moral obligation for students, earning a degree, that they are in fact the ones doing the homework and tests. The prevalence of online institutions has helped enable a multitude of working individuals earn a degree. Without the classroom setting, it is arduous for a professor to ensure who is on the other end of the keyboard and monitor. In fact, Gopala, Paswan

When trying to choose which paper I was going to report on, I initially was looking for articles that had to either entirely or more-or-less deal with a topic that we covered in class; because of this, I was going to read the experiment that dealt with object permanence. However, after reading a small portion of that experiment, it couldn’t really grasp my attention, so I basically just went through the other articles looking for the titles that caught my attention the most. After looking through

remember, for example it would be better to visualise a cat living inside a tree, rather than a cat climbing up a tree as the first scene is more unlikely and bizarre. Experimental Hypothesis: Individuals are more likely to recall words if it is given in picture form rather than just the word shown alone. Null Hypothesis: Being shown images compared to just being showing the word does not change an individual’s ability to recall the word. Method The method of the study was to test whether being shown

different theories and hypotheses to explain the same phenomena, we can use a number of alternative methods to conduct research. In this exercise, you will learn more about several methods of research that psychologists use to gain new knowledge about human behavior and ethical concerns psychologists face when conducting research. 1. You are conducting research on sex differences in e-mails. Your hypothesis is that men use more

factors that influence reporting and different circumstances in which students are willing to report other students carrying weapons. ( 2010, page 352-353). Wylie noted, (2010) for this study the specific hypotheses below. The third hypothesis is the null hypothesis, because the researcher predicts no relationship

The purpose or the significance of the experiment was to see if brine shrimp can survive in different salinities of saltwater. The experimental (alternative) hypothesis was supported, because in figure 1 it showed that there was an increase of the average (mean) of survival rate of the brine shrimp when the salinity level (in grams) increased. It was in Figure 1 and it shown that the rates had higher numbers (increased survival rates) and the lower salinities had lower survival rates. The raw data

test in improving melanoma diagnoses. My research question was: How does the use of DermTech non-invasive adhesive patch test impact overall melanoma diagnosis in a dermatology clinic? My alternative hypothesis was that the DermTech noninvasive adhesive patch test would improve diagnosis. My null hypothesis was

The research conducted in the “top-down” effects in perception research was guided by the El Greco fallacy. Here, it is brought to the attention of findings that distortions must have any alternative explanation besides a literal perceptual distortion. Researchers applied this theory because of the fact that distortions must cancel each other out, since the means of reproduction should be distorted as was the stimulus being reproduced. In their research, authors asked if higher-level states such
