Which procedure would you use to analyze these data?

/in /by

Assignment 11: 2 Sample Inference WS Name:

Neatly respond to each prompt. Show all work for full credit. Round to four decimal places.

1. A reading activity is introduced to help third graders improve their reading. A class of 21 students takes part in the activities for 8 weeks. A control class of 23 students has the same curriculum minus the activities. At the end of the 8 weeks, all students are given a reading test. The average and standard deviation of the treatment groups scores are 51.41 and 11.01 respectively. The average and standard deviation of the control group scores are 41.52 and 17.15 respectively. Is there evidence that the activities helped?

a. Which procedure would you use to analyze these data? Explain your choice.
Independent samples – general procedure
Independent samples – pooled variance procedure

b. Would it be possible to implement a paired sample experiment to address the effectiveness of the reading activity for this unit in the curriculum? If so, describe a paired experiment. If not, explain why not.

2. Does calcium reduce blood pressure? A randomized comparative experiment gave one group of 10 men a calcium supplement for 12 weeks. The control group of 11 men received a placebo. The average decrease in blood pressure for the treatment group was 5 mm with sample standard deviation 8.743 mm. The average and standard deviation for the control (placebo) group were -0.273 mm and 5.901 mm respectively. Is there evidence of a difference between the two groups?
State whether you would treat the samples as paired or independent. If independent, would you use the general or pooled variance procedure to analyze the data? Explain
In general, why do we bother using the pooled variances procedure when the general procedure will work in any case?

3. Which of the following are true statements? (Circle all that apply).
The p-value is the probability that the null hypothesis is true.
If the p-value is large, we reject the null hypothesis.
A small p-value indicates evidence in favor of the null hypothesis.
A small p-value indicates that the observed data are unlikely if the null hypothesis is true.
If p=0.0001, the null hypothesis cannot be true.
If (-0.5, 0.5) is a 95% confidence interval for μ, we would fail to reject the null hypothesis in a size 0.05 test of H0: μ = 1.
4. A company has two production lines for constructing television sets. 1128 TV’s are randomly chosen from line A of which 23 fail to meet the company’s quality standards and 24 of 962 TVs randomly chosen from line B fail to meet the standards. We could conduct a hypothesis test to determine if this is evidence of a difference in operating standards between the two lines.

What are the population(s) and parameter(s) of interest?
If we reject the null hypothesis what do we conclude?

5. You conduct a hypothesis to compare the impact of two different training regimens (regimen 1 and regimen 2) on swimmers’ speeds. To this end, you consider 10 swimmers from each regimen and find the mean improvement in times.
a. If the symbols below are defined as usual, which is the appropriate null hypothesis stated symbolically?
H0:
H0: μ1 = μ2
H0: μ1 ≠ μ2
H0:
H0: p1 = p2

b. Which is the appropriate alternative hypothesis given in context?
The mean time improvement is the same for both regimens.
The mean time improvement is not the same for both regimens.
The proportion of swimmers who improved is the same for both regimens.
The proportion of swimmers who improved is not the same for both regimens.
6. A study examines whether male and female college students are equally likely to be frequent binge drinkers. The data (from Moore McCabe and Craig, p. 513) are given in the table below:

Population n X X/n
1 (men) 5,348 1,392 0.260
2 (women) 8,471 1,748 0.206
Let p1 be the proportion of male binge drinkers and let p2 be the proportion of female binge drinkers. The null and alternative hypotheses are H0: p1 = p2 and HA: p1 ≠ p2.

a. Obviously the two proportions 0.260 and 0.206 are different. Why can we not just reject the null hypothesis based on this observation without doing inference?

b. The p-value for this test is p=0.0004. State the conclusions.

How would you apply Adlers theory of birth order to this personality?

Political Personalities

 

 

 

NO PLAGIARISM  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

As we have seen this week when looking at both psychoanalytic and neo-psychoanalytic theory, much of our mental health and success in adulthood is related to the events and relationships of our childhood. Much like Freud, Alfred Adler believed that childhood events are pivotal for the adult. For Adler, his pivotal childhood events were the development of rickets which kept him from walking until the age of four and contracting a near-fatal case of pneumonia at age five. These events served to inculcate a lifelong ambition which centered around his becoming a physician in order to focus on the curing of deadly diseases.

 

According to Alfred Adler, all people have moments when they feel inferior. For many, such moments will lead them to strive to compensate for that weakness. When this happens, it leads to what he calls “superiority striving,” in which the person is motivated by his or her feelings of inferiority to overcome and strive for betterment, achievement, and perfection.

 

It is important to note that superiority striving is different from simply striving for power. Adler considered this an unhealthy desire because the sole goal is power. The way that someone strives to meet his or her goals from an Adlerian point of view is referred to as a style of life.

 

Adler is also known for his study of birth order and its impact on personality.

Research Adler’s theory using your textbook, the Internet, and the Argosy University online library resources. Based on your research, respond to the following:

 

  • Choose a social or political leader (current or past) to examine through an Adlerian framework of superiority striving and style of life.
    • Superiority Striving
      • What might be the motivation behind this leader’s career choice, according to Adler’s theory? What was this person’s perceived inferiority or weakness? How did this person obtain his or her high level of superiority striving? For example, Franklin Roosevelt’s bout with polio may have been responsible for some of his motivation.
    • Style of Life
      • What was his/her goal and unique style of life that could be used to achieve this goal? What steps did this person take to overcome their perceived inferiority?
      • Did this leader act out of social interest or for personal gain? What was the long-term outcome of his/her striving?
    • Birth Order
      • How would you apply Adler’s theory of birth order to this personality?

 

Is the approach of GH for not having any expansion plans for the next five years for their unit justified, keeping in mind the interest of the community?

Program Development Case StudyHappy Valley Hospital is a community-based facility with 288 acute care beds, a twelve suite family-oriented birthing center, a forty four bed long-term care inpatient facility, and a fourteen bed inpatient rehabilitation unit. Happy Valley has a major competitor, GH, which has two hundred beds, a small cancer center, and a kidney dialysis unit.Happy Valleys director of internal medicine, along with the director of nursing for that department, are considering establishing a new hemodialysis service. GH has a small hemodialysis unit, but they do not have enough beds to properly accommodate the needs of this community.The Happy Valley medical director has surveyed the six nephrologists with staff privileges at the hospital and has determined that all six agree that there is a need for more hemodialysis beds in the community. Moreover, these nephrologists all have staff privileges at both Happy Valley and GH and would prefer that the new beds be added to the GH unit. GH, however, has no plans to expand their unit for at least the next five years, and presently, new patients are being referred to a dialysis unit in another community thirty minutes south of Happy Valley Hospital. Those patients as well as their families find this alternative site and location to be unacceptable.Based on your understanding of the above case, express your views on the following:How should the medical director at Happy Valley try to convince patients now being referred to the dialysis unit thirty minutes to the south to switch their care to Happy Valley Hospital?What steps should the Happy Valley medical director take to ensure that patients will get the proper care and facilities at the Happy Valley Hospital hemodialysis unit, when it is established?Is the approach of GH for not having any expansion plans for the next five years for their unit justified, keeping in mind the interest of the community? Why or why not?APA format

What was the entrepreneurs primary motivation for starting a business?

/in /by

Overview One of the most valuable learning experiences students interested in the field of entrepreneurship can have involves conducting a field interview of a successful entrepreneur. However, to be of value, the interview must be done in a highly professional and systematic manner. It must be approached rigorously, not casually. The student should prepare questions in advance. Following this, it is helpful to first walk through the questions in a mock interview with a friend. The student should develop an efficient means for taking notes or capturing the key points made by the entrepreneur. When actually with the entrepreneur, the student must attempt to establish a personal rapport (taking the entrepreneur to lunch for the interview might help). It is critical that the student does not just deal with superficial questions and answers. The key is to probe, to ask why, to delve beneath the surface to get at what the entrepreneur is really all about, to find out what makes the entrepreneur “tick”. Requirements a. The entrepreneur must have a venture that is at least two years old. He/she must have started the venture. The venture must have at least ten employees (can be full-time or part-time). b. The interview of the entrepreneur must be conducted in person, and cannot be done over the phone without first getting instructor permission. c. Plan for the interview to take at least an hour. Given the schedules of successful entrepreneurs, this may mean more than one meeting. d. The final written summary of the insights developed during the interview should be in a report format that is no more than five pages in length. Core Issues to be Addressed and a Way to Structure the Interview The interview should not focus on the venture, but instead on the entrepreneur. Thus, when the student writes up the interview, it should NOT be a case study of the venture. The entrepreneur will want to talk about the venture, and you must let some of that happen, but keep bringing it back to the person herself or himself. There should be a relatively brief picture painted regarding the nature of the venture, and it may be necessary to discuss specific events that happened as the business evolved, but only because such events provide insights regarding the entrepreneur. The core focus of the interview should be as many insights as the student can come up with regarding the entrepreneur himself or herself. Focusing just on the venture is where students lose the most points. Some of these personal issues that you will want to approach either directly or subtly include motivation, approach to risk, need for control, managerial style, ways of thinking (look at your material on cognition), role models, personal goals, and impact of the business on family. DREAM > BELIEVE > PURSUE 2 It is useful to organize your questions around issues pertaining to a) the entrepreneur before they started the venture, the entrepreneur at the time he/she started the venture, c) the entrepreneur as she/he grew the venture, and d) the entrepreneur today and tomorrow. This will give you a logical flow if you do not intermix the questions. Examples (this is not a comprehensive list) of issues in each area include: a) The Entrepreneur Before They Started The Venture -Did the entrepreneur have parents that were entrepreneurial? -What is the entrepreneurs educational background? -What is the entrepreneurs previous work experience (before starting the venture)? -Did the entrepreneur have any role models when growing up? -Did the entrepreneur do entrepreneurial things as a youth? -When did the entrepreneur know he/she wanted to be an entrepreneur? b) The Entrepreneur At The Time He/She Started The Venture -What was the entrepreneurs primary motivation for starting a business? What were the factors that led him/her to start the venture? -What were the entrepreneurs goals at the time they started the venture -What sort of beliefs did the entrepreneur have (e.g., about employees, partners, debt, etc.) -Did the entrepreneur seek to establish a “lifestyle” business, a “rapid growth” business, or what? Did their growth orientation change over time? -What sort of resources (not just financial) did the entrepreneur have when they started the venture? What sort of network did they have? Were there any especially creative things they did to come up with the needed resources? -How concerned was the entrepreneur with control when starting the venture? Explore their need for control (of the venture, of people, of decision-making). -What was the entrepreneurs risk orientation when they started the venture? -Did the entrepreneur write a business plan? -Did the entrepreneur feel prepared to start the venture at the time he/she started it? -How long was a typical work day and work week when the entrepreneur first started the venture? c) The Entrepreneur As She/He Grew The Venture -How have the entrepreneurs goals and values changed since they started the venture? -Did the entrepreneurs risk orientation change as the venture grew? -Did the entrepreneurs need for control change as the venture grew? -Did the typical work week change as the venture grew (in terms of how much time the venture required and in terms of how the entrepreneur allocated his/her time)? -Did the entrepreneur make assumptions when they first started out that subsequently proved to be wrong? What sort of insights were gained? -What key mistakes did the entrepreneur make along the way? What were some of the key lessons learned? (ask about their greatest moment and their worst moment) -Were there some critical points in the development of the venture when the venture almost failed, or when the entrepreneur found himself/herself at a critical crossroads in terms of some vital decision or issue that had to be addressed in a certain way or the venture would have failed? d) The Entrepreneur Today And Tomorrow -What would the entrepreneur do differently if they had it all to do over again? DREAM > BELIEVE > PURSUE 3 -What key personal characteristics does the entrepreneur see in himself or herself that were especially critical for achieving success with this particular venture? -What are the entrepreneurs plans for the future in terms of the venture? -What is the entrepreneurs “exit strategy” or do they have one? -What advice, based on his/her own experience, does the entrepreneur have for a student interested in starting a venture today? The final section of the write up should address how the findings of the interview apply or are meaningful to the student himself or herself. What did the student learn or discover that has meaning for their own plans, for their own future? What did you discover about yourself? Another useful idea is to structure your interview with the easier questions up front. Build up to the more threatening or personal questions, and then end with some questions that are more reflective and future looking. Dont accept superficial answers if you can avoid them. Dont accept the politically correct response. It is critical that you probe. Ask people to elaborate or explain what they mean, or why. Some Other General Points You should not just dwell on the positive. While entrepreneurs often do not like to admit weaknesses or mistakes, both represent important aspects of who they are and how they got where they are today. You should ask them about their biggest weakness or shortcoming when starting the business, how they have addressed or dealt with that shortcoming over time, the biggest mistakes they made over the course of starting and growing their venture, things they would have done differently if they had them to do over again, and so forth. Also, try to cut through the bias or propaganda—there is a natural tendency for people to make themselves and events sound better, more planned, more logical, and more successful than they necessarily were. Be sure to examine the effect of the venture on the persons total life. Did it mean sacrifices for the entrepreneurs family? Did it lead to divorce or resentment from children? Did it lead to imbalances between a persons work life, family life and personal life? There is no preferred format for your actual write up. Try to make it interesting. But be sure to capture the essence of what you learned from this experience, and this is generally placed at the end of the write up. We do not simply want the script of the interview.

Where might bias exist in the study and for how was it controlled?

Assignment Overview: Social Psychology Research: Bias and Ethics
As a student of psychology, it is important to fully understand how research is conducted, as well as the numerous issues associated with sound research. Two important research issues are bias and ethics. When a research study is biased, either by the study design, the participants (subject bias), or the conduct of the study or interpretation of the results (experimenter bias), the results may be misleading. When practitioners then apply the results of the study to a real world situation, the impact may be ineffective, may achieve different results than expected, or may even be harmful. Unbiased research is essential.
Another important consideration in psychological research is ethics. Any research must be ethical in how it is conducted and how the results are used. A high level of ethics is especially critical when it comes to research involving human subjects, which is the case with most psychological research. Ethics in research involves honesty, objectivity, integrity, carefulness and competence, openness, respect for intellectual property, respect for privacy, confidentiality, responsible publication of findings, social responsibility, non-discrimination, legality, care of animals for those studies involving animals, and protection of the rights of human subjects.
This  Assignment asks you to analyze a social psychology research article for bias and ethics. The skills acquired can be applied to a critique of any scientific research study.
To prepare for this assignment:
•    Review Chapter 1 of the course text, Social Psychology, focusing on research bias and research ethics.
•    Watch the “Research Methods” video from the Contemporary Videos in Social Psychology DVD. Focus on the various problems that can be associated with different types of research.
•    Read the online article, “What Is Ethics in Research and Why Is It Important?” Focus on the expectations of ethics for the scientific community, how results are used in the real world, and related ethical issues.
•    Select one of the following articles from this weeks Learning Resources:
o    “Intervening to Decrease Alcohol Abuse at University Parties: Differential Reinforcement of Intoxication Level”
o    “An Attitude-Behavior Model of Salespeoples Customer Orientation”
o    “Prosocial and Antisocial Behavior in Preadolescence: Teachers and Parents Perceptions of the Behavior of Girls and Boys”
o    “The Self-Protective Altruist: Terror Management and the Ambivalent Nature of Prosocial Behavior”
o    “A Cross-Cultural Study of Environmental Motive Concerns and Their Implications for Proenvironmental Behavior”
•    Read your selected article thoroughly and think about the following questions:
What was the purpose of this research study?
How were the participants selected?
What kind of design is the study? (correlational or experimental)
How was data collected?
Where might bias exist in the study and for how was it controlled?

What might be the implications of bias in this study? In other words, if the results of this study were applied in real life and bias was indeed present, what might be the results?
