Essays on Dependent Variable

Abstract

Aging parents usually fall into the responsibility of their children, who become their caregivers. While in the process of carrying for their elderly parents, the adult children may deal with various changes, ranging from the feebleness of their parents to their changing behaviors, modes, forgetting estate and so on. Moreover, they might even be experiencing the fact that their parents are permanently unsatisfied and continuously requesting for more attention and more choruses to be done for them. While dealing with this, the children also have to handle and to organize their own lives and many of them are still ...

Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) is an analysis technique that is applied to two variables in order to determine the strength of relationship between the two variables. This determines how the variables change together. This data analysis technique employs a general linear model. This means that is combines the analysis of variance as well as regression analysis to one data set. One of the variables to be tested has to be an independent variable while the other variable needs to be a dependent variable. The analysis determines the variance of the means of the dependent variable as compared to the independent variable ...

This chapter introduces the need occasioning by a theoretical framework after a literature review. An issue I found interesting is on how the theoretic framework serves as the basis of the hypothesis developed by the research. To commence, a theoretical framework is explained as the belief an individual holds on the relationship between phenomena. The explanation forwarded by the individual on how these phenomena are related is the theory. The relationship and the theory have to be in agreement with previous research carried out in the problem area. Building a theoretical framework, therefore, includes the process of introducing variables, developing a model that describes ...

Determination of hypothesis

Apparently, the most important hypothesis among the three generated assumptions is the one concerned with security. The exact hypothesis is: The U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present has not improved the security situation. Apparently, the most prominent concern of the U.S government, when designing such legislation as that relating to immigration, is security. The illegal immigrants are generally associated with such evils as drug trafficking, human trafficking as well as terrorism (West & Brookings Institution, 2010). As such, the effectiveness of the U.S. immigration reform policy circa 2001 to present can only be evaluated by the much the ...

QUESTION 1

A dependent variable can be defined as the factor that changes resulting from changes in the independent variable (Geweke, 2010, p. 310). For example, in a controlled experiment, this can be described as what tends to be tested for result (Hendry, 2009, p. 60). In this assignment, I decided to analyze the number of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in Britain, among companies in the United Kingdom between 1969 and 2011. I find the variable of interest since it exhibits considerable variability and would, therefore, be challenging to model. The variable (Mergers & Acquisitions) exhibits high year to year variability, ...

Introduction

The issue of immigration has become very controversial in the last two decades. This controversy has come in light of drastic changes and reforms to the nation’s immigration policies from the year 2001 when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened. The controversy on the issue of immigration reforms has emanated from the fact that there are those in the society who are in favor of the enacted policy reforms while there are those who vehemently oppose the enacted reforms. However, this paper has committed itself not to analyzing this debate or controversy associated with the immigration reform circa 2001, ...

Causal Design

The research on offenders and empathy will employ the research design of causal design. This is because the research is an explanatory research with a focus on the why question. For instance, it is quite often to link lack of empathy with crime or in that case with offenders. Thus, say to examine the trends of crimes in relation to empathy among the offenders as well among the non-offenders. It is then quite usual to develop an explanation why crime rate increase among inhuman or empathy-less individuals, why crime is less among empathetic individuals. Additionally, why are some crimes more ...

Generalizability

Husserl distinguishes procedure of generalization and specialization of procedures of formalization and deformalization. Generalization is the transition from the spirit to higher on the tree of generic entities and formalization - a "meaningful generalization in a purely formal logic." For example, the transition from "red" to "sensory quality" is a generalization, and the transition from "red" to "adjective" or "chalk" to "beings" or "existing" is a formalization. Similarly, deformalization is filling the empty logical form something meaningful and specialization - descent of the tree of generic. Examples of both we find in mathematics. Example of formalization: the transition from an intuitive understanding ...

Introduction

Poverty is the deprivation of basic things like money, food or assets that are essential for a normal life. GDP on the other hand is the goods and services produced within the by a country in a year. It is known that with increase in poverty it leads to reduction in output of a country. This is because essential resources that are vital for production are lacking. It also means that human capital is insufficient and consequently the resources needed to stir growth are used to feed and provide for the poor population. Poverty and unstable GDP are common phenomena in developing ...

Executive summary

Multiple linear regression analysis is a statistical tool of analysis that is commonly used to forecast a variable, which is dependent on several independent variables based on historical data. Multiple linear regression analysis is normally used to evaluate the nature of the correlation between the dependent variable denoted as y and the independent variables (X1, X2Xn). The developed model is then used to predict levels of the dependent variable y. Multiple linear regressions is important in business, economics, medicine, psychology among many other fields. The correlation between Y predicted and Y actual is called the multiple correlation coefficients which is ...

Our explanation over how these terms are related to each other during building blocks of Theory Construction will be based on Modern portfolio Theory. The Thoery suggests that StockPrices is affected by multiple factors while the hypothesis in this study will be if there is a negative relationship between inflation and stock prices, a positive relationship between foreign exchange rate and stock prices and again a positive relationship between Real GDP and Stock Prices. In other words, the main core thrust of the hypothesis is to study the effect of Macro Economic Variables on Stock Prices.

1) Describe how to formulate and test hypothesis about a population mean and/or a population.

A hypothesis essentially refers to the prediction of the expected outcome of a research process. When one intends to research a particular subject, event or outcome, he ought to state his expected outcome. There are two types of hypotheses; null and alternate hypotheses. The null hypothesis refers to what the researcher is trying to nullify, disapprove or reject. In testing the hypothesis, the researcher attempts to prove the hypothesis either wrong or right. In hypothesis testing, the researcher needs to first state both the null and alternate hypotheses. The researcher then needs develops an analysis plan which describes how to use ...

1.) Break-even analysis is an important tool, which helps to define the level of sales needed for the company to break even. The basic formula for calculating the break-even point is (fixed costs)/(selling price – variable cost per unit), however in some instances this formula is further adjusted for noncash items, in order to evaluate the break even position from the cash flow prospective only. The independent variables in this calculation are selling price as well as fixed and variable costs, while the dependent variable is the level of sales, needed to break even. This relatively easy ...

The correlation coefficient between extraversion, an independent variable, and job satisfaction, a dependent variable, is seen to be 0.47. This means that there is a positive correlation between extroversion and job satisfaction (Stockburger, 1996). This suggests that the more extroverted a person is, the more likely they are to feel content with their job. This is a rather intuitive relationship because most workplaces tend to occur within a social setting. For a typical worker, the course of the work day involves numerous interactions with many different coworkers. The social aspect of work is very important for most people. Those who are introverted may not be ...

There is a time when advertisers need more than descriptive research to understand consumers current behaviors and attitudes. They sometimes require an understanding of cause and effect, which is obtained through experimental research in which an advertiser alters something in the consumer’s environment, or product in order to see what would happen. The goal of an experiment is usually to determine the effect of changes in one area on one or more other areas. An experiment is used to vary the amount of advertising placed in particular markets to determine how advertising weight affects target audience, advertising awareness and ...

CONTROLLING EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES

CONTROLLING EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES

Dependent variable is the variable that is measured by the experimenter.

Extraneous Variable is a variable that is not an independent variable in a study but has an effect on the dependent variable. There are two types namely: - Situation variable: This involves the environmental aspect of the study such as noise, presence of others and physical characteristics of the environment like rain and temperature. - Participant variables: This refers to variations between participants’ characteristics such as mood, expectations, intelligence among others. Extraneous variables must be controlled to ensure that the changes observed in dependent variables are due to the changes in independent variable.

This study sought to examine if gender, the number of jobs assigned to a truck driver and the number of days spent ...

Electoral College

The Electoral College is a constitutional electoral institution judged with the responsibility of electing the President and Vice-president. The Electoral College was established in the United State’s Constitution in 1798, when the country was facing political challenges of this time. The Electoral College was established principally because of the possibility of elections in the country degenerating into violence and chaos. The electoral institution was meant to thwart the politically charged environment of the late 18th century. The Electoral College also served to balance between the interests of the government and citizens during an electoral process (Honaker, 2009). Therefore the ...

Research Question and Hypotheses

Problem Statement Furthermore, students are motivated to complete their school work using technology. Goertler and Bollen (2012) reported that students select a hybrid course not for their own technological savvy or their belief in the delivery format, but rather for the same logistical reasons that often prompt an institution to hybridize the curriculum: the flexibility in space and time. Today, school districts are buying hardware and software to implement into the curriculum only to find it underutilized by teachers. To increase the resources covered, reinforce their comprehension, and provide variety in delivery modes, Usova (2011) stated that the BSJ [ ...
