Introduction

The desire to conform to the norms is what makes the foundation of a civilized society. Social order, for instance, is a desired attribute that is founded on established written and unwritten rules that are being observed by most people within a society. Deviation from these established rules is considered as undesirable and people who deviate are considered as having abnormal qualities or malfunctioning (Merton, 2002, p. 672). There are instances, however, wherein some people are observed to deviate from the standard pattern of human behavior. This deviation has captured the interest of many social scientists and have been ...

Importance of Confidence intervals

The confidence interval is a set or range of values that a population parameter is likely to fall within (Graham, 2008). It is calculated using the sample statistics and a given confidence level. For instance, a confidence interval of the mean calculated using the sample statistics, gives the lowest and highest possible value of the population mean. The population mean is expected to be within the confidence interval. A point estimate is a single value that approximates a population parameter (Graham, 2008). For instance, a sample mean is point estimate of the population mean, while a sample proportion is ...

Introduction

Statistics is a branch of mathematics, aimed at collecting and analyzing data via different methods such as analysis of variance, kurtosis, skewness or regression analysis. Nowadays, statistics helps processing data with a help of creating various charts that in turn help visualizing complex data sets. There are two major types of statistics, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Descriptive and inferential statistics require proper hypothesis formation and thus proper selection of the statistical tests that in turn have to be analyzed and interpreted successfully.

Descriptive Statistics

Descriptive statistics implies application of various coefficients that simplify process of data processing and aggregation (Trochim, ...

Introduction

Spectrophotometry is one of the most common and efficient means of chemical analysis currently used in estimating the concentration of some chemicals. The technique exploits the radiation absorption property of various chemical substances in determining their concentrations. Spectrophotometry is based on Beer-Lambert Law. Beer-Lambert Law is the linear relationship between the absorbance and concentration of an absorbing species (Nair, 2010; Burrows et al., 2013). The mathematical expression of Beer-Lambert Law is shown in equation1 below: A=aλ*b*c Equation 1 In the equation 1 shown above, A represents the measured absorbance, a is the absorptivity coefficient which depends on ...

The above section was crystal clear to me. With a population with sample means x̅1, x̅2, x̅3, x̅4, x̅5, and, x̅ for example, the sampling distribution involves all the averages. It follows that the sampling distribution of the sample means would give the average of the entire population. Moreover, the standard deviation of the sample means is the same as the standard deviation of the population divided by the square root of the sample size (n). And this value is the standard error of the mean. However, the topic of finding probabilities was clear ...

Comparison of sales volumes

The mean is the average of values in a given set of data. In this case, the average sales volume gives the average volume of sales for each salesperson over the six week period. The means can be used to compare the sales volumes of the four salespersons and rank them. The mean is obtained by getting the sum of the volume of sales for all the six weeks then dividing by the number of weeks under consideration.

Determination of the mean volume of sales

Mean volume of sales = Total sales/6 weeks Salesperson A = (1774 + 1808 + 1890 + 1932 + 1855 + 1726)/6 = 10985/6 = 1830.83 Salesperson B = (2205 + ...

According to Krizan and Baron, group polarization is “the tendency of group members to increase the extremity of their position following discussion of a relevant issue” (Krizan & Baron, 2007, p. 191). There are three main reasons of group polarization. The first of them refers to the idea of informational influence. During the discussion, group members listen to the arguments of each other and fall under the influence of the dominant arguments changing their own position and making it more extreme. The second reason is the desire of group members to present themselves in a special way. ...

Although both the terms are quite similar and are used interchangeably with one another, corruption and official deviance in policing are quite different. In a nutshell, it can be said that corruption only forms one of the aspects of official deviance in policing, whereas deviance is highly related to the ethical side of official duties. Corruption is a matter of self-interest and morals of the individual who is concerned about a certain job. Police deviation can be distinguished as the behavior that the police adopt when they hold a position of authority over the rest of the people. This ...

This research uses a modified version of their experiment to assess their hypothesis. The task involves memorizing a three letter trigram and then taking part in a backwards counting task that was designed as a distractor. 112 participants took part in this experiment. They were asked to complete twenty control trials in which they had to continue counting backwards ...

“Diversification eliminates unique risk. But there is some risk that diversification cannot eliminate”

Diversification of portfolios is one of the effective ways to minimize the risks and increase the returns. However, it is acclaimed that there are certain risks that cannot be eliminated. These risks are called market risks that cannot be overcome through diversification of the portfolio. There are several theories that stress that the diversification of portfolios should be used to bring stability in its returns and lessen the risks. Systematic risks or market risk emerged because of the changes in the economic cycles of the market that are influenced by various factors and activities taken place in the economy ( ...
