In order to be able to compare test data between the principal corp program and the cohort program, I first had to eliminate any students who did not have a full set of test data. I deleted entire rows of students, even if the student was only missing one cell worth of data. I then moved all the data up within the spread sheet in order to not leave any gaps between the data. I then copied the total score data for the principal corp students and pasted it onto another Excel spread sheet file. I did the same for the cohort students’ total score data.
I also chose to run a t-test comparison between the two sets of students on the number of questions they answered correct in the category of ethics and integrity. I followed the same procedures as the total score data in order to copy and paste the number answered correctly data. Even though I was not comparing total scores to number correct scores, I was careful to ensure the numbers corresponded to the correct students.
Once the data was ran through the Excel program, the results were put into two different tables; the first table was the results of the

The p-value for the total score t-test was 0.01179. This data shows the results were significant and did not happen by chance. In order to confirm our p-value as accurate, the t-statistic value was 2.65308 which met and exceeded the t-critical value of 2.02809. This solidifies the results as indicating a significant difference between the two sets of total scores data between the principal core students and the cohort students. The p-value for the number of correct answers was 0.09288. This p-value indicates no significant difference between the two sets of data. The t-critical value for the number correct t-test was 2.0117 and the t-statistic was 1.71525. The t-statistic did not meet the t-critical value and therefore, the data also confirms there is no significance between the scores.

Lab 7: Moon Phases was designed to measure the relative position of the Sun and Moon over the course of one phase cycle (i.e. one month, 29.5 days) The idea for Lab 7: Moon Phases was to examine how the illumination of the moon by the Sun produces the different phase cycles we see as the Moon rotates around Earth and as the Earth rotates around the Sun. The observations of the Moon were taken on four different days in the month of February to March capturing four different Moon Phases.
I have been asked to use Ubuntu? One comparison between windows and linux is that Linux is a lot freer than windows because windows are restricted. Another comparison is windows are a lot safer because if something breaks you get paid support whereas on Linux you do not have any support. My experience with Linux is not much as I am entirely a windows user.
Question Set 7 A) What types of methods and tools are used to measure, document and analyze ancient fault activity along the San Andreas Fault and its associated faults? For example, how do geologists determine how long a fault has been active, how often it ruptures, its relative offset motion, and how much offset? Note that the term "ancient" means fault activity that occurred thousands to millions of years ago - long before seismologists were around. Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale: Measures the intensity of an earthquake Richter Scale: Used to measure the magnitude of an earthquake (Tarbuck, 2013)
With widespread use of internet services, the network scale is expanding on daily basis and as the network scale increases so will the scale of security threats which can be applied to system connected to the network. Viruses and Intrusions are amongst most common threats that affects computer systems. Virus attacks can be controlled by proper antivirus installation and by keeping the antivirus up to date. Whereas any unauthorized access in the computer system by an intruder can be termed as Intrusion and controlled by IDS. Intruders can be grouped into two major categories which are external and internal Intruders.
1)Campaign Campaign is when a person who holds political offices goes to different place giving their ideas and opinions about subjects hoping to gain the favor of the people. 2)Poll Poll is something that is used to determine how much support a person in political office has. Or how much support a person in a political office has lost. 3)Reapportionment Reapportionment is when a political office person has been reappointed to their current office holding.
4. The sample means from project pass students are not equal and therefore will be statistically significantly different. I would run an independent sample t-Test using an average of the scores from the project pass instruction students as one variable, and an average of the scores of the general education instruction
posure condition. No difference was found in the two groups (² (1, N = 4102) = 1.68, ns, r = .02) arguing that the two samples were the same when considering
4.1 SEX-Dose sex differ will have influence on student’s score? From the histogram graphs above, we can confirm that mean in four subjects are trend to normally distributed. To test whether the mean for reading, writing, math and science is the same for males and females, an independent samples t-test tool is suitable because it can compare the means of a normally distributed interval dependent variable for two independent groups. H0: Females have no significant difference and high mean score than males in reading score H1:
1. Perception categories that significantly influenced walking frequency were landuse, and aesthetics and amenities. The safety, directness and continuity perception categories were not significant but had weak to moderate associations with land use and aesthetics perception. This implies improving perception of one category is bound to improve or negatively impact the perception of a correlated category. For example landuse perception was correlated with directness perception - which is intuitive, given that directness measured quick and easy access to land uses.
Take a gander at the test scores once more; the middle score might be
In addition, I made an electronic file for each student and house the data in an organized spreadsheet. I scanned copies of completed assessments into individual
Standardized tests prove to be ineffective in properly gauging what students actually know and more or less categorize students instead. Students may harbor knowledge but lack the help required to show the depth of their understanding during an assessment and therefore result in being marginalized. Furthermore, on a standardized test, there can only be a singular correct answer. However, this type of mindset could be better when it comes to actual life problems and tribulations.
If the students scores are different each test, the test is not reliable. According to John (2015), “Validity is the extent to which how well an assessment fulfills the functions for which it is being used.” To making sure that a test is valid, the teacher should check if it measures
One of the significant disadvantages of standardized testing is not enhance study achievement. According to Education Week (2000), it raised several concerns about testing objective they suggest that “The main objective of these tests is to rank, not to rate; to spread out the scores, not to gauge the quality of a given student or school.” The real purpose of testing is not focusing on benefit of the student can obtain from testing. However, they only focus and challenge on the ranking.
Students are most essential asset for any educational institute. The social and economic development is directly linked with student academic performance. The students’ performance plays an important role in producing the best quality graduates who will become great leader and manpower for the country thus responsible for the country’s economic and social development. Student academic performance measurement has received considerable attention in previous research, it is challenging aspects of academic literature, and science student performance are affected due to social, psychological, economic, environmental and personal factors. These factors strongly influence on the student performance, but these factors vary from person to person (Irfan Mushtaq and Shabana Nawaz
