This document provides guidelines for a mathematics statistics project. The project requires students to organize and present information using tables, graphs, diagrams and appropriate notation. Students must demonstrate understanding of practical mathematics applications and use technology. They should use appropriate statistical methods, form a logical argument supported by evidence, and analyze personal research within a 1500 word limit. The project introduction should describe the topic and steps. Students must collect and logically organize relevant data, perform both simple and complex mathematical processes, interpret results, discuss validity, and communicate their work clearly. Example project ideas are provided.

ObjectivesOrganize and present information in tabular, graphical and/or diagrammatic formsUse appropriate notation and terminologyDemonstrate an understanding of the practical applications of mathematicsUse appropriate technological devices as tools.Demonstrate appropriate use of statistical methods.Form a logical argument, supported with concrete information

RequirementsThe project is a piece of work based onPersonal research, analysis and evaluationof data.Each project must contain:A titleA statement of the taskMeasurements, information or dataAnalysis of the information, measurements or dataEvaluation of your analysis to form a solid argument

LengthThe project should be no longer than 1500 words, excluding diagrams, graphs, charts and tables. However it is the quality of the work which is most important.

IntroductionYour introduction should include:A Title page with Title of your project; your name.A clear but brief description of your projectDescription of the steps you will take (make sure it includes what you are going to do and how you will do it – the intro can be written after the rest of the project)

Information/AssessmentCollect sufficient data to be able to draw conclusions from it.Organize your data in a logical fashion.Verify the accuracy of your data (this is difficult if you do a survey of your peers – how do you ensure random sampling)Confirm that data is relevant to your taskProvide a copy of raw data/questionnaire as appendix.

Mathematical processesChoose techniques that are appropriateVerify/check your results to confirm there are no errors in your calculationsUse both simple and sophisticated processesExplain the relevance of your processes

Interpretation of resultsProvide explanations of what your calculations showGive enough detail in your interpretation so that a reader would agree with your conclusion

ValidityValid means does the project do what it set out to do?Are your conclusions accurate?Perhaps comment on how you could improve your project next time.

CommunicationSuggested order:Title page IntroductionOrganized data Mathematical Process Interpretation of results Discussion of validity Appendices (if required)Include footnotes as necessary and cite your sourcesHave someone else read your project for flow/readability, someone who is not familiar with this course

Project ideasChoose something in which you are interested; for which you will be ableto gather data; that there are mathematical processes simple and sophisticated which are relevant.Are yellow M & M’s less common than other colours?Does that amount of water plants get affect their rate of growth?What is the relationship between GNP and AIDS infection rates?How quickly does water drain from a bucket?How long does it take for a cup of coffee to cool to room temperature?What is the pattern in the rise and fall of tides?What is the stopping distance of a particular car?Analysis of stock market fluctuationsA comparison between calorie intake and genderDoes eating breakfast have any effect on high school grades?Infant mortality and GDPInvestigation of reaction timesSports and gradesAir travel – distance compared with priceCost efficiency of vehiclesMobile phone charges in different countries

Data collection is the process of systematically gathering and measuring information to answer questions and evaluate outcomes. There are three main sources of data: secondary data collected by others, internal data from within an organization, and primary data collected through questioning and observation. Questionnaires can be structured, with predetermined questions and responses, or unstructured, allowing respondents to answer freely in their own words. Properly designing questionnaires requires skill, as researchers must determine what information is needed, the questionnaire type and format, question content and response format, sequencing, and whether it will be disguised or structured. Factors like cover letters, question number, logical arrangement, simplicity, sensitivity, instructions, footnotes, objectivity, calculations, pre-testing, cross-

statisticPwalmiki

Basic statistics is the science of collecting, organizing, summarizing, and interpreting data. It allows researchers to gain insights from data through graphical or numerical summaries, regardless of the amount of data. Descriptive statistics can be used to describe single variables through frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Inferential statistics make inferences about phenomena through hypothesis testing, correlations, and predicting relationships between variables.

time series analysisSACHIN AWASTHI

This document provides an overview of time series analysis and its key components. It discusses that a time series is a set of data measured at successive times joined together by time order. The main components of a time series are trends, seasonal variations, cyclical variations, and irregular variations. Time series analysis is important for business forecasting, understanding past behavior, and facilitating comparison. There are two main mathematical models used - the additive model which assumes data is the sum of its components, and the multiplicative model which assumes data is the product of its components. Decomposition of a time series involves discovering, measuring, and isolating these different components.

Factor analysis using SPSSRemas Mohamed

The document describes conducting a factor analysis on SPSS to measure different aspects of student anxiety towards learning SPSS. A 23-item questionnaire was administered to over 2,500 students. Initial analysis of the correlation matrix found no issues with multicollinearity. The document then provides instructions for running the factor analysis in SPSS, including extracting factors, rotating the factors, and interpreting the output.

Time Series - 1Birinder Singh Gulati

This document provides an overview of time series analysis. It defines a time series as numerical data obtained at regular time intervals that occurs in many domains like economics and finance. The goals of time series analysis are to describe, summarize, fit models to, and forecast time series data. Time series are different from other data as observations are not independent. The document discusses the various components of time series including trends, seasonality, cycles, and irregular variations. It provides examples of decomposing time series into these components to better understand the underlying patterns in the data.

GLM_2020_21.pptxssuser95caf2

This document provides an overview of generalized linear models (GLIMs) and their components. GLIMs extend linear regression to non-normally distributed dependent variables through the use of link functions and alternative error distributions. They allow modeling of variables on different scales, such as binary, categorical, count and continuous data. Key aspects of GLIMs include the systematic component relating predictors to the response, the error distribution, and the link function which transforms the response for a linear regression formulation. Common link functions and error distributions for different types of responses are discussed.

Point and Interval EstimationShubham Mehta

This document discusses point and interval estimation. It defines an estimator as a function used to infer an unknown population parameter based on sample data. Point estimation provides a single value, while interval estimation provides a range of values with a certain confidence level, such as 95%. Common point estimators include the sample mean and proportion. Interval estimators account for variability in samples and provide more information than point estimators. The document provides examples of how to construct confidence intervals using point estimates, confidence levels, and standard errors or deviations.

Inferential statictis ready goMmedsc Hahm

This document discusses inferential statistics and different types of samples that can be drawn from a population. Inferential statistics involves making inferences about a population based on a sample. It consists of generalizing from samples to populations, estimating parameters, hypothesis testing, and determining relationships. Two main methods are estimation, which uses a sample to estimate a parameter and construct a confidence interval, and hypothesis testing, which involves assuming and testing a null hypothesis against collected data. Types of samples discussed are simple random samples, systematic samples, and stratified random samples.

Survey sampling techniques ashraf143

This document discusses various sampling techniques used in survey research. It covers probability sampling methods like simple random sampling, systematic random sampling, stratified sampling, cluster sampling, multistage sampling, and probability proportionate to size sampling. It also discusses non-probability sampling techniques like purposive sampling, snowball sampling, deviant case sampling, sequential sampling, and theoretical sampling. The document contrasts quantitative and qualitative survey methods and covers concepts like sampling frames, population parameters, point and interval estimation, and determining minimum sample sizes.

Factor Analysis with an ExampleSeth Anandaram Jaipuria College

Factor analysis is used to describe the relationship between many variables in terms of a few underlying factors. It involves 3 stages: 1) generating a correlation matrix, 2) extracting factors from this matrix using principal component analysis, and 3) rotating factors using varimax rotation. The output includes communalities, a scree plot, factor matrices, and a component plot. The rotated factor matrix shows two factors: Factor 1 loads on variables related to community, nature, and tolerance, while Factor 2 loads on variables related to loyalty and dependability to close others. Equations are presented relating the original variables to these two factors.

Tut6 structural breaksSchool of Economics, North-West University

Structural breaks in data can lead to multiple regression relationships that need to be identified and controlled for. A first step is to plot the variables and look for any displacements over time which could indicate a structural break. Adding a single dummy variable can help account for an identified break based on the historical context, but having multiple dummies makes the results difficult to interpret. Dummies should only be used to represent breaks that can be reasonably explained by the background of the time series.

Dr. Abhay Pratap Pandey introduces statistical inference and its key concepts. Statistical inference allows making conclusions about a population based on a sample. It involves estimation and hypothesis testing. Estimation determines population parameters using sample statistics. Hypothesis testing determines if sample data provides sufficient evidence to reject claims about population parameters. The document defines key terms like population, sample, parameter, statistic, and discusses properties of estimators like unbiasedness and consistency. It also explains hypothesis testing concepts like null and alternative hypotheses, types of errors, and steps to conduct hypothesis tests on a population mean. An example demonstrates hypothesis testing for a population mean using a z-test.

Time Series Analysis.pptxSunny429247

Time series data are observations collected over time on one or more variables. Time series data can be used to analyze problems involving changes over time, such as stock prices, GDP, and exchange rates. Time series data must be stationary, meaning that its statistical properties like mean and variance do not change over time, to avoid spurious regressions. Non-stationary time series can be transformed to become stationary through differencing, removing trends, or taking logs. Common time series models like ARIMA rely on stationary data.

MANOVA SPSSDr Athar Khan

This document provides an overview of various multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) techniques, including one-way MANOVA, two-way MANOVA, and multivariate analysis of covariance (MANCOVA). It defines each technique, provides examples, and outlines the assumptions that must be met to use each one. Key assumptions for MANOVA include having continuous dependent variables, categorical independent groups, independence of observations, adequate sample sizes, no outliers, multivariate normality, linear relationships between dependent variables, no multicollinearity, and homogeneity of variance-covariance matrices. The document also describes how to test assumptions and interpret MANOVA results in SPSS.

Research! Linked Assignments Annotated Bibliography Length: 5 citations and annotations Value: 15% Research Paper Length: 2-3 pages Value: 20% Research Infographic Assignment Length: One poster page Value 10% Annotated Bibliography Provide a working bibliography of FIVE (5) sources, with annotations indicating why you believe the work you have chosen is a suitable one for your research paper. Use the criteria from the course notes to prove that your source is appropriate. Each entry should include: 1. Full bibliographical information: author, title, publisher, date, internet address (URL) or library database. For this class we will be using APA format. 2. Two to four sentences that summarize what the article/book/video (or other item) is about. Two to four sentences that discuss the usefulness of this article to your paper. One or two sentences identifying why you determined whether this was an appropriate source. Each of the annotations should be about a paragraph, no more than half a page. You will be judged on accuracy, quality of research and critical ability. Note that all five works are expected to be judged suitable. Sample See handout Research Paper Using the Powerpoint presentation for inspiration, research a technology, idea or concept that you would like to see implemented in the field of public health, food security, public art, or climate change adaptation to address an issue or problem you have identified. Your goal is to write a short paper in which you try to convince your audience to adopt this new technology, concept or idea. This paper is based on the concept of a policy briefing, though we will be adapting the format to suit our needs. Audience: your audience should be a person or group of people who have the capacity to implement the technology, idea or concept you are proposing. For example, if you think that a great climate change adaptation idea is to build porous sidewalks and alleys as they have in Chicago and other cities, then you would address your paper to city council. If you think that Camosun College should have more public art, then you would address your paper to Camosun College Administration. So do a bit of research and discover whom to address your paper to. Tone and Terminology: Make sure that the tone you use in your writing is appropriate. In most cases, your tone should be professional and concise. Avoid jargon that your audience would not know. (And please remember that I need to understand what you are writing). Your goal is to communicate, not to confuse. Purpose: Your purpose is to persuade your reader to adopt the technology, idea or concept that you are presenting. Make sure to inform your reader what the current issue or problem is, as well as how it will be addressed by adopting the technology, idea or concept you propose. To do this, you will have to research what the current dialogue or conversation on the topic is. A strong persuasive paper will inclu.

Lecture 4 INSECT CUTICLE and moulting.pptxArshad Shaikh

The insect cuticle is a tough, external exoskeleton composed of chitin and proteins, providing protection and support. However, as insects grow, they need to shed this cuticle periodically through a process called moulting. During moulting, a new cuticle is prepared underneath, and the old one is shed, allowing the insect to grow, repair damaged cuticle, and change form. This process is crucial for insect development and growth, enabling them to transition from one stage to another, such as from larva to pupa or adult.

Happy May and Happy Weekend, My Guest Students. Weekends seem more popular for Workshop Class Days lol. These Presentations are timeless. Tune in anytime, any weekend. <<I am Adult EDU Vocational, Ordained, Certified and Experienced. Course genres are personal development for holistic health, healing, and self care. I am also skilled in Health Sciences. However; I am not coaching at this time.>> A 5th FREE WORKSHOP/ Daily Living. Our Sponsor / Learning On Alison: Sponsor: Learning On Alison: — We believe that empowering yourself shouldn’t just be rewarding, but also really simple (and free). That’s why your journey from clicking on a course you want to take to completing it and getting a certificate takes only 6 steps. Hopefully Before Summer, We can add our courses to the teacher/creator section. It's all within project management and preps right now. So wish us luck. Check our Website for more info: https://ldmchapels.weebly.com Get started for Free. Currency is Euro. Courses can be free unlimited. Only pay for your diploma. See Website for xtra assistance. Make sure to convert your cash. Online Wallets do vary. I keep my transactions safe as possible. I do prefer PayPal Biz. (See Site for more info.) Understanding Vibrations If not experienced, it may seem weird understanding vibes? We start small and by accident. Usually, we learn about vibrations within social. Examples are: That bad vibe you felt. Also, that good feeling you had. These are common situations we often have naturally. We chit chat about it then let it go. However; those are called vibes using your instincts. Then, your senses are called your intuition. We all can develop the gift of intuition and using energy awareness. Energy Healing First, Energy healing is universal. This is also true for Reiki as an art and rehab resource. Within the Health Sciences, Rehab has changed dramatically. The term is now very flexible. Reiki alone, expanded tremendously during the past 3 years. Distant healing is almost more popular than one-on-one sessions? It’s not a replacement by all means. However, its now easier access online vs local sessions. This does break limit barriers providing instant comfort. Practice Poses You can stand within mountain pose Tadasana to get started. Also, you can start within a lotus Sitting Position to begin a session. There’s no wrong or right way. Maybe if you are rushing, that’s incorrect lol. The key is being comfortable, calm, at peace. This begins any session. Also using props like candles, incenses, even going outdoors for fresh air. (See Presentation for all sections, THX) Clearing Karma, Letting go. Now, that you understand more about energies, vibrations, the practice fusions, let’s go deeper. I wanted to make sure you all were comfortable. These sessions are for all levels from beginner to review. Again See the presentation slides, Thx.
