Chapter 1
1. Explain and give an example for each of the following types of variables:
a. Nominal: Measurement where a number is assigned to represent something or someone else. An example of nominal could be credit card numbers, social security numbers, or zip codes.
b. Ordinal: Measurement that shows the order or rank of items. An example of ordinal could be ranking places in a contest, or test scores.
c. Interval: Measurements that do not have a true zero and are composed of equal units. An example of interval could be temperature as

Mr. Hancock, how has lean 6 sigma certifications helped you in current field of work? Has it helped you move up the ladder quickly?
Sally is the encourager of the team, she encourages her team to follow through on their ideas. She gets the job done in a timely matter, but does not act as an individual that you cannot depend on. She displays a positive attitude toward the group and project. She does this by examining the project specifics and creating beneficial information the team can use in order to complete the project. She sets deadlines for the tasks at hand and encourages everyone a part of the team to complete the project in a timely matter. This individual is very organized and shows a dependable personality. As the leader of the project I would show appreciation of this role by delegating responsibilities to Sally. I would show her I have confidence in her work
Response: “Alan Potter (2014) wrote that John MacArthur warned us that if we lose the biblical foundation while preaching this will lead to the decline of preaching which will contribute to the weakness and worldliness of the church, so for a church to be spiritual healthy, preaching should return to its proper biblical foundation (https://www.linkedin.com). Paul told Timothy that by preaching the Scripture, man and women could be wise for salvation (2 Tim. 3:15 NKJV). They learn the way of salvation through the Bible which the Holy Spirit taught the preacher to use, they should not use their own words dictated by man’s wisdom (1 Corinth. 2: 13
c. Interval: These are measurements don’t include zeros and have equivalent units. A good example would be that of point scales.
Thank you for sharing this story with us. Your client has a very sad story. Through your kind words, I can see that she is a strong individual who does not want to show any signs of weakness. However, she is putting on a brave face even though she is going through the darkest part of her life right now. Although it may seem like she will eventually get past this, recovery for athletes with eating disorder are highly unlikely. She will fall into a cycle of doing poorly in competitions which will cause more pressure, this pressure will lead to being more reliant on control of her intake of food. She needs everyone important in her life to gather for an intervention for her. However, by the looks of this case it seems she has very few people in
For confidentiality, I will use pseudonyms for the students I chose to profile. The first student I chose was Emma. When I began my field experience in February, Emma had just started third grade at Washington Elementary. She was from a well-educated family and was said to have been homeschooled. Emma was intriguing to me, because academically she was very behind and barely knew how to spell, use conventions and struggled to read and write. She was very sweet, but it was evident she was timid, which was probably due to being new as well as behind academically. The second student I chose is Connor. Connor was a very sweet student, but at times struggled in school. One of the main reasons why I chose Connor was because he reminded me of how my
Fry Brothers heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. employs Larry Clark and George Murnen to make service calls to repair furnaces and air conditioning units in homes. Tom Fry, the owner, would like to know whether there is a difference in the mean number of service calls they make per day. Assume the population standard deviation for Larry Clark is 1.05 calls per day and 1.23 calls per day for George Murnen. A random sample of 40 days last year showed that Larry Clark made an average of
During the reading for part 2, I found the “duh” portion interesting and useful when used carefully. Arguing that the information is not new could help discredit your opposition, however, this tactic is useless when that is your only disagreement. Expressing that the information has been discovered before, when you agree with everything else the speaker says, seems like an unnecessary comment. Does the information being discovered before influence the authors information? The “twist it” section was incredibly helpful. By taking a piece of evidence that was used in your opponent’s argument and using it to support your argument helps validate your stance. It’s like using their weight against them.
To identify, a project idea based on my work and personal life will involve motivating my sister in having a healthier diet. By way of example, I will encourage her in eating more fruits and vegetables to strengthen her immune system and lower her blood pressure. Additionally, motivating her to a healthier eating habit will not only help her wellbeing but strength my abilities as a care provider. Considering that, her diet now consists of high sodium foods such as ramen noodles and fast food, she has been more restless and stressed. Henceforth, this project will build her health and offer her the opportunity to feel more energized, lower blood pressure, and even having more strength to practice walking with her leg braces versus her wheelchair.
Both T-Mobile and Sprint have been attracting maximum customers since last summers with its cheaper unlimited data plans. But now, Sprint is moving one step further with more cheap prices.

Measurement is the process of observing and recording the observations that are collected as part of a research effort. There are four major levels of measurement: nominal, ordinal, interval, and ratio. The nominal scale places people, events, perceptions, etc. into categories based on some common trait. It captures information about whether the object belongs or does not belong to a category. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is used with the nominal scale because it requires that some category is compared to at least one other category; a perfect example is male vs. female. Ordinal scale ranks data from highest to lowest and it also contains all of the information captured in the nominal scale. The ordinal scale gives you some idea of where the data lies in relation to each other. However, some data from ordinal level information is loss because it ranks from highest to lowest and the comparison in between is not compared. The interval scale indicates the distance one object is
Measurement is the foundation of any scientific investigation. Everything we do begins with the measurement of whatever it is we want to study. Definition: measurement is the assignment of numbers to objects. Scales of measurement refers to ways in which variables/numbers are defined and categorized. Each scale of measurement has certain properties which in turn determine the
