Use of the Normal Curve in Determining Normal Ranges(1). Statistical criteria are sometimes used for determining what is "normal" for the population. Often, when responses are normally distributed, the normal curve is used to determine the range of normal (and abnormal) responses. This is one reason why the curve is called the "normal" curve. Normal curve criteria are used for determining normal ranges for both medical testing and educational te...

Question 1: Commuting Time Probability A professor commutes daily from Clementi Station to his office. The avenge time for a one-way trip is 24 minutes. with a standard deviation of 3.8 minutes. Assume the distribution of trip times to be normally distributed. (a) Compute the probability that a trip will take at least 0.5 hour. If the professor has to be in his office at 8.30 am and he leaves Clementi Station at 8.15 am daily. compute the...

Legal Requirements for Pet Ownership in South AfricaThis is a case study on animal protection act 1962,many homes in South Africa keep dogs as pets. However, rules and regulations should be observed as stipulated by the animal protection act of 1962 (Buys 2020, p.91). For instance, any person rearing a dog but does not follow the set actions and its bylaws are deemed to getting a penalty of about R4000 (Nieman et al. 2019). Otherwise, such...
Question 1: Normal Linear Regression Model for 'FoodExpenditure' Data1. Consider the “FoodExpenditure” data built into R. It is available within the betareg package and can be brought into your workspace using the command: data ("FoodExpenditure”, package="betareg") After applying this command, you should be able to access the data under the name “Food- Expenditure”. (The data have also been posted as a text...
Questions: Introduction• When anticipating an opponent’s intentions in fast ball sports, expert performers are thought to initially rely on contextual information (e.g., player positioning,shot sequencing) with relevant postural cues becoming available closer to the moment of the opponent’s racket-ball contact (Müller & Abernethy, 2012).• Research is therefore required which examines the cognitive mechanisms underp...

Steps of quantitative research processSteps of quantitative research process Problem identification. This involves identifying a research problem and developing research questions. Literature review. Once the problem is identified, the research learns about the topic under investigation. This is done in order to provide foundational knowledge in the topic. Clarity of the problem. Often the identified problem is broad. Once existing literatu...
