It calculates volume in pints, quarts, and gallons as well as weight in ounces, pounds, and tons. The colonists’ English-based system, The...

Aspects of Statistical Estimation

Introduction The process of estimating a population parameter, unknown and fixed, from a sample statistic, known and random, is called statistical estimation. This process involves forming either a point estimate or an interval estimate. The former is a single numeric value, often referred to as the “best guess” at estimating...

In the Eye of a Supernova: An Interview with an Expert

The birth of a star is a truly spectacular occurrence that deservedly garners substantial attention. However, the recent gamma-ray explosion produced by a supernova represents a particularly exciting subject of discussion since it is bound to reinvent the current perception of how supernovas emerge in space (Xi et al. 2)....

Statistical Significance and Meaningfulness

As a reviewer, I would start by stating that statistical significance involves a statistic’s critical value. It helps determine whether the null hypothesis needs to be rejected or fails to get rejected. On the other hand, meaningfulness implies a statistic’s efficiency and applicability to the real world (Laber & Shedden,...

Anthropocene and Human Impact on the Earth System

Summary Today, humanity’s effect on the planet’s ecosystems is so pervasive and dynamic that it may be compared to the power of some of nature’s most formidable forces. However, the term Anthropocene, which was established around a decade ago, has only lately been widely, though informally, used in the global...

Linear Regression in Health Sector

Linear regression, known for its common use in statistics, is a model showing the relationship between predictor (dependent) variable and response (independent) variable. Simple linear regression is the most basic for linear regression, quantifying the relationship between predictor and response variables. When dealing with such relationships, analysts often use correlation...

Introduction Nicholas Copernicus was an astronomer and mathematician who was able to make a model of the universe during the Renaissance. Copernicus wrote his theory in the work De revolutionibus orbium coelestium 1543 (On the rotation of the celestial spheres), where he proposed many hypotheses that revealed the universe’s structure...

Newton’s Second Law Applied to Air Glider

The sum of all forces acting on a body is equal to the product of the mass of the body and the acceleration imparted by this sum of forces. It should also be noted that Newton’s second law is valid for bodies of constant mass, finite dimensions and moving forward....

Study Designs, Their Benefits and Limitations

Step 1 Scientists apply three traditional study designs, namely experiment, quasi-experiment, and non-experimental study. Random assignment and control groups are the distinctive framework elements and tools that distinguish the first category from the others. According to Rogers and Reverz (2019), it is a procedure in which “participants are randomly placed...

Utilization of Statistical Data

Martian Meteorites That Have Landed on Earth

When asteroids and related outer-space objects crashed into Mars eons ago, they sent pieces of Mars’ core into space. These drifting rock pieces occasionally enter Earth’s atmosphere, where gravitational pull draws them inward (Siegel, 2018). Meteorites fall to Earth worldwide, but they are easier to locate in scorching or freezing...
