What do industry participants need to address? What is causing the gap? What is the disruption?

Industry Gaps in Practice

Current State of Practice. From the scenario and your independent research, what is the current state of practice? How does it work today?

Identify the library databases you used to support your independent research. Why are these databases appropriate?

Desired State of Practice. Based upon your independent research, what is the targeted or desired state of practice?

What do industry participants need to address? What is causing the gap? What is the disruption?

how do you see the utility, value, and application of strategic decisions relating to gaps in practices? What did you learn from this assignment?

What statistic would you use if you had three normally distributed (scale) independent variables (weight of participants, age of participants, and height of participants), plus one dichotomous independent variable (academic track) and one dependent variable (positive self-image), which is normally distributed?

Selecting and Interpreting Inferential Statistics
Respond to the following short answer questions from Chapter 5 of the Morgan, Leech, Gloeckner, & Barrett textbook:

Compare and contrast a between-groups design and a within-subjects design.

What information about variables, levels, and design should you keep in mind in order to choose an appropriate statistic?

Provide an example of a study, including the variables, level of measurement, and hypotheses, for which a researcher could appropriately choose two different statistics to examine the relations between the same variables. Explain your answer.

What statistic would you use if you wanted to see if there was a difference between three ethnic groups on math achievement? Why?

What statistic would you use if you had one independent variable, geographic location (North, South, East, West), and one dependent variable (satisfaction with living environment, Yes or No)?

What statistic would you use if you had three normally distributed (scale) independent variables (weight of participants, age of participants, and height of participants), plus one dichotomous independent variable (academic track) and one dependent variable (positive self-image), which is normally distributed?

Explain your answer.
