(2001) Reicheld parallels a statisically significant correlative relationship between lack of employee loyalty with customer loytalty, saying that the two are meshed, statisically, namely that companies with low employee loytalty ratings show a correspondinly low customer loytalty rating as well. (Reichheld, 2001) Long-term loyal customers are more valuable in financial terms than other customers to a company
The divorce rates in the United States still are much higher than other countries, yet relatively the news is good. The recession appears to be encouraging couples to remain together (Bartlein)
Divorce numbers continue to change. For example, there are now more older women getting divorced (Gerrie)
High interest rates also mean that the cost of using debt when financing investment is high to the organization since they will pay back in large amounts. This means that Electronic Arts will avoid using debt to finance investments and other needs since it will be expensive to the organization when the interest rates are high (Rambaldini, A
Criminal Statistics and Behavior Some of the most misunderstood crimes are those which have a psychological basis, including crimes committed by persons with mental disorders, sexual offences; violent offences; and domestic violence (Bartol & Bartol 2007)
Nor are all crimes committed by persons with mental illness necessarily violent, despite the much-publicized nature of several recent shootings in the press. Substance abuse is associated with the highest rates of criminality, while schizophrenia, affective disorder, and personality disorders are associated with the lowest risks, although it has also been found that persons with mental disorders have a higher risk of criminal behavior in countries with deinstitutionalized mental health services (Hodgins & Muller-Isberner 2000: 206;12)
First of all, it is important to remember that not all persons with mental disorders are criminals. In general, "however narrowly defined, mentally disordered offenders (MDOs) are heterogeneous in demographics, diagnoses, offense characteristics, risk, and clinical needs" (Rice et al
45% versus African-Americans. Also, "numbers also vary widely depending on the crime, with blacks responsible for more murders and robberies (55% and 61% of these crimes, respectively) and whites committing more rapes and aggravated assaults (56% and 60%)" (Updegrave 1994)
After learning about the various types of statistics, analyses, hypothesis testing, and so forth it becomes quite clear that statistics is a logical discipline that begins with basic assumptions and building blocks and then builds upon them more advanced and practical methods of understanding the world. At the basic level descriptive statistics serve as the foundation for the entire field (Black, 2011)
Measures of central tendency describe how sets of data have a propensity to "clump" or gather towards the middle of a distribution of observations or scores. The three major measures of central tendency are (Runyon, Coleman, & Pittenger, 2000): the mode, which is the most commonly occurring score in a distribution of scores or observations; the median, which is the single score that cuts the distribution in half (50% of the scores are above and 50% of the scores are below the median, and; the mean, which is the arithmetic average of the scores in a distribution (Black, 2011)
Descriptive statistics allow for the understanding of how data or observations are shaped and summarize their general characteristics; however, one cannot make inferences regarding the comparison of the different distributions of scores or variables using descriptive statistics alone (Tanner & Youssef -- Morgan, 2013). In order to understand how different distributions of scores relate to each other and compare the researcher must use inferential statistics which allow for a further comparison of different distributions of scores (Tabachnick & Fidell, 2012)
For example, it is true that the chance that an event does not occur is (100% - the chance that the event occurs). This is a consequence of the second and third axioms" (Stark, 2007)
As one recent study showed "for each pair of objects, the judge decides which of the two objects is preferred (or judged to be bigger, better, faster, etc.); the aim is to estimate the desirability or worth of each object and this to rank the objects in preference order" (Dittrich, Francis, Hatzinger, Katzenbeisser, 2012, p
Additional data as to the company's marketing expertise in areas around the globe, and how many "average women" live in those areas would be beneficial in determining whether the production of one shoe size for the greater good of all women, is an acceptable venture. As one recent study found "although the normal distribution is convenient for specifying correlations among the random effects, the use of other distributions for the random effects greatly enriches the class of models" (Lee, Noh, 2012, p
Using an approach like the frequent outcome approach might work in this instance. As one study determined "we analyze sequences of values that are almost-uniform and we discuss a prediction method called the frequent outcome approach, in which the outcome that has occurred the most in the observed trials is the most likely to occur again" (O'Neill, 2012, p
There were just as many female purchases made over seven as there were purchases made under seven. Paul Erdos, a reknowned mathematician, once stated that "a mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems" (Peterson, 1998, p
There are a number of statistical methods that would help in determining just what that audience is and who would fall into that category. According to Charles Wheelan, author of Naked Statistics; "Many businesses must assess the risks associated with assorted adverse outcomes" (Wheelan, 2013, p
Reflecting on these concerns, this paper aims to determine the effects of divorce on the lives of children. Between the years 1950 to 1983, divorce broke up more families than parental death did in the earlier years of the century (Newberger, 1986)
Literature Review During the height of the presidential campaign, both candidates continued to spend very heavily on all forms of media, often balancing expensive television time with a continual stream of updates and challenges to each other. Both had websites from the initial phases of the campaign, as did the majority of presidential candidates, all of which embraced the basics of social media rapidly, as this was shown in previous research to be correlated with the ability to reach multiple demographic segments quickly (Williams, Gulati, 2008)
The information is usually not sufficient to understand the whole concept behind the research. Hence, additional information is required in order to know the full aim and target results of the study (Babbie, 2010)
