Measurement and Measurement Error PHYS 1313 S06 Prof. T.E. Coan Version: 16 Jan ’06 Introduction Physics makes both general and detailed statements about the physical universe and these statements are organized in such a way that they provide a model or a kind of coherent picture about how and why the universe works the way it does. These sets of statements are called “theories” and are much more than a simple list of “facts and figures” like you might find in an almanac

1. How important are accurate data for on-line businesses? Accuracy of data is very important for on-line businesses because if the data is at risk it is difficult to manage or handle .The data should be accurate, complete, easily accessible, consistent and relevant as all these characteristics of data promote revenues for the businesses. For example in the case of Media Tech Direct Works it uses the customer contact information i.e. addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses to establish points

Bad Data AMU DEFM420 Big Data refers to volume, variety and velocity of available data. The issue with that is that any emphasis is put on volume or quantity of data. The quantity is a very vague element of Big Data, there is no precise requirements to purely volume based data. What should be considered in big data, the complexity and depth of the data? If the content of data is deep and containing detailed information it holds more purpose. When we analyzes data we as a culture

Is Point of Care Testing (POCT) a Real Opportunity? I feel that POCT will become an important means for delivering rapid laboratory testing to the patient. Overall, the physicians and clinics we interviewed were interested in the value that POCT offered to their patients, including rapid results and a smaller sample size. Most clinics are already utilizing CLIA-waived (simple testing), such as the rapid flu and strep tests. I feel that the demand for faster test results will help the POCT

wire because it is easy to control and keep accurate because of the micrometer, which is very precise. In the parachute investigation I would have to measure the distances with a ruler and the micrometers precision is 0.01mm which is a very high precision whereas the ruler has a lower precision of 1mm. We could have used the material as a variable but when we get a graph of results it will be a bar chart and you can’t get a numerical correlation because one side of the chart is not numbers

Effects of misleading question on eyewitness testimony. Aim: this was to find out if misleading questions distorts the accuracy of EWT. Method: loftus and palmer carried out a lab experiment which involved 45 students. They were shown 7 clips of a traffic accident. Afterwards the participants were given a questionnaire to answer series of questions. Although a critical question was asked, which was “how fast was the car going before hitting the other car”. Here the P’s were being split, one group

Mark Hamrick & Dakata Brodie 17 Nov 2013 Assignment 2.1 Summary of Time-Based Activity-Based Costing This article’s purpose is to explain the new version of Activity-Based Costing that uses approximations to determine time-driven Activity-Based Costing. Base on rate of technological growth and dealing with companies on larger scales, the traditional method of ABC is very cumbersome. The new time-driven activity-based costing is a much more effective technique. The article further
