Procedure in Finding F test Value for the Analysis of Variance

Step 1: Find the mean and variance for each sample.

Step 2: Find the grand mean.

Step 3: Find between- group variance.

Step 4: Find within- group variance.

Step 5: Find the F test value

The degrees of freedom are:
       d.f. N= k-1   where k is the number of groups, and
       d.f D= N-k   where N is the sum of the sample sizes of the groups

Test Using Contingency Tables

When data can be tabulated in the table from in terms of frewuencies, several hypothesis can be tested by using the chi-square test. Two such tests are the independence of variables test and the homogenety of proportions test.

Test for Independence

·         The test of independence is used to determine whether 2 variables are independent of or related to each other when a single sample is selected.

Steps:

·      1.   State the hypotheses

·      2.  Find the degree of freedom

·     3.   Find the expected value

·     4.   Find the test value

·    5.     Find the critical value

·    6.     Make a decision

·     7.   Summarize

Test for homogenety of proportions

·         It is used ti determine whether the proportions for variables are equal when several samples are selected from different populations.

Steps:

·        1.  State the hypotheses

·         2. Find the critical value

·      3.   Find the test value

·       4.   Make a decision

·       5.   Summarize

Majority of establishments is engaged in Water collection, treatment and supply

           The 2010 Annual Survey of Philippine Business and Industry (ASPBI) covered a total of 255 Water supply; Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities establishments with total employment of 20 and over.
            Among industries, water collection, treatment and supply recorded the highest number of establishments at 232 or 91.0 percent of the total. Waste collection followed a far second with 11 establishments (4.3%). Waste treatment and disposal ranked third with 7 establishments (2.7%) while materials recovery had the lowest number with 5 establishments (2.0%). Figure 1 illustrates the percentage distribution of Water Supply; Sewerage, Waste Management and Remediation Activities establishments by industry group in 2010.

           At the regional level, Central Luzon accounted for the highest number of establishments at 52 or 20.4 percent of the total. This was followed by CALABARZON with 45 establishments (17.6%) and Western Visayas with 20 establishments or 7.8 percent.

Statistical Facts About

Google+

                   It is expected that Google’s new social network Google+ will hit 400 million users by the end of 2012. It needs to be kept in mind that Google+ is more about being “core” to Google’s social web strategy as it aims to embed social signals into its whole web and search strategy as it aims to continue to be relevant in an increasingly social and mobile web.

Google makes it mandatory to join Google+ when you register for a Gmail account which really amounts to it being a forced membership. This non organic strategy means that its engagement levels are extremely low at 3 minutes per month compared to Facebook at 405 minutes, in fact they are less than MySpace.

It must be also kept in mind that Google+ is the glue that connects Google’s other social and web properties such as YouTube, Android and of course search.

Some Google+ Facts and Figures

• It was launched on June 28, 2011
• Google+ reached 10 million users by July 14, 2011
• 67% of Google+ users are male
• Google “+1″ button is served more than 5 billion times daily
• It is gaining 625,000 users per day
• In less than one day the Google+ iPhone app became the most popular free application in the Apple App store
