The student will calculate a 90% confidence interval using the given data.
The student will determine the relationship between the confidence level and the percentage of constructed intervals that contain the population mean.

[link] lists the heights of 100 women. Use a random number generator to select ten data values randomly.
Calculate the sample mean and the sample standard deviation. Assume that the population standard deviation is known to be 3.3 inches. With these values, construct a 90% confidence interval for your sample of ten values. Write the confidence interval you obtained in the first space of
[link] .
Now write your confidence interval on the board. As others in the class write their confidence intervals on the board, copy them into
[link] .

Discussion questions
The actual population mean for the 100 heights given
[link] is
μ = 63.4. Using the class listing of confidence intervals, count how many of them contain the population mean
μ ; i.e., for how many intervals does the value of
μ lie between the endpoints of the confidence interval?
Divide this number by the total number of confidence intervals generated by the class to determine the percent of confidence intervals that contains the mean
μ . Write this percent here: _____________.
Is the percent of confidence intervals that contain the population mean
μ close to 90%?
Suppose we had generated 100 confidence intervals. What do you think would happen to the percent of confidence intervals that contained the population mean?
When we construct a 90% confidence interval, we say that we are
90% confident that the true population mean lies within the confidence interval. Using complete sentences, explain what we mean by this phrase.
Some students think that a 90% confidence interval contains 90% of the data. Use the list of data given (the heights of women) and count how many of the data values lie within the confidence interval that you generated based on that data. How many of the 100 data values lie within your confidence interval? What percent is this? Is this percent close to 90%?
Explain why it does not make sense to count data values that lie in a confidence interval. Think about the random variable that is being used in the problem.
Suppose you obtained the heights of ten women and calculated a confidence interval from this information. Without knowing the population mean
μ , would you have any way of knowing
for certain if your interval actually contained the value of
μ ? Explain.
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

Every time someone flushes a toilet in the apartment building, the person begins to jumb back automatically after hearing the flush, before the water temperature changes. Identify the types of learning, if it is classical conditioning identify the NS, UCS, CS and CR. If it is operant conditioning, identify the type of consequence positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement or punishment
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.

I am taking this course because I am hoping that I could somehow learn more about my chosen field of interest and due to the fact that being a PsyD really ignites my passion as an individual the more I hope to learn about developing and literally explore the complexity of my critical thinking skills
hello. autism is a umbrella term. autistic kids have different disorder overlapping. for example. a kid may show symptoms of ADHD and also learning disabilities.
before treatment please make sure the kid doesn't have physical disabilities like hearing..vision..speech problem. sometimes these
Jharna
continue..
sometimes due to these physical problems..the diagnosis may be misdiagnosed.
treatment for autism.
well it depends on the severity.
since autistic kids have problems in communicating and adopting to the environment.. it's best to expose the child in situations where the child
Jharna
child interact with other kids under doc supervision.
play therapy.
speech therapy.
Engaging in different activities that activate most parts of the brain.. like drawing..painting. matching color board game.
string and beads game.
the more you interact with the child the more effective
Jharna
results you'll get..
please consult a therapist to know what suits best on your child.
and last as a parent. I know sometimes it's overwhelming to guide a special kid.
but trust the process and be strong and patient as a parent.
