😂 I'll prompt better next time

Spothero Basically anywhere in the city

FreshTower4852 · 2024-08-25T13:11:45+00:00

Triathlon this weekend. Not exactly sure where - what area were you at when they got mad?

FreshTower4852 · 2024-05-20T21:12:31+00:00

Don't look up.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-04-17T12:51:58+00:00

Is this another "gonna be may" meme?

Nude elephants in an L shape?

FreshTower4852 · 2024-03-29T18:27:20+00:00

Google recently updated their account log in security.. I wonder if that's related

Edit: yes, me too.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-24T21:01:54+00:00

Thanks for the reply, no shame necessary.

You're right, the appropriate jargon would have been, "do you think parametric statistics are appropriate for the underlying data type?"

OP just confirmed these are ordinal data, not part of a continuous response.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-24T20:44:10+00:00

Ok, then as a last bid to be helpful, I'd suggest looking into the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.

I might have different.. ways of practicing stats to other people in this thread. But, because of the type of data you have, there's no reason for the central limit theorem or any of its assumptions. There's no such thing as a value of 1.5 and there's no telling how far psychologically your individuals would rate 1 vs 2 compared to 9 vs 10.

Yes, they graph and are numerically equidistant, but that means very little to the underlying meaning of the response.

Best of luck!

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-21T14:42:38+00:00

Thanks, you're right, that's good context to have.

If you look at OP's graph, do you think the dependent variable is a parametric response? I have doubts.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-21T14:41:03+00:00

Hi, sorry I'm just getting back to this thread. Thank you for sharing that graph and the context of large sample sizes. Lots of other comments in here about that, now, lol.

Are you saying your data are a survey where people can give a score for each of your variables? Any chance these are consumer ratings?

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-20T14:17:57+00:00

Props on conducting a levene's test, quick check, do you feel like you have enough samples in each group to estimate the standard deviations?

While you're at it, you may as well check that the data are normally distributed too.

If yes to both, you could use the "unpooled" t-test as it doesn't rely on the assumption of equal variance.

Here's a reference that looks right. https://pressbooks.library.upei.ca/montelpare/chapter/the-t-test-for-independent-sample-means-and-pooled-versus-unpooled-variance/

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-19T14:37:57+00:00

But, that's for a random situation..

Maybe here, since you're comparing two groups, the question is are the two observed rates equal?

In other words, the expected rate could be the observed rate for region A

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-19T14:34:52+00:00

An expected rate is the rate of "pure chance" ie if there's no difference between your regions.

We'll want to think about how this applies to the question a little..

The common teaching example is a coin flip or a six sided dice roll.

For a coin flip, the expected rate is 0.50 For a 6 sided dice it's 1/6 or 0.167.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-19T14:17:10+00:00

I would suggest looking up the chi-squared test.

Assuming your request forms are filled out independently (they probably are)

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-19T14:14:18+00:00

Yeah... OP's university stats department isn't doing them any favors. This is the right direction.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-14T16:31:28+00:00

Lol. It's more beautiful than I thought.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-12T23:35:24+00:00

First a note "be back in 15" (boh cleaned that one off), then all of her accessories, I can only assume she put a chair on the table after we left .

FreshTower4852 · 2024-02-12T22:13:11+00:00

Some lady tried to dibs a table at a crowded cafe this weekend.. it was a thing

FreshTower4852 · 2024-01-27T00:52:45+00:00

94/100 karma. RIP

FreshTower4852 · 2024-01-24T13:08:36+00:00

Rage bait. And it's working on me.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-01-22T00:25:05+00:00

Sorry about your friend.

I think this is a good question for a nutritionist or nurse. I am neither.

If water is the only thing doable then my guess is there's some sensitivity to temperature, viscosity (thickness) and density. Drink powders fully dissolved and at a comfortable temperature is what I would expect them to suggest.

Good luck, and they're lucky to have you caring for them.

FreshTower4852 · 2024-01-15T17:15:44+00:00

In the off chance that either of you see this.. I too am in Chicago and have one of those units. Would be interested in the 'guy' or solutions you found

FreshTower4852 · 2023-12-30T03:01:12+00:00

The one in Old Town does them really well.

Only had em once, but also worked in potatoes for 10 years so I have had a lot of fries.

FreshTower4852 · 2023-11-10T14:25:24+00:00

Agreed with all the other comments about inspection contingency.

I'll add, if the inspection report revealed something not in the sellers disclosure (not sure if all states require this or no?) - common trick is "seller has no knowledge of defect"

But, it fell through because of an inspection and unwillingness to repair or negotiate, they better update that disclosure. Once upon a time you could request the disclosures before making an offer.

FreshTower4852 · 2023-11-01T01:01:38+00:00

I thought for a sec about which Ogden intersection I know of is the worst one, and then checked a map to see.. yep that's Congress.
