Suppose you found a strong correlation between two variables. How would you propose to a colleague that you could investigate if there was a cause and effect?

In a correlational study, we look at whether or not two variables are related, not necessarily what caused them. Suppose you found a strong correlation between two variables. How would you propose to a colleague that you could investigate if there was a cause and effect? An experimental design would allow the researcher to have the most control over exposure to the treatment which would be the independent variable. Researchers use a correlational research design to measure 2 or more variables to investigate the extent to which the variables are related (Seeram, 2019). The researcher should attempt to understand and assess the statistical relationship between the two variables without any type external or internal influences.   A correlation coefficient which is a mathematical measure of the relation between two data sets would entice further investigative research into a experimental design (Mitchell, 1985). Correlation is useful for describing and establishing the statistical significance of the comovement of two variables (Mellinger & Hanson, 2017). If there is a strong correlation between two variables, I would propose investigating a cause and effect relationship through an experimental design.

In my own law enforcement experience I would relate the investigative finding between the correlation of two variables from two different data sets to writing an affidavit for an arrest warrant. Like a researcher who experiences a correlation, a law enforcement officer has more than reasonable suspicion when he or she collects a fingerprint from a crime scene that matches a suspect. Although a fingerprint match was obtained, further investigative research would be required such as processing a search warrant for the criminal instrument and identifying witnesses. Just like quantitative research, all the evidence needs to flow with the results derived from a totality of evidence involved.

This would allow the researcher to measure the outcome or the dependent variable to see if there is a cause and effect relationship. Overall, experimental designs have the purpose of identifying this type of relationship.

Another example from a law enforcement perspective of correlation is the use of informants. We have to measure the information and test if the information is credible and reliable for the purpose of employing further investigative assets and resources. If an informant provides information, it is our job as investigators to test the information through corroborative efforts.  If the information proves correctly then the informant is deemed reliable and credible. Reliability refers to the consistency, stability, or repeatability of results when a particular measurement procedure or instrument is used (Mellinger & Hanson, 2017).

However, if the information provided is unsubstantiated then we attempt to understand the true intention of the information.  It is possible, for example, to obtain consistent but wrong or misleading measurements.

From a Christian worldview perspective, aspects of Scripture that are necessarily independent within a naturalistic world view, such as the structure of the Wheel or the correlation between the sixty-six chapters of Isaiah are found to be united by highly correlated word distributions which adds value to the absolute scientific proof of God’s divine design of His Holy Word (Gareiou & Zervas, 2018).

Discuss how an interstate commerce connection might be found so that the federal civil rights act could be used to invalidate the restriction

The Lake Nixon Club near Little Rock, Arkansas, had a racial restriction on the use of its 232-acre amusement area, which included areas for swimming, boating, sunbathing, picnicking, miniature golf, and snack bars. Discuss how an interstate commerce connection might be found so that the federal civil rights act could be used to invalidate the restriction.

Explain how viable employee relations’ practices have contributed to Wal-Mart’s success as an employer.

  1. The secret to Wal-Mart’s success has long been attributed to its strong culture. Wal-Mart employees are referred to as “Walmartians” which is a sign of a unique culture shared by them. This culture is responsible for a company of this magnitude to be able to sustain its entrepreneurial spirit decade after decade.
    In early days, Wal-Mart achieved remarkable growth rates and was the first trillion-dollar company in the world. With amazing success came criticism. Wal-Mart once held the record for being sued the maximum number of times. Its practices and culture were held responsible for killing small local retailers. It was also criticized for gender-based discrimination, it’s overtime policies, and using sweatshop products.

Write an essay analyzing the mise-en-scene in Rear Window.

Write an essay analyzing the mise-en-scene in Rear Window. To focus this broad assignment, choose one shot to analyze and include an image of it in the essay. You can pick a shot on your own or you can choose one of the ones I’ve randomly selected below. (In either case, be sure to include the image in the paper so I can refer to it as I read your analysis.) Pay attention to how the shot is framed, what kind of shot is featured and what the composition of the objects in the frame says about what Hitchcock wants us to notice and value.In other words, after describing what you see ,try to make sense of it as it relates to important themes in the film. Hitchcock is famous for creating elaborate storyboards like the one on the cover of our textbook from Psycho (1960). Every shot is meticulously detailed before production ever starts. So what is he trying to say with your shot?
