Excel Statistical Functions
The Excel CORREL Function. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is a statistical measurement of the correlation (linear association) between two sets of values. where x and y are the sample means of the two arrays of values.


Description
If an array or reference argument contains text, logical values, or empty cells, those values are ignored; however, cells with the value zero are included. If array1 and array2 are empty or have a different number of data points, PEARSON returns the #N/A error value. The formula for the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, r, is: where x and y are the sample means AVERAGE(array1) and AVERAGE(array2).


-
1 First, add three columns that will be used to determine the quantities xy, x2 and y2, for each data point.  Next, use Excel to evaluate the following: Sx, Sy, S(xy), S(x2), S(y2), (Sx)2, (Sy)2. Recall that the symbol, S, means summation. Additionally, the term xy is the product of x and y, that is: x * y.


-
Given a set of data with n data points, the slope, y-intercept and correlation coefficient, r, can be determined using the following: (Note that the limits of the summation, which are i to n, and the summation indices on x and y have been omitted.) Implicitly applying regression to the sample data.


The Excel CORREL Function
Excel Correl Function Example. Columns A and B of the above spreadsheet on the right contain two arrays of values. These are plotted in the chart below: The Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient of the values in columns A and B of the spreadsheet can be calculated using the Excel Correl function, as follows:


The Excel CORREL Function
If the value of r is close to +1, this indicates a strong positive correlation, and if r is close to -1, this indicates a strong negative correlation. Basic Description. The Excel Correl function calculates the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient for two sets of values. The syntax of the function is: CORREL( array1, array2 ) Where array1 is a set of independent variables and array2 is a set of dependent variables. These arrays should be of equal length.


-
1 Be careful with your order of operations!  Now use Excel to count the number of data points, n. (To do this, use the Excel COUNT() function. The syntax for COUNT() in this example is: =COUNT(B3:B8) and is shown in the formula bar in the screen shot below.


-
1 The syntax for COUNT() in this example is: =COUNT(B3:B8) and is shown in the formula bar in the screen shot below.  Finally, use the above components and the linear regression equations given in the previous section to calculate the slope (m), y-intercept (b) and correlation coefficient (r) of the data.


Description
This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the PEARSON function in Microsoft Excel. Returns the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient, r, a dimensionless index that ranges from -1.0 to 1.0 inclusive and reflects the extent of a linear relationship between two data sets.

A mother duck will lay an egg or two every day until all 7 to 15 eggs have been laid. She wants all the eggs to hatch at the same time so the mother duck does not start sitting on the nest and incubating the eggs until all are laid. Eggs hatch about 28 days after incubation (sitting on the eggs) begins.

How old is a gosling before it can fly?
<br />Their parents moult, taking three to four weeks to lose old feathers and grow new ones. After moulting, the parents can teach the goslings to fly, estimating that the baby animals are perhaps 60 days old or older when they fly successfully. Goslings are hatched in the spring and immediately take to water where they are safer.


How long before baby birds learn to fly?
hey are 7 months old As soon as all flight feathers have grown. Birds of prey are usually fully grown and leave the nest at about 12 weeks.

The lyrics of this song remind me of the first and only time that I danced disco.

I have a 2012 Nissan Altima and as of this evening the radio light is on with the clock showing, the acc light is on above the push button and the door ding is going off. My car won't turn over it won't start. What is it that I do now because I don't know what is wrong.


Altima: I have a 2012 Nissan Altima with a push start ignition.
Resolved Question: I have a 2012 Nissan Altima with a push start ignition. When I went to get in the car yesterday to leave it would not crank. When I pushed the button it made all the inside lights come on & they will not go off. It doesnt feel like you can press the brake it almost feels stuck.


Nissan Altima
The Nissan Altima /ËÉËltÉ¨mÉ/ (Japanese: æ¥ç£ã»ã¢ã«ãã£ã) is a mid-size car which has been manufactured by Nissan since 1992. It is a continuation of the Nissan Bluebird line, which began in 1957. The Altima is the top selling Nissan model and primarily competes in the mainstream mid-size sedan class in the United States against its main rivals, the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord. It was the second best-selling car in the United States in 2011.


-
CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009-2010 Nissan Altima appears to have a defect where it occasionally refuses to start. We know the feeling, but it's just not acceptable in a car. For the fix, Nissan dealers enjoy replacing the steering lock control unit for $800. Stranded Nissan owners have found that banging like hell on the steering lock unit at the base of the steering column will do the trick.

With pressing the brake and pushing the start button to start the engine as I typically do to start the engine, the engine does not start but the other electronics are working. Luckily, I was in my driveway and not somewhere stranded with my 3 year old!!! I pushed the button to start many times and nothing happens!


Nissan Altima
In 1992, Nissan discontinued the Stanza, replacing it with the US-built Altima, while remaining a compact car. It also replaced the Nissan Bluebird as well as the Nissan Primera. The first Altima was produced on November 15, 1992, as a 1993 model.

The dominance of male thinkers on lists of important pioneers in early psychology certainly makes it seem that way, but the reality is that women have been contributing to psychology since its earliest days. Estimates suggest that in the early 1900s, 1 out of every 10 psychologists in the United States was a woman. However, many of these pioneering women in psychology faced considerable discrimination, obstacles, and difficulties.

What hormone stimulates sperm production?
In the male, the principal sex hormones are the androgens, of which testosterone is the most important. The androgens are steroid hormones produced mainly by the Leydig cells(interstitial cells located near the seminiferous tubules) of the Testes. Testosterone and other androgens are directly responsible for the primary and secondary sex characteristics of the male.

Warm water expands?
Well if it didn't expand when it was frozen then its density would not decrease. I'm sure everyone is familiar with ice cubes that are less dense then water floating on the surface. If ice did not do not then there would be an awful positive feedback loop that would freeze more of the world's ocean waters. The frozen water on hte surface is able to be heated by the sun's radiation, but if were not able to float it would sink to the bottom. quasi426, Apr 13, 2006 Jan 28, 2007 #9


Does Water Expand or Contract When Heated?
Quick Answer. Water contracts when it is heated from freezing point to 7 degrees above and begins to expand as it heats up further. Water expands when it freezes, as well as when it heats up, except for the 7 degrees above freezing where it contracts.


Why does water expand when heated?
it expands when heated because the molucules are moving faster and need room to move. it contracts when frozen because the mocules dont move at all, so there need not be any room in between them. #2 It actually has a LOCAL MAXIMUM point in its density as a function of temperature curve.


Does Water Expand or Contract When Heated?
Watching this, it is easy to see when the water is contracting. It melts and gets smaller. It is easier to put 3 cups of liquid water into a bowl than it is to put 3 cups of frozen ice into a bowl. Water will slightly expand when it is boiled, although it is not as noticeable of an expansion as when the water freezes. One of the biggest instances of water heating up and expanding is the effect of global warming. As the planet becomes hotter, so does everything else around it.


Why does water expand when heated?
water does expand when it freezes because water is polar and so pushing the molecules close together actually makes them feel a force of repulsion, hence they move apart, so it expands. In general, materials expand when heated and contract when cooled...you are trying to apply the logic that if water expands when its cooled then it must contract when heated...but this is only true between the liquid and solid states. If you heat water to be a gas (steam) then it expands just like normal materials do when heated. When heated you put more energy into the atoms so if you put them in a box it will push harder against that box (which you see as pressure) or if you allow the box to expand then it will to equalize the pressure (i.e. expanding makes the pressure less).

Water is not like other liquids. It isn't, well, a normal liquid. In other liquids, the basic principle holds true that heated liquids expand and cooled liquids contract. But water doesn't exactly work the same way. Water does expand when heated and contracts when cooled, but not at all temperature levels. Water has a magic range where the rules do not apply. The main reason for this difference is its makeup. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen, and they exist as a loose bond. The range that is different is between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius. Water at any other temperature would expand when it is heated, and contract when cooled. However, at 4 degrees Celsius, water is at its most contracted state, but it isn't frozen. It doesn't freeze until zero degrees Celsius.


Warm water expands?
Science Advisor. Yes, warm water expands, just like warming anything. And, as you cool water, it contracts- until it starts to freeze- then, because it forms rather large crystals it suddenly expands (have you ever stopped to think how much of life depends on that fact?).


Warm water expands?
It has to do with the polar nature of water - one end of the molecule is positively charged, the other is negatively charged. When they get clsoe together and start to line up (i.e. crystalize), they don't line up in the most compact pattern, they line up according to their charge attractions, which takes up more room.

Gray (unit)
The gray (symbol: Gy) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy per one kilogram of matter.he gray was named after British physicist Louis Harold Gray, a pioneer in the field of X-ray and radium radiation measurement, and their effects on living tissue. It was adopted as part of the International System of Units in 1975.


The surprising dangers of CT scans and X-rays
Radiation risk 101. CT scans can expose you to as much radiation as 200 chest X-rays. CT emits a powerful dose of radiation, in some cases equivalent to about 200 chest X-rays, or the amount most people would be exposed to from natural sources over seven years.nd whole-body CT scans expose you to much more radiation than regular CT scans. One study determined that for every 1,250 45-year-old adults who have the exam, one will die of cancer as a result.


Modern CT - Hiroshima revisited, or a walk in the park?
Radiation from a single CT scan is equivalent to about 100 to 250 plain chest films, and is showing no signs of decreasing with modern CT scanners. Many physicians seem unaware of this radiation dose, and the associated risks.(Lee et al, 2004).he Gray (Gy) is a measure of absorbed dose, the older unit being the rad, an acronym for radiation absorbed dose. There are 100 rads in one Gray. A Gray represents the transfer of 1 Joule of energy per kilogram.


Lethal Danger of CT Scans
Typical X-rays, however, are becoming a relic of the past. CT (computerized tomography) scans provide a much better picture of your insides, but use much more radiation. A CT scan of your abdomen, for example, exposes you to an amount of radiation equivalent to that of 500 or more chest X-rays.16.ypical X-rays, however, are becoming a relic of the past.

CT Scans Get a Closer Look
A CT scan takes many xârays at different angles to produce a threeâdimensional image. Because many xârays are taken, the radiation exposure from a CT procedure is higher than from a conventional xâray. A chest CT scan typically delivers more than 100 times as much radiation as a conventional chest xâray.ecause cancer from radiation takes a number of years to develop, it is particularly important to minimize unnecessary CT scans in younger patients. The average radiation dose from a single CT scan was as high as what an individual would receive from 74 mammograms or 442 chest xârays.


Radiation Dose in X-Ray and CT Exams
The scientific unit of measurement for radiation dose, commonly referred to as effective dose, is the millisievert (mSv) . Other radiation dose measurement units include rad, rem, roentgen, sievert, and gray.o explain it in simple terms, we can compare the radiation exposure from one chest x-ray as equivalent to the amount of radiation exposure one experiences from our natural surroundings in 10 days.

Are CT Scans Sometimes Too Risky?
The doses varied widely between the different types of scans. The median doses (half higher, half lower) ranged from 2 millisieverts (the measures of radiation used in CT scans) for a routine head CT scan to 31 millisieverts for a multiple-phase abdomen and pelvic scan.1 | 2 | 3.

Entrance doses during CT scans are almost never measured. Actual doses --- even from the same equipment for the same patient --- can vary many-fold according to the settings selected for kVp, mAs, pitch, filtration, slice-width, and some other variables.he righthand column divides CT effective doses by the effective dose from a ten-hour airplane flight in the US (0.003 cSv). The lowest ratio is 50, for just one scan. The ratio for one CT study involving 2 or 3 scans would be 2 or 3 times higher than the ratios in the righthand column.

Internment of Japanese Americans
The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the relocation order in Hirabayashi v. United States and Korematsu v. United States. Early in 1945, Japanese-American citizens of undisputed loyalty were allowed to return to the West Coast, but not until March 1946 was the last camp closed.n February 19, 1942, Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, which forced all Japanese-Americans, regardless of loyalty or citizenship, to evacuate the West Coast. No comparable order applied to Hawaii, one-third of whose population was Japanese-American, or to Americans of German and Italian ancestry.


Japanese Relocation Centers
Coal was hard to come by, and internees slept under as many blankets as they were alloted. Food was rationed out at an expense of 48 cents per internee, and served by fellow internees in a mess hall of 250-300 people. Leadership positions within the camps were only offered to the Nisei, or American-born, Japanese.he evacuation order commenced the round-up of 120,000 Americans of Japanese heritage to one of 10 internment campsâofficially called relocation centersâin California, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming, Colorado, and Arkansas.


Child Custody Relocation Laws
Some states determine whether to allow a child custody relocation based on distance. For example, if the new location is within a certain distance (100 miles or more), even if within the same state, a court may factor that in its determination.Other states consider any move out of the state a significant factor, even if it's barely across state lines, and may prevent a move altogether.or example, if the new location is within a certain distance (100 miles or more), even if within the same state, a court may factor that in its determination.

Writing a thesis statement. Now that we have defined what a thesis statement is we can focus on the most important part. We can learn where to begin writing and how to write a strong statement for yourself. Pick your topic. The first step to writing is picking the area in which you want to write your essay on.


2.2: Developing a Thesis
Sometimes, it is a good idea to use two sentences. For example, you might identify your main point in one sentence and then identify your supporting points in a second sentence. (Some might call this second sentence a preview sentence.) Other times, your thesis statement will only be one sentence.
