The research can be conducted by first conducting an investigation of existing literature and statistics to determine the likelihood of each variable. Values can then be assigned to each variable to indicate the greatest to least likelihood.
Qualitative research can then be conducted regarding the greatest likelihood of each explanatory variable. This can be done by means of surveys, questionnaires and interviews to both criminology professionals, political leaders, and the general public.
The study design will then follow a sequence led by the specific explanatory variable chosen. Gun control, for example, can be used as the first explanatory variable to be confirmed or denied by the study results.
The selection of a variety of explanatory variables, as well as the various types of research method will be implemented to minimise selection bias. Furthermore, the focus on more than one type of variable as focus for the study also provides...
By taking into account more than one type of survey and data gathering method, the most likely explanatory variable for the crime rate range in the various states can be obtained.
Further study might include more than one state, or use states with median crime rates as a balancing factor for the findings obtained for the states with very high or very low crime rates. Such studies could have a wide range of implications for criminology professionals in the United States, as well as the effort to reduce violent crime.
This can also be applied among different countries, where the effect of gun control on political or religious violence can be investigated.

Nonparametric Analysis of Data Set The datasets consist of the following variables: • Sub_num • Gender • Major • Coffee, and • Num_cups. The datasets are used for the nonparametric analysis to investigate whether the choices of college majors are different between males and female's individuals. The analysis is carried out with the chi-square test and the document presents the output as follows: Gender * Major Cross-tabulation Count Major Total Gender Total Chi-Square Tests Value Df Asymp.

If the numbers or the data will not be constant, the results will not be paralleled and will surely have discrepancy on its accuracy. Meanwhile, experimenter bias is a big threat to the accuracy and/or precision of the report's result. An example of the threat is not being able to identify all the factors that might affect the result. An experiment can be said biased if he/she has already an
Crime -- Abstracts and Introduction Dependent variable: Crime Independent Variable: halting rising crime rate Control variable: government spending on law enforcement Tentative hypothesis: If government spending on law enforcement increases, then the overall rising crime rates could be halted. Rasinski (1989) studied the relationship between the effects of question wording/phrasing on public support for government spending. He points out that analysis of question phrasing studies around the General Social Survey expenses objects demonstrated constant phrasing
Intro to R1Three commands that were used in the video were:1) plot(Age, LungCap, main=�Scatterplot�). This was used to obtain scatterplot, modeling the relationship between Age and Lung Capacity, with Lung Capacity being the Y variable (dependent variable) on the axis.2) cor(Age, LungCap). This was used to calculate the Pearson�s correlation between the two variables.3) attributes(mod). This command tells which particular attributes are stored in the object (the linear model).2Simple regression
value differences between merging with other companies inside of Western Europe vs. investing in merging with companies in BRIC nations. Thus, mergers and acquisitions from within Western Europe were gathered. These were then compared to mergers of Western European companies with BRIC nations, including Brazil, Russia, India, and China. The data set chosen was to include a span of ten years, from 1999 to 2009. First and foremost, there
women's entrepreneurs: Evidence from an East African Economy (Ethiopia) It is an established fact that the Micro and Small Enterprise (MSE) sectors can help large parts of the populace in underdeveloped economies like Ethiopia as the means for livelihood. African women are beleaguered with societal and cultural challenges and overall entrepreneurial attributes, and that is reflected in the lack of their entrepreneurship development. This study hence takes up the issues
