Resolved Question: Simple Analysis of Variance?
To investigate maternal behavior of laboratory rats Bob separated the rat pup from the mother and recorded the time in seconds required for the mother to retrieve the pup. He ran the study with 5, 20, and 35 day old rat pups because he was interested in whether retrieval time varies with age of the pup. The data are given below, where there are six pups per group. Using a .05 significance level determine if there is a significant difference between the groups. When answering the question: a. state the statistical hypotheses b. the decision rules c. construct a summary table d. indicate your calculated value and interpret the results e. what proportion of variance in the time to retrieve the rat pups can be accounted for by age? 5 Days Old: 15, 10, 25, 15, 20, 18 20 Days Old: 30, 15, 20, 25, 23, 20 35 Days Old: 40, 35, 50, 43, 45 40 (more...)

Voting Question: How to make windows prompt for password and username when accessing restricted folder on a network share?
Let say I have a network share with bunch of folders and subfolders. User A, who has basic user permissions, can only access folder F1 on that share. User B has access to folders F1, F2, and F3. So: I am in a meeting and logged in as user A (because of different restrictions and for security reasons). However, a supervisor comes to this meeting and wants to show us some statistical data. She will have to go to folder F2 to see it. But I am already doing my stuff under user A account. How to make windows prompt for a pass/user when I try to access the folder F2, so my supervisor can just log in with his credentials? I don't want to log out. Why Linux has this feature, but Windows... ? THANKS A LOT. (more...)

Resolved Question: How can there be a modern theory of Evolution that does not solve the mystery of morphogenesis?
The modern theory of evolution lends itself to the statistical shift in allelic frequencies to account for the traits that distinguish species and genera. In other words, it is entirely gene-focused. But while genes play an important role, either coding for amino acid sequences or regulating the expression of other genes, this hardly in itself accounts for what cells do with the proteins and how they group together to form specific and holistic biological structures that define the bodily organs of living creatures. The "form" of a mouse is quite distinct from that of man even though comparative genomics shows they both code for 99% of the same or similar proteins. Genes do not encode the forms of living organism...they just provide the molecular machinery that cells use in the process of morphogenesis: But what force of nature directs and organises cells so that an acorn becoming an oak tree? ANSWERERS: You are describing the chemical changes which accompany morphogenesis and make it possible - what you do not address is how or why cells group togetherto form not just tissue but an organ such as the brain, heart, liver etc... Btw 1% of 25,000 ( the number of both the mouse and human genomes) is 250....are you seriously telling me that a couple of hundred genes is the biological difference between a mouse and a man? NOVANGELIS: I'm not talking about the chemical reasons as to why cells adhere to one another to form tissue - I want to know why these cells are grouping in such as a way as to form not just the tissue but also a structure like an organ. you do get it now, don't you?

Voting Question: Are polls using racism to get sympathy votes, poll states Democrats are racist?
Poll: Racial views steer some white Dems away from Obama By RON FOURNIER and TREVOR TOMPSON, Associated Press Writers WASHINGTON (AP) ? Deep-seated racial misgivings could cost Barack Obama the White House if the election is close, according to an AP-Yahoo News poll that found one-third of white Democrats harbor negative views toward blacks ? many calling them "lazy," "violent," responsible for their own troubles. The poll, conducted with Stanford University, suggests that the percentage of voters who may turn away from Obama because of his race could easily be larger than the final difference between the candidates in 2004 ? about two and one-half percentage points. Certainly, Republican John McCain has his own obstacles: He's an ally of an unpopular president and would be the nation's oldest first-term president. But Obama faces this: 40 percent of all white Americans hold at least a partly negative view toward blacks, and that includes many Democrats and independents. More than a third of all white Democrats and independents ? voters Obama can't win the White House without ? agreed with at least one negative adjective about blacks, according to the survey, and they are significantly less likely to vote for Obama than those who don't have such views. Such numbers are a harsh dose of reality in a campaign for the history books. Obama, the first black candidate with a serious shot at the presidency, accepted the Democratic nomination on the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, a seminal moment for a nation that enshrined slavery in its Constitution. "There are a lot fewer bigots than there were 50 years ago, but that doesn't mean there's only a few bigots," said Stanford political scientist Paul Sniderman who helped analyze the exhaustive survey. The pollsters set out to determine why Obama is locked in a close race with McCain even as the political landscape seems to favor Democrats. President Bush's unpopularity, the Iraq war and a national sense of economic hard times cut against GOP candidates, as does that fact that Democratic voters outnumber Republicans. The findings suggest that Obama's problem is close to home ? among his fellow Democrats, particularly non-Hispanic white voters. Just seven in 10 people who call themselves Democrats support Obama, compared to the 85 percent of self-identified Republicans who back McCain. The survey also focused on the racial attitudes of independent voters because they are likely to decide the election. Lots of Republicans harbor prejudices, too, but the survey found they weren't voting against Obama because of his race. Most Republicans wouldn't vote for any Democrat for president ? white, black or brown. Not all whites are prejudiced. Indeed, more whites say good things about blacks than say bad things, the poll shows. And many whites who see blacks in a negative light are still willing or even eager to vote for Obama. On the other side of the racial question, the Illinois Democrat is drawing almost unanimous support from blacks, the poll shows, though that probably wouldn't be enough to counter the negative effect of some whites' views. Race is not the biggest factor driving Democrats and independents away from Obama. Doubts about his competency loom even larger, the poll indicates. More than a quarter of all Democrats expressed doubt that Obama can bring about the change they want, and they are likely to vote against him because of that. Three in 10 of those Democrats who don't trust Obama's change-making credentials say they plan to vote for McCain. Still, the effects of whites' racial views are apparent in the polling. Statistical models derived from the poll suggest that Obama's support would be as much as 6 percentage points higher if there were no white racial prejudice. But in an election without precedent, it's hard to know if such models take into account all the possible factors at play. The AP-Yahoo News poll used the unique methodology of Knowledge Networks, a Menlo Park, Calif., firm that interviews people online after randomly selecting and screening them over telephone. Numerous studies have shown that people are more likely to report embarrassing behavior and unpopular opinions when answering questions on a computer rather than talking to a stranger. Other techniques used in the poll included recording people's responses to black or white faces flashed on a computer screen, asking participants to rate how well certain adjectives apply to blacks, measuring whether people believe blacks' troubles are their own fault, and simply asking people how much they like or dislike blacks. "We still don't like black people," said John Clouse, 57, reflecting the sentiments of his pals gathered at a coffee shop in Somerset, Ohio. Given a choice of several positive and negative adjectives that might describe blacks, 20 percent of all whites said the word "violent" strongly applied. Amon (more...)

Resolved Question: Is it a typical tactic of anti-feminists to quote debunked research to assert male superiority?
With regard to the continuing debate on IQ differences between genders, It was one of the summer's top stories. In August, two British academics announced that men are significantly cleverer than women and that male university students outstrip females by almost five IQ points. 'Girls need manpower' and 'IQ tests: women just don't get it' claimed the headlines. The announcement was the latest round in a battle that has come to dominate psychology in recent years and has triggered countless workplace arguments and marital rows over the years. In this case, the formidable nature of the statistics used by the study's authors - Dr Paul Irwing and Professor Richard Lynn - seemed to land a fairly hefty blow for the men-are-cleverer camp. 'It confirms what we've long suspected,' said a (male) writer in the Sun. 'The male of the species is cleverer than the female. It's a no-brainer.' But not any more. Last week the work of the two academics was denounced in startlingly fierce terms in the journal Nature just as a paper officially outlining their work was published in the British Journal of Psychology The attack - which claims that Irwing and Lynn's work is 'deeply flawed' - is unusual. Science journals rarely attack studies at the same time as they are being published by a rival. Neither do they often use strong or intemperate terms. A delayed and measured approach is the norm in scientific circles. Nevertheless, Nature insisted that its confrontational approach was justified. Supposed sex differences in IQ attract wide attention and are likely to be widely cited, it pointed out. 'We were made aware that Irwing and Lynn's results were based on a seriously flawed methodology, and had the opportunity to provide timely expert opinion when their paper became publicly available,' said Tim Lincoln of Nature's News & Views section. The author of the Nature article was even more critical. 'Their study - which claims to show major sex differences in IQ - is simple, utter hogwash,' said Dr Steve Blinkhorn, an expert on intelligence testing. The study by Irwing, of Manchester University, and Lynn, an Ulster academic who has previously claimed that white people are cleverer than black people, was based on a technique known as meta-analysis. The pair examined dozens of previous studies of men's and women's IQs, research that had been carried out in different countries - including Egypt, Belgium, Australia and the United States - between 1964 and 2004 and published in a variety of different journals. Then they subjected these studies to an intense statistical analysis. From this, the pair decided that their work showed men outnumber women in increasing numbers as intelligence levels rise. According to Irwing and Lynn, there are twice as many men with IQ scores of 125 - a level typical for people with first-class degrees - than women, while at the level of 155, an IQ associated with genius, there were 5.5 men for every woman. The announcement was startling because it had been previously accepted that there were few differences between male and female IQs. Most research on the subject of the intellectual differences between the sexes had concentrated on other aspects of brain activity." However, last week's publication of Blinkhorn's critique in Nature represents a major change in attitudes to their claims. He points to a number of 'serious flaws' in the approach taken by Lynn and Irwing. For a start, he accuses them of carefully selecting those IQ studies that they allowed in their meta-analysis. In particular, he says they chose to ignore a massive study, carried out in Mexico, which showed there was very little difference in the IQs of men and women. 'They say it is "an outlier" in data terms --in other words, it was a statistical freak,' Blinkhorn said. 'It was nothing of the kind. It was just plain inconvenient. Had it been included, as it should have been, it would have removed a huge chunk of the differences they claim to have observed.' In addition, Blinkhorn said the pair were ignoring a vast body of work that had found no differences. 'Psychologists often carry out studies that find no differences between men's and women's IQs but don't publish them for the simple reason that finding nothing seems uninteresting. But you have to take these studies into account as well as those studies that do find differences. But Lynn and Irwing did not. That also skewed their results.'
