Research proposal:Title: Research on Usage of Computers on the ground floor in UOW library to verify whether more computers are needed or not.Author:Introduction:Now a days every library has computers as they help to keep track of student records and e-books are easily available where as to find a hardcopy of a book one has to spend time or it may happen that a particular book’s 3 copies are available in the library but all of them are issued in such cases e-books are very much helpful and to use e-books one need to use computer. It ensures to achieve active learning, developing academic and personal goals set by themselves.Libraries give public access to personal computers. The library’s public access computers are equipped with basic productivity or educational software. University libraries gives the students access to the computers on the basis of who come first.In order to check whether the students are getting proper facilities and whether they are able to use the facilities properly. In such cases we find out the means which give an idea about the whole population, as mean is based on all observation. We check whether the mean is supportingour belief or not.Relevant paper Review: 1: “Skaik Y., “The bread and butter of statistical analysis “t-test”: Uses and misuses”, Pak J Med Sci 2015;31(6):1558-1559”In the above mentioned article, one sample t-test is taken as “the bread and butter” of statistical analysis . It is true in many aspects. Three types of the t-test, which are used for comparing a single population mean or two population means are discussed here. Also under which specific conditions and criteria. each t-test can be used is also mentioned. Here we get, One sample t-test is used to compare a single mean to a fixed number or gold standard. It is also mentioned that if the sample size is reasonable (at least 15), the one-sample t-test shouldbe avoided if there are presence of outliers. So we should take care of this.2: “ Skaik Y., “The panacea statistical toolbox of a biomedical peer reviewer”. Pak J Med Sci 2015;31(4):999-1001 ”From the above mentioned paper we gain knowledge about the p-value. It is the predicted probability if H0(prior belief) is true. It is used to assess the statistical significance.
Research problem:Our research problem is focused on analyzing the number of computers which have been occupied on the ground floor in the UOW library. Aim of the Research:Suppose the university authority wants to know whether there is need of more computers on the ground floor in the UOW library . The university authority takes a decision that a test will be done and the use of computers would be analyzed to check whether there is actual need of more computers on the ground floor in the UOW library.The university authority’s belief is that 70% of the computers are occupied in the library and suppose it is claimed by the officials that more than 70% of the computers are occupied in the library.The methodology and procedure of the study:Here we do not take time variable into consideration though we report the time along with the data . We collect the data randomly in the 24-hour system. For our research problem we will collect data as discussed above on the number of computers that are busy during different times on the ground floor in the UOW library. Using the data at hand we will analyze it properly by hypothesis testing. We will test the belief of the University officials (Null hypothesis) against the claim of the library officials.Here as we will collect data samples so we will have the sample sd(standard dev.) and the samplemean number of computers that are busy on an average. We will then conduct an appropriate one-sample-t test of mean to come to a decision.Here we take our null hypothesis as simple hypothesis and alternative hypothesis as more than type.As here we have information about the sample standard deviation hence we will use t test otherwise if we had information about the population standard deviation then we should have used one sample z test. Here from the sample we will find out the sample mean and sample standard deviation and use it to find out the statistic associated with the test. Then we will find out the p-value. Here suppose we obtain the value of statistic obtained from the values of our sample is t and the Statistic is T.Then p-value=P(T>t) [As, our alternative hypothesis is greater than type]Now if the p-value<α=0.05 then we say that ,we support the claim at 5% level of significance in the light of the given data.Here we assume the following as these assumptions are required before applying the appropriate t test mentioned in the research proposal.Assumptions :1. The data are continuous .
