Statistics for Research: Correlation Analysis and Quality Improvement

This article discusses correlation analysis and quality improvement in statistics research. It covers the strength and significance of correlations, measures of quality associated with relationship and task conflict, and ways to improve quality in the workplace. The analysis includes correlations for relationship conflict and task conflict, as well as descriptive statistics for quality improvement. The article assumes that correlation and causation are key elements of growth in an organization.

Introduction and executive summery.
When using the correlation, we seeks to produce the coefficient R which is responsible for
measuring the strength and the direction of relationship between two pair of data and continuous
variables. This means that by extension, the correction will evaluate the presence of statistics
evidence for a leaner relationship that exist among the same pairs of population. This analysis
produces the result of coefficient to a different type and kinds of variable. This variable that are
based on certain codes and variables presented in the excel spreadsheet. The variable to analyze
includes, relationship conflict, task conflict, the target relationship conflict, the target task
conflict, and the inadequate preparation time of the people involved (Mukaka, 2012). It is
important to note that before the data is analyzed, it is necessary to keep the following points into
consideration: That there are two or more variables which are continuous, That both cases have
variables on both sides, That there is an existence of leaner relationship between the variables,
That the variables have independent cases.

1. What is the strength of the correlations between the variables?
1. What is the strength of the correlations between the variables?
In most cases, the strength of correlations seeks to measure the strength that exist in a
relationship. To get the strength of coefficient correlation, we need to assume that the
relationship is leaner (Rathus, 2017). On general observation in most cases is that correlation is
always strong when T1 correlation r is higher than 0.7. In this case the value of R=1. This means
that the strength R =1. This means that the correlation is very strong.
2. What measure of quality is most associated with relationship conflict? Task Conflict?
The measure of quality that is mostly associated with relationship conflict and task conflict is the
scale and coefficient quantity.

3. What is the significance of the correlations?
From the above analysis, the correlation significant at 0.01
To test the significance of two variable, we introduced the coefficient to test the strength of the two
relationship.
Correlations for RC1 and RC3.

4. How might you improve quality in the workplace? What does your answer assume about
correlation and causation?

STATISTICS RESEARCH
There are so many ways to improve quality in work place. From the analysis the organization
must ensure that the rate of disagreement should reduce to minimal level (Lee Rodgers &
Nicewander, 2018). When employee agree with each other, they will be able to achieve
maximum output as well as quality. Secondly, the level of friction according to the analysis seem
hg than expected to achieve higher quality, management must ensure that friction among
employee is reduced to a minimal level.
Assumption.
The answers and result assumes that correlation and causation are the two key element of growth
in an organization. In addition, correlation and causation also reaffirms certainty.
