The Just Noticeable Difference as a function of the psychophysical method used to measure them.

- Identification of statistical analyses
In the following project, we are interested in determining if there is any significant difference in mean for the Just Noticeable Difference as a function of the psychophysical methods.
The descriptive statistics that we are interested in comparing the mean performance of the point of subjective equality, since the project have only one variable with different level, the best statistical analysis is the one way Anova.

The hypothesis

Null hypothesis, There is no significant difference in mean Just Noticeable Difference as function of method
The alternative hypothesis, There is significant difference in mean Just ...

- Sample mean can be calculated using the following formula:
μ=x=1 Nxi ,
where xi is mass of sample.

The mean is equal

x=130i=130xi=14.87 ounces
In a set of observations, median is a value of variable that have half of the number of observations below it and remaining half above it (Agarval, 43). To set median it is necessary to arrange data in ascending or descending order. As the number of samples is even (N=2p) the average of p-th and (p+1)-th is median. In our case median is equal to 14.8 ounces.

Standard deviation can be calculated as (Bajpai, 129)

σ=i=1Nxi-μ2N=0.541 ounces
σN=0.54130=0.099 ounces

It is possible to find numbers –x and x, between which lies mass of soda with probability 95 % (1-α).

Therefore:
P-x≤X≤ ...

Simon Sinek developed the Golden Circle Model after researching the activities and philosophies of some of the most successful companies and influential leaders. Sinek discovered a common thread in the way these companies conceptualized, acted and communicated their ideals and products.
