AMDM DB4 Response 1 and 2
Response #1 Nichole PottingerIn this posting, the core theme of the article is the argument for and against death penalty among the American population. Following the debate, it was essential to carry out a survey to determine the number of the Americans in support or opposition to the death penalty bill. The author integrates various statistical methods in carrying out the research. It is evident that the American population has different groups based on race, gender and political parties. As a result, it leads to the varying statistical results across the years. Nonetheless, the use of the significant tests showed that the data has a 95% confidence level indicating that the hypothesis was positive. In this case, the percentage of persons in support of the death penalty was decreasing.
The response provides clear information such that it answers all the questions sufficiently. It shows that the article adequately utilized the data collection and statistical methods as stated in the course study. Although the author reported a 95% confidence level, it is vital to clarify and specify the type of significant tests utilized. I would also like to understand the kind of sampling method that the author used whether based on the political parties or the racial groups.
Response #2 Joel Nobles
The response shows that the researcher did not sufficiently utilize the statistical methods of data collection. The author does not outline the methods of data collection, the sampling techniques, and the data analysis methods.

Therefore, the article does not give the necessary understanding of the course requirements. In this case, the searcher ought to clarify some of the items to acquire and in-depth information concerning the collection and analysis of data. Besides, it is even hard to identify the major theme of the article therein. It leaves the reader guessing almost all the critical aspects of the research process.
