Guest guest Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I have recently written a self-paced learning module for Vergie titled " How to Teach New and Expectant Parents " (predetermined topic by LER Online)Jan Ellen was kind enough to do peer review- thanks J-E! If you have time to take a look, I would love to hear what you think. When the phone is not ringing, I try to fill the gaps by doing free lance writing. This is the first lactation module, although I have done others for nursing and MD's. I like Internet learning because it is so much cheaper that conferences, although I believe it can't replace them for networking and the give and take of a group setting. Anyway, here is the link. Feel free to email your comments off list. http://leron-line.com/Teaching_Classes.htm Altman All The Best Columbia, SC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 The first one that has me puzzled: 18. How did the number of feeds per 24 hours for partially breastfed babies compare to those of exclusively breastfed babies? a. the same amount b. one more c. one less d. two less The text says that average frequency was "6.4 +/- 1.4 feeds per 24 hours for exclusively bf newborns and 5.5 +/- 1.9 feeds per 24 hours for supplemented breastfed newborns." Wouldn't that mean that partially bf babies averaged about one less (should be "one fewer") feed/day? The "correct" answer is "one more". It's Tax Time!

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hello, I give you my answer (sorry for my english, I’m French, often read you, but not often answer) : a) the same amount If you only read the average, you could think c) one less. But the text also gives us the standard deviation (or some thing like that). So we can calculate: 6.4-1.4 = 5 and 5.5+1.9=7.4. If we draw two bars: 5 to 6.4 and a second from 5.5 to 7.4, we can see that they intersect from 5.5 to 6.4. So, the difference is not statistically different. So, for me, we can not conclude that one average is different from the other. What du you thing of that result? e De : [mailto: ] De la part de HWLaP@...
