If a non-probability survey conducted in the United States finds that 59 % percent of its respondents support a piece of legislation that is the only conclusion that can be drawn, no statement about the target population can be made.

For Frye, this kind of coherent, critical integrity involves claiming a body of knowledge for criticism that, while independent of literature, is yet constrained by it: " If criticism exists ," he declares, " it must be an examination of literature in terms of a conceptual framework derivable from an inductive survey of the literary field " itself ( Anatomy 7 ).

* If a survey question actually contains more than one issue, the researcher will not know which one the respondent is answering.

If a survey respondent were to choose a response of “ definitely ” and an intent probability of. 99 was assigned to that category, then the actual probability of purchase could be read off the vertical axis.

If a survey respondent were to choose a response of “ probably not ” and an intent probability of. 25 was assigned to that category, then the actual probability of purchase could be read off the vertical axis as. 35, indicating the specifiers of the function feel that some people that claim they probably will not purchase will actually purchase.

If they pass a survey ( inspection ), they are " certified " and are also subject to federal laws and regulations.

If trained to do so and the situation permits, conduct a secondary survey and check the chest and abdomen for pain, deformity, guarding, discoloration or swelling.

If a survey has an estimated error of ± 5 % at 95 % confidence, it also has an estimated error of ± 6. 6 % at 99 % confidence.

If this is the case, then the survey would find a higher-than-accurate proportion of people who believed that Simpson did kill his wife.

If the latter is the case, then this would skew the survey results ; this is a kind of response bias.

Jeremy Rabkin cited the survey in an April 1999 article in the American Spectator, asking, " If ' discrimination ' keeps down the proportion of women athletes at co-ed schools, what accounts for overall participation rates that are half of the national women's average at Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Wellesley, and Smith?

If the survey discovers any encroachments, they should be shown graphically, and a note indicating the nature of the encroachment may also be added.

At a press conference of law school deans in 1998 decrying the annual US News Law School Rankings, New York University School of Law Dean John Sexton quipped, " If they were asked about Princeton Law School, it would appear on the top 20 -- but it doesn't exist " ( Sexton was denouncing the US News usage of reputation survey results from judges, lawyers and law school deans in its ranking formula, expressing doubt over the expertise of some surveyed ).

If a patient is asked to fill out the form in front of other people in a clinical environment, for instance, social expectations have been shown to elicit a different response compared to administration via a postal survey.

If not done in the primary survey, it should be performed as part of the more detailed neurologic examination in the secondary survey.

If at any time during the secondary survey the patient deteriorates, another primary survey is carried out as a potential life threat may be present.

If new crust were being formed at the ridges and moving away, as Hess theorized, then reversals in the Earth's magnetic polarity would result in just the kind of parallel, symmetrical anomalies that Matthews ' survey had found.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.

If, in a certain part of the range, it starts life 1 foot longer than do any of the other ( relatively large ) giants, and reaches maturity at, let us guess, 18 inches longer than the others, a quadrupling of the maturity length would result in a maximum of ( nearly ) 40 feet.

If adjectival meanings show relatively low retentiveness of stems, as I am confident will prove to be the case in most languages of the world, why should our basic lists include 15 per cent of these unstable forms, but only 8 per cent of animals and plants which replace much more slowly??

If we have five problems whose solution we seek in relatively united fashion, then there are twice as many issues which, I judge, sharply divide us, intergroup relations practitioners and lay people.

If, however, the figure to be discerned were complicated, composed of several interlocking subfigures, and so on, even the tracing process failed him, and he could not focus even relatively simple shapes among its parts.

If a scene is to look relatively realistic and predictable under virtual lighting, the rendering software should solve the rendering equation.

If it is generally by temporary uninhabitability, for example a nuclear winter, then n < sub > r </ sub > may be relatively high.

If he hadn't put his money into buying the house, he could have invested it in the relatively safe T-Notes instead.

If the parameter is the bull's-eye of a target, and the arrows are estimates, then a relatively high variance means the arrows are dispersed, and a relatively low variance means the arrows are clustered.

If the parameter is the bull's-eye of a target, and the arrows are estimates, then a relatively high absolute value for the bias means the average position of the arrows is off-target, and a relatively low absolute bias means the average position of the arrows is on target.

If GCD ( a, b ) = 1, then a and b are said to be coprime ( or relatively prime ).

If the wavepacket has a relatively large frequency spread, or if the dispersion has sharp variations ( such as due to a resonance ), or if the packet travels over very long distances, this assumption is not valid.

If an isomorphism can be found from a relatively unknown part of mathematics into some well studied division of mathematics, where many theorems are already proved, and many methods are already available to find answers, then the function can be used to map whole problems out of unfamiliar territory over to " solid ground " where the problem is easier to understand and work with.

If the cities were treated as relatively autonomous local administrative areas, it would simplify the problems of imperial administration, which as far as Julian was concerned, should be focused on the administration of the law and defense of the empire's vast frontiers.

If the feedback network is made of components with relatively constant, stable values, the variability of the op-amp's open loop response does not seriously affect the circuit's performance.

If the environment is relatively non-threatening, the rabbit will remain outdoors for many hours, grazing at intervals.

If proto-bird courtship displays combined displays of forelimb feathers with energetic jumps, then the transition from display to aerodynamic functions could have been relatively smooth.

Consider now the acceleration due to the sphere of mass M experienced by a particle in the vicinity of the body of mass m. With R as the distance from the center of M to the center of m, let ∆ r be the ( relatively small ) distance of the particle from the center of the body of mass m. For simplicity, distances are first considered only in the direction pointing towards or away from the sphere of mass M. If the body of mass m is itself a sphere of radius ∆ r, then the new particle considered may be located on its surface, at a distance ( R ± ∆ r ) from the centre of the sphere of mass M, and ∆ r may be taken as positive where the particle's distance from M is greater than R. Leaving aside whatever gravitational acceleration may be experienced by the particle towards m on account of ms own mass, we have the acceleration on the particle due to gravitational force towards M as:

If each firm's sales consist of a small number of high-value contracts, then it can make a relatively large short-term gain from cheating on the agreement and thereby winning more of these contracts.

If the impact causes the head to move, the injury may be worsened, because the brain may ricochet inside the skull causing additional impacts, or the brain may stay relatively still ( due to inertia ) but be hit by the moving skull ( both are contrecoup injuries ).

If the constraints don't couple the variables too tightly, a relatively simple attack is to change the variables so that constraints are unconditionally satisfied.

If the signal data are not constant, then can be calculated from data where the signal is zero or relatively constant .</ ref > Notice that such an alternative definition is only useful for variables that are always non-negative ( such as photon counts and luminance ).

If the next month the company made 50 coaches, then the unit cost = $ 320 per coach ($ 300 + ($ 1000 / 50 )), a relatively minor difference.
