To mark your substantive engagement thread as complete, offer a reply in your own words. From the list below, which ONE variable is of importance to you? Why? Accuracy: Ensures precise measurements by quantifying the potential values of the measured result. Reliability: Provides the measurement's consistency, showing confidence in the result. Interpretation: Allows scientists to explain the significance of their findings. Comparison: Allows for the evaluation of results between different studies. Decision-making: Uncertainty estimates are critical for making informed decisions, especially in areas such as policy-making, where decisions are evidence-based. Lastly, please know that creating your own thread does not alert my phone, and the LMS places your message(s) at the bottom of the list. While you will get a reply within 48 hours, a quicker one is available, and I will always respond here so you can easily find my response to you. BTW, I subscribe to a life/work balance. Please know I remain committed to supporting your academic progress, but do not log into the system on Sundays, and thus plan accordingly. Thanks. Dr. Kaufman
