Raghav Bhartiya \u2013 800012100884<\/p>\n<p>INTRODUCTION:<br \/>\nThe nature of social media is that it reinforces itself. It works by releasing dopamine, a &#8220;feel-good chemical&#8221; associated with enjoyable activities like eating, and social interaction, into the brain&#8217;s reward region. The platforms are intended to be addictive, and they have been linked to anxiety, despair, and even physical illnesses. As a result of these changes, many people are sleeping less and getting poor-quality sleep. When this pattern is repeated over time, the individual&#8217;s performance suffers, and their mental health and stability suffer as well. People lose focus and mental attentiveness at work as a result of this.<\/p>\n<p>OBJECTIVE:<br \/>\nTo get an idea of whether online courses and certifications provide good learning experiences or not.<\/p>\n<p>DATA COLLECTION: Primary Research from the group of 103 students of age group between 20-25 years. The values in the scale were 1) Strongly disagree, 2) Disagree, 3) Neutral, 4) Agree, and 5) Strongly Agree. Their responses were gathered using a Google Form and then entered into an excel file that was used to analyze standard deviation and other associated variables.<\/p>\n<p>DATA ANALYSIS:<\/p>\n<p>MEAN:<br \/>\n1) 1.03<br \/>\n2) 0.31<br \/>\n3) 0.85<br \/>\n4) -0.84<br \/>\n5) 0.65<\/p>\n<p>STANDARD DEVIATION:<br \/>\n1) 1.01<br \/>\n2) 1.00<br \/>\n3) 0.94<br \/>\n4) 1.07<br \/>\n5) 1.11<\/p>\n<p>STANDARD ERROR:<br \/>\n1) 0.10<br \/>\n2) 0.10<br \/>\n3) 0.09<br \/>\n4) 0.11<br \/>\n5) 0.11<\/p>\n<p>Z VALUE:<br \/>\n1) 10.147<br \/>\n2) 3.106<br \/>\n3) 9.055<br \/>\n4) -7.869<br \/>\n5) 5.866<\/p>\n<p>RESULTS:<br \/>\n1) Z is positive.<br \/>\n2) Z is positive.<br \/>\n3) Z is positive.<br \/>\n4) Z is negative.<br \/>\n5) Z is positive.<\/p>\n<p>CRITERIA:<br \/>\nIf Z &gt; 1.96, accept positively.<br \/>\nIf Z is between 1.96 and -1.96, people are neutral.<br \/>\nIf Z is less than \u2013 1.96 accept negatively.<\/p>\n<p>HYPOTHESIS:<\/p>\n<p>Statement 1<br \/>\nNull Hypothesis: There are a lot of sources available online.<br \/>\nAlternate Hypothesis: There are a lot of sources not available online.<\/p>\n<p>Statement 2<br \/>\nNull Hypothesis: Choosing the right source is a challenge.<br \/>\nAlternate Hypothesis: Choosing the right source is not a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Statement 3<br \/>\nNull Hypothesis: Some courses are not worth the cost which they are asking for.<br \/>\nAlternate Hypothesis: Some courses are worth the cost which they are asking for.<\/p>\n<p>Statement 4<br \/>\nNull Hypothesis: Unreliable sources can provide fake certificates.<br \/>\nAlternate Hypothesis: Unreliable sources cannot provide fake certificates.<\/p>\n<p>Statement 5<br \/>\nNull Hypothesis: There is misleading feedback on some websites.<br \/>\nAlternate Hypothesis: There is no misleading feedback on some websites.<\/p>\n<p>FINDINGS:<br \/>\n1. From the computed z value of 10.147, we see that people strongly agree that a lot of sources are available online.<br \/>\n2. From the computed z value of 3.1058, we see that people find difficulty in difficulty in finding the most reliable source.<br \/>\n3. From the computed z value of 9.0545, we see that they only pay a certain amount on these courses.<br \/>\n4. From the computed z value of -7.8693, we infer that they did not receive a fake certificate from an unreliable source<br \/>\n5. From the computed z value of 5.8662, we infer that the people don&#8217;t believe in all the feedback that they read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUB-PROBLEMS: \u2022 Lack of practical experience. \u2022 Unauthentic proof of learning\/Unreliable source. \u2022 Availability of forums that discuss answers.
