How much of this submission has been generated by AI?

26%
Caution: Percentage may not indicate academic misconduct. Review required.

It is essential to understand the limitations of AI detection before making decisions

about a student's work. We encourage you to learn more about Turnitin's AI detection
capabilities before using the tool.
of qualifying text in this submission has been determined to be
generated by AI.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the percentage mean?

The percentage shown in the AI writing detection indicator and in the AI writing report is the amount of qualifying text within the
submission that Turnitin's AI writing detection model determines was generated by AI.

Our testing has found that there is a higher incidence of false positives when the percentage is less than 20. In order to reduce the
likelihood of misinterpretation, the AI indicator will display an asterisk for percentages less than 20 to call attention to the fact that
the score is less reliable.

However, the final decision on whether any misconduct has occurred rests with the reviewer/instructor. They should use the
percentage as a means to start a formative conversation with their student and/or use it to examine the submitted assignment in
greater detail according to their school's policies.

How does Turnitin's indicator address false positives?

Our model only processes qualifying text in the form of long-form writing. Long-form writing means individual sentences contained in paragraphs that make up a
longer piece of written work, such as an essay, a dissertation, or an article, etc. Qualifying text that has been determined to be AI-generated will be highlighted blue
on the submission text.

Non-qualifying text, such as bullet points, annotated bibliographies, etc., will not be processed and can create disparity between the submission highlights and the
percentage shown.

What does 'qualifying text' mean?

Sometimes false positives (incorrectly flagging human-written text as AI-generated), can include lists without a lot of structural variation, text that literally repeats
itself, or text that has been paraphrased without developing new ideas. If our indicator shows a higher amount of AI writing in such text, we advise you to take that
into consideration when looking at the percentage indicated.

In a longer document with a mix of authentic writing and AI generated text, it can be difficult to exactly determine where the AI writing begins and original writing
ends, but our model should give you a reliable guide to start conversations with the submitting student.

Disclaimer
Our AI writing assessment is designed to help educators identify text that might be prepared by a generative AI tool. Our AI writing assessment may not always be accurate (it may misidentify
both human and AI-generated text) so it should not be used as the sole basis for adverse actions against a student. It takes further scrutiny and human judgment in conjunction with an
organization's application of its specific academic policies to determine whether any academic misconduct has occurred.

The chi-square test is a statistical test commonly used to compare observed data with

data we would expect to obtain according to a specific hypothesis (Franke et al., 2012). It is

used to determine if any difference between the observed and expected results is statistically

significant or could reasonably be explained by chance alone.

The chi-square test is typically used when we want to compare observed frequencies

or counts across different categorical variables. For instance, one may use a chi-square test to

analyze survey results to see if the proportion of different responses varies significantly

between men and women (Franke et al., 2012). One could also use it to compare the

frequency of different medical diagnoses across age groups to see if age is a relevant factor.

To perform the chi-square test, we first develop a hypothesis about what the expected

frequencies would be under the condition that the variables are independent (Franke et al.,

2012). For instance, if we thought gender didn't affect survey responses, we might expect the

proportions of each response to be the same between men and women. We then collect

observational data and calculate a chi-square statistic based on the differences between the

expected and observed frequencies across each category.

The chi-square value is then compared to critical values from the chi-square

distribution based on the desired significance level and degrees of freedom. If the chi-square

value exceeds the critical value, we can reject the hypothesis that any differences are due to

chance and determine there is a statistically significant association between the categorical

variables being studied (Franke et al., 2012). This helps assess whether patterns in frequency

data are meaningful or could plausibly be attributed to random variation.

The purpose of linear regression analysis is to model the relationship between two or

more variables so that we can predict the value of a dependent variable based on the value of

an independent variable.

Specifically, linear regression finds the best-fitting straight line through data points in

a scatterplot to demonstrate how the dependent variable changes with the independent

variable. The slope of the line indicates how much the dependent variable changes when the

independent variable is increased by one unit, on average.

Linear regression can be used to address a wide variety of research questions where

we want to understand how changes in one variable relate to or predict changes in another.

For example, a researcher could use linear regression to investigate the relationship between

average class size (independent variable) and standardized test scores (dependent variable)

across different school districts.

The research question could be: Does average class size significantly predict

standardized test scores, when controlling for other school characteristics? The researcher

would collect data on average class sizes and test scores for multiple districts, as well as

control variables like funding levels, demographic factors, etc. Then a linear regression model

could evaluate whether smaller class sizes have a statistically significant relationship with

higher test scores.

The results could help determine if class size reduction should be recommended as a

policy intervention to improve educational outcomes. So in summary, linear regression

allows researchers to quantify relationships between variables and draw conclusions about

prediction and causality.

Linear regression has some key assumptions that must be met to ensure the validity of

results:

Linear relationship assumption - There is a linear (straight-line) relationship between the

independent and dependent variables (Osborne & Waters, 2019). To check this, researchers

can examine scatter plots and ensure the data lies in a reasonably straight line.

HOMEWORK 7 3

Independence of errors assumption - The errors or residuals (differences between observed

and predicted values) must be independent of each other (Osborne & Waters, 2019). Violating

this assumption can result in an overestimation of significance. Researchers can check for

autocorrelation of errors.

Homoscedasticity assumption - The variance of errors is consistent across all levels of the

independent variable. Heteroscedasticity violates this assumption and impacts significance

tests (Flatt & Jacobs, 2019). Researchers can check residual plots.

Normality assumption - The errors are normally distributed about the mean point on the

regression line. Non-normal errors can skew significance tests (Flatt & Jacobs, 2019).

Researchers can check Q-Q plots or skewness/kurtosis of residuals.

No perfect multicollinearity - The independent variables are not perfectly linearly related to

each other. Otherwise, it is difficult to separate their contribution to prediction. Researchers

can check variance inflation factor (VIF) values.

An example of reporting regression results from the article would be as follows:

"Multiple regression was conducted to predict perceived customer relationship quality from

electronic direct mail, interpersonal communication, preferential treatment, and perceived

reward. A significant regression equation was found (F(4,114) = 60.538, p < 0.001) with an

R2 of 0.680. Perceived reward (β = 0.460, p < 0.001) and preferential treatment (β = 0.447, p

< 0.001) were significant predictors of perceived customer relationship quality (Lam et al.,

2013)." This reports the key output values of the regression model including the F-statistic,

R-squared value, individual predictor beta coefficients, and their significance levels.
