are punctuated such as pledge one in the
State of the Union the speech
content within this set indicates that President Bush is consistent In other
words even when the nation is under attack on September
there are still
connections to the mission and furthermore these connections do not
demonstrate large volatility such as the expectation of the memorial speech at
the Pentagon during the aftermath of the Attacks postulating that the President
would emphasize the use of forceful retaliation thus marginalizing the enemy of
freedom reference in pledge two The following statistical analysis helps further
develop my consistency theory
By inserting my data into a statistical contingency table we are able to test
for independence that is we are able to test the Ho the probability that the pledges
and rhythm are independent of the audience of the speeches and that over time the
content remains consistent and connected to the Mission As a reference to the
contingency table below the observations indicate exact tallies of individual
references to the three pledges as measured in each speech Additionally the
observation model below transfers the exact tallies per speech and thus begins the
calculation ascribed to a statistical contingency table which first describes the
dimensions of a contingency table by first stating the number of rows and then
the number of columns The total column and the total row are not counted as
part of the dimensions Lavin
