Help the Stat Consulting Group by giving a gift. Cronbach's alpha is a measure of internal consistency, that is, how closely related a set of items are as a group. It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability. A high value for alpha does not imply that the measure is unidimensional.elp the Stat Consulting Group by giving a gift.

An endospore is an extremely resistant dormant cell structure produced by some bacterial species. If you break down the term endospore, 'endo-' means 'inside' and '-spore' refers to the 'dormant structure,' so the endospore is a structured formed inside the cell.
An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by certain bacteria from the Firmicute phylum.The name endospore is suggestive of a spore or seed-like form (endo means within), but it is not a true spore (i.e., not an offspring).It is a stripped-down, dormant form to which the bacterium can reduce itself.hen the environment becomes more favorable, the endospore can reactivate itself to the vegetative state. Most types of bacteria cannot change to the endospore form. Examples of bacteria that can form endospores include Bacillus and Clostridium.
