Exploring Biology

8. Draw conclusions – Assuming that your experiment produced results identical to those seen in Table 4, would you reject or accept the hypothesis that you produced in question 3? Explain how you determined this.

12. Why are both natural AND controlled experiments necessary to increasing scientific understanding, and how do their roles in the scientific process differ?

An experiment could be devised in which bats are taken in a large quantity and one

.:6. Design a (hypothetical) experiment that adheres to the Scientific Method. Be sure to include all the necessary requirements at each step and give examples at all of the steps. Start with an observation, whether it’s real or made up, state the null hypothesis, and design an experiment (including an experimental and control group, random sampling, sample size, and reproducibility) that will allow the student to reject or fail to reject the hypothesis, and state the conclusion (20 points.)

Select one (1) project from your working or educational environment that you would use the hypothesis test technique. Next, propose the hypothesis structure (e.g., the null hypothesis, data collection process, confidence interval, test statistics, reject or not reject the decision, etc.) for the business process of the selected project. Provide a rationale for your response.

2. This experiment is not able to support Matthew's hypothesis. Suggest specific improvements that will allow the experiment to more effectively test the given hypothesis. Explain why these changes are improvements.

Question 1: Using yourself as an example of a living organism, mention any five properties of living organisms

Given the following information, would your decision be to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis? Setting the level of significance at .05 for decision making, provide an explanation for your conclusion.

Hypothesis- Ice cream melts faster in warm weather vs cold weather. Null Hypothesis- weather has no bearing on ice cream melting.

Looking through a light microscope at a cell undergoing division, you see that the condensed

2. Choose one of the research questions from above and consider it in more detail. Based upon the question, what would be a reasonable hypothesis?

3. Quantitative data is easily compiled into something meaningful because it is based on concrete data. On the other hand, qualitative data is presented in a raw form and needs

Quantitative and qualitative methods differ from one another as to their research design elements as listed below:

After forming the hypothesis, the errors that can occur with respect to the hypothesis are:
