From the diagram:
1. Is A responding variable?
2. Is B manipulated variable?
3. Is C controlled variable OR constant?
* This diagram all I'm given for this question; there is no clarifications on what A,B,C are pointing to...
Consider the variables: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
A and B, B and C, C and D are directly related while D and E, E and F, F and G, and G and H are inversely related. If an initial increase occurs in the value of A, the value of H will
a. decrease
b. increase
c. stay the same
d. cannot predict from the given information
The purpose of the constant is to:
a. allow for adjustment of the control
b. eliminate other potential factors/variables in the experiment
c. allow for the dependent variable to show the necessary outcome
d. help prove the hypothesis correct

- Why the results of the Swan-neck flask experiment were reliable ?: Select one: a. Because it maintained no controls at all b. Because proper controls were maintained and only one variable changed at a time c. Because many controls were maintained d. Because it was repeatedly done by several scientists e. Because it tested all variables at the same timearrow_forwardIn an experiment, the control group is used to: a Change the variable b Provide a baseline for comparison with the test group c add additional non-dependent variables d demonstrate correlation rather than causation e generate hypothesesarrow_forwardUse suitable examples to explain dependent and independentvariablesarrow_forward
- In the context of the Chi-square analysis, the null hypothesis states that _________________________. the differences between the measured values and the predicted values are too large to allow us to attribute them to chance the differences between the measured values and the predicted values are not significant and can be attributed to chance the measured values are too small to allow a prediction to be made there should be no numerical difference between the measured and the predicted values None of the other answers are correct.arrow_forwardWhich of these statements are true about predictions and hypotheses? (4 are true) □ If the results of the experiment are NOT consistent with a given prediction then that hypothesis is false. O Hypotheses and predotions are the same as theories. A predictions is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. Predictions and hypotheses are the same thing. Predictions are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." O The prediction step comes before the hypothesis. Hypotheses are usually written as if/then statements. "If I do this, then that will happen." A hypothesis is a possible explanations to explain the initial observation. O The prediction step comes after the hypothesis.arrow_forwardWhat is the definition of independent variable , dependent variable, and constant?

I set up two treatments for spiders: those matching their flower and those not matching their flower. I measure how long it takes each of them to catch a bee.

- Contrary to Jean Piaget's assertions, research using infant looking time demonstrates that even 3- to 5-month-old infants possess the concept of object permanence. In this line of research, an infant's looking time would be considered the _______.

Which of the following is a false statement? Choose one from the following: (A) a positive control experiment is missing some of the components of the experiment and should give a negative result (B) a positive control experiment contains all of the components of an experiment and should give a positive result (C) a negative control experiment is missing the element being tested and should give a negative result (D) if there are multiple components of an experiment, there should be multiple negative controls (E) if a negative control experiment give positives results, it is likely that the experiment is contaminatedarrow_forward
