Alternative hypothesis

Stephen Pidliskey 09/15/07 P1 Park ISOPOD BEHAVIOR LAB REPORT Background Information: In our lab we were working with isopods, also known as pill bugs or rollie pollies. The isopods that we worked with were land isopods. They like to live in moist places under untouched objects such as boards, bricks, rotting logs and or rocks. Basically, they will live anywhere! If you are lucky enough, you can even find them next to buildings where it is moist and if there is food. All living organisms like

Cross-Cultural Observation: Macy’s Department Store In order to observe the interactions between individuals from different cultural background, my partner: Gina Nguyen and I went to the Macy’s department store, located downtown Boston. We selected this store because of the size and their reputation of having a diverse workforce. Gina and I started our observation at 3:30pm on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 and finished it at 4:20pm. We were observing the interactions between the coworkers, as

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.) **Note that the point value of this question is 20 points. It is imperative that one thoroughly understands

heart rate. Our tables do not show the negative side of the spectrum, but still show the percent change in heart rate, which is what we were trying to accomplish. Due to classical music actually lowering heart rate, our hypothesis was not proven complete. Relate back to our hypothesis. We hypothesized that fast tempo music would increase heart rates while slower paced music will keep heart rate at about the same. Still, if you relate back to the table and Chart A, we have still conducted positive evidence

Yes, data can prove a hypothesis to be true. Conclusion Scientific Theory A pillbug has 14 body divisions If a pillbug curls into a ball, it can be concluded that it feels threatened. Pillbugs that back away from a substance are repelled by the substance. THOUGHT QUESTIONS:

10 12 13 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 1? Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water.

What are the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control?

today we tend to see science as the main area of discovery. We believe what scientific studies tell us because things can be proved. E.g. If I assert that drug A cures this disease. We give 100 patients the drug; if they are all cured we prove our hypothesis. We believe things that we see, this is how we have come to view science as so important. There are many definitions of what makes something scientific; many people have tried to write about it. According to the Collins English Dictionary, something

There are a few ways, techniques used to gather data in sociology. For this study, we are utilizing techniques of observation, this was done by going out somewhere, like a mall, and watching what the people around you are doing and the activities that are taking place. My observations took place at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord New Hampshire on a Friday in mid-April around four o’clock. I was shocked by what I saw, the mall was no longer as active as it was when I use to go while I was in middle

hypotheses, and not being able to prove them false. Thusly, allowing scientists to accept the “Null Hypothesis”, which states that there is no correlation between your results and hypothesis. Furthermore, referring to the Null Hypothesis attempts to give experimental data meaning. If experimental results cannot prove something false, and correlates with the subject at hand, you would reject the “Null Hypothesis”. Methods We can test the fallacy of folk magic by executing the following experiment. We hypothesized

From 1933 to 1945 over 11 million people were slaughtered over the course of those 12 years. This event in history is known as the Holocaust. The people who lost their lives were Jews, Gypsies, Political prisoners, Roma, Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals, and anyone who opposed the Nazi rule. The prisoners were sent to concentration camps where they were tortured, forced to work, starved, placed in gas chambers for mass extermination, and experimented on by Nazi doctors as if they were not human.
