Scientific writing is concise, written in 3rd person, and uses past tense. b. Science writing uses lots of colorful language to describe visual reactions to the experiment. c. Science writing uses lots of personal pronouns (e.g., I, me, we, you, your, our) to show ownership of the results and personal attention to directions. d.Science writing assumes the reader already knows how to do the experiment that is the subject of your paper. e.Science writing may include references that are from peer reviewed sources.arrow_forwardO Macmillan Learning One important test for kidney disease involves measuring the levels of bicarbonate (HCO,) in blood. Normal bicarbonate levels for a person ranging in age from 18 to 59 years old is 23-29 mmol/L. A lab purchased a new instrument to measure bicarbonate levels in blood and needs to certify it against their current instrument. The bicarbonate levels in the blood of a 38 year old woman was measured using the old and new instrument. The blood was tested 6 times using each instrument. The mean concentration of bicarbonate using the old instrument was found to be 24.4 mmol/L. with a standard deviation of 1.54 mmol/L. The new instrument yielded a mean concentration of 25.5 mmol/L with a standard deviation of 0.48 mmol/L... Determine if there is a significant difference in the standard deviations of the two sets of measurements made by the two instruments at the 95% confidence level.

They want to determine if different study habits affect test performance. The students note down the study hours of each student and their corresponding test scores. They also survey students about their study methods, such as reading notes, practicing problems, or group study. The students speculate that students who engage in active study methods, such as practicing problems, will perform better on tests compared to those who passively review notes.
