- Sandra conducts a statistical test to compare two groups of data and finds a p-value of 0.023. What does this suggest about her hypothesis?arrow_forwardPlease find the questionarrow_forwardFor each of the following phenomena, indicate (1) a possible hypothesis to ex- plain it, (2) a possible competing hypothesis, and (3) a test implication for each hypothesis. . In stressful situations, women appear to adapt better and quicker to the emotional demands of the situation than men do. The mosquito population in the county has decreased drastically in the past year even though county workers have curtailed the use of insecti- cides and have stopped urging residents to get rid of standing water on their property, which is a breeding ground for the insects.arrow_forward
- Formulate three (3) hypotheses.Hypothesis: cause and effect/premise and prediction - ”If..then..” statements Example: “If the glass is tapped, then the fish will swim away” There are four evaluation criteria that a hypothesis must meet. First, it must state an expected relationship between variables. Second, it must be testable and falsifiable; researchers must be able to test whether a hypothesis is true or false. Third, it should be consistent with the existing body of knowledge. Finally, it should be stated as simply and concisely as possible.arrow_forwardIn a given population on a distant planet, there are 20 red, 25 orange, and 15 yellow creatures. Use Hardy-Weinberg equations and a chi square analysis to determine whether or not this population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Show all work. Be sure to state a null hypothesis and explain your conclusion.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are variable terms in the discrete-time logistic model? ΔN Δt rmax,d t Nt K None of thesearrow_forward
- Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true about meta-analysis?arrow_forwardWhat was the independent variable in the experiment? A.) Temperature B.) Seed count C.)Amount of water D.) Incubation timearrow_forwardThe _______ is manipulated by scientists over the course of an experiment. A.)dependent • variable B.)data C.)independent variablearrow_forward
- 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 (hypothetical) 'actual' results and the appropriate conclusion to draw from those results.arrow_forwardGiven, Hypothesis 1 is "The Suspect is the source of the bloodstain." and Hypothesis 2 is "The one-armed man is the source of the bloodstain.", and the Likelihood Ratio > 1, what is the appropriate conclusion? The one-armed man is the source of the bloodstain. Either the suspect or the one-armed man could be the source of the bloodstain. No conclusion can be made. The suspect is the source of the bloodstain.arrow_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_forward
