Question:
Experiment 1: Are there different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus?
Experiment 2: Are there different ways to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets?
Null Hypothesis:
Experiment 1: There are not different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus.
Experiment 2: There is no way to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets.
Alternate Hypothesis:
Experiment 1: There are different behavioral patterns present during social encounters in Acheta domesticus.
Experiment 2: There are different ways to obtain quantitative behavioral data from crickets.
Prediction:
Experiment 1: There will be several different behavior patterns present during …show more content…

Answer questions:
Q1). How do such observations relate to the scientific method?
--- Observations such as measuring the duration and frequency can help answer questions as to why these behaviors occur and formulate hypotheses.
Q2). Basic behavioral observational observations are associated with which point of the scientific inference: preliminary observations, formulate question and hypotheses, design, conduct, and analyze experiments, or communicate results?
--- Basic behavioral observations are associated with all point of the scientific inference.
Q3). What are the particular advantages of each approach?
--- The advantages of measuring the duration of each behavior is that it measures how long each behavior lasts.
--- The advantages of measuring the frequency each behavior is that it measures how often each behavior occurs.
Q4). What are the drawbacks of each approach?
--- The disadvantages of measuring the duration of each behavior is that you might not be able to infer what behavior happens the most often.
--- The disadvantages of measuring the frequency of each behavior is that it does not give as good of an idea on the intensity of each
