    the data collected from the experiment that was conducted, the presence of agricultural runoff is harmful to an elodea plant. Although the rate of growth was only minorly affected, the harsh chemicals in the solution killed the plants. The null hypothesis cannot be rejected since the Chi-square value, 3.34, is less than the critical value of 7.81, as can be seen in Table 1. Additionally in Figure 1, the differences in the height of the plants are trivial, for they are only off by a few…

    The scientific method of inquiry has five main steps that include, stating the problem, formulating the hypothesis, collecting the data by observing and experimenting, interpreting these data, and drawing conclusions (NSRL Rochester, 2015). In the criminal justice field it would generally commence as an inductive process and cases are used to illustrate the application of the scientific method to criminal investigation (Osterburg, 1981). The scientific method can be applied to criminal justice…

    Analysis: There are several instances where the number of pillbugs in the light are equal to the number of pillbugs in the dark. It’s difficult to decipher a pattern in the data. The pillbugs seem very indecisive and continuously move between chambers. However, if one disregards the data where the number in light and dark are equal, there are three times where the amount in light is higher and only two times where the amount in dark is higher. Conclusion: In conclusion, there is not enough data…

    The results obtained in this experiment correspond well with the expected outcomes. At 0oC, the product formed was white indicating that it must be cyclohexanone semicarbazone. This is further confirmed by the observed melting point of 166.5oC. These results deviate by only 0.5oC from the expected melting point of 166oC for this compound. This particular reaction is controlled kinetically and occurred because it had the smallest activation energy. Then after forming this compound, the reaction…
