Efficient-market hypothesis

Hypothesis- Science Fair Name: Gustavo Hernandez Date: Nov.28.2015 Partner: N/A Experimental Question, Independent Variable, and Dependent Variable: Do video games affect memory? Memory is an incredible thing and some parts of it we do not even understand, so in this new era with video games rising in popularity and being in many different households do video games affect gaming? The testing will be done by manipulating a game playing time between studying and taking a quiz. A test subject will…

Richard Dawkins is trying to argue that reality can be proven by scientific evidence and magic is used when we do not know why something happen the way they do. We classify something as real when proven by our five senses. However, “we are able to develop new technology and extend the reach of our senses. For example, a microscope to prove that bacteria does exist”. Although, we cannot see microbes with our naked eyes we can use an instrument to see it. Dawkins only believes in poetic magic,…

treatment group did support the tested hypothesis that urine production rate should increase, while salt concentration and specific gravity of urine should decrease for this group. For the isotonic treatment group, the tested hypothesis was supported in that the specific gravity and salt concentration went up slightly, but was not supported in that the the urine production rate did not greatly increase over time. The findings for the hypertonic group supported the hypothesis in that the salt…

Summary timeline of the observation: What activities was the child involved in? 10:00-10:10am: I found 16 children and one teacher during my initial observations upon my arrival to Ms. Hicks’s classroom. Ms. Hicks was stationed in the corner cutting up some color construction paper. From this observation it appeared to me that it the paper she was cutting was going to be used for a future art project or something. Also, there were four groups of children that were working in various activities…

make inferences?
Because they assist in drawing conclusions in particular situations. List and briefly outline the steps in psychological research. Identification of the research topic: Finding a topic or problem to be researched. Development of Hypothesis: Developing a testable prediction for what you think will happen. Determining the Method: Determining how the research will be carried out Data collection: Data is collected in a way that adheres to the area search Method and Data should be…

Scomber scombrus and the Merluccius bilinearis have to use their speed to catch their food. When racing to catch their prey, the Scomber scombrus and the Merluccius bilinearis use large amounts of oxygen, and therefore the gills have to be very efficient in collecting and absorbing oxygen. This is why the mass specific surface area is the highest in the Scomber scombrus and the Merluccius bilinearis. The data confirms that the evolutionary traits in the gills of the fish, such as surface area…

Common sense realism is a philosophy of mind rooted in a theory of perception that claims that the senses provide us with direct awareness of the external world in contrast some forms of idealism asserts that no world exists apart from my dependent ideas and some forms of skepticism says we cannot trust our senses. The realist view is that we perceive object as they really are they are composed of matter and occupy space and have properties such as size, shape, taste, color that are usually…

Studying a problem can be accomplished in two ways – experimental research and observational research, and there are advantages and disadvantages to each. In regards to the speculation concerning what creates a genius (inherent genetic advantages or intense practice at a young age), this paper will discuss the validity behind the nurturing explanation and the creation of an experiment to help prove it. First, there are various pros and cons to the types of research that can be applied.…

The hypothesis was proven wrong by the timing and values of the graph. I believe this was caused by the enzyme having to break apart a heightened amount of substrates in the mixed test tubes. This caused the initial data to yield a quicker reaction (on the basest of browning in color) compared to the altered data. The independent variable of this experiment was time, while the dependent variable was the color as the reaction is completely dependent on the duration of time. There were numerous…

In designing our science fair project, many concepts and variables are to be considered. Our science fair project is experimenting on how rust forms so research and prior knowledge is required before we actually conduct the experiment. Having previous information on the topic allows us to be able to alter the variables accurately when we actually administer the procedure. For our project, we are exploring the idea of the formation of rust and how the lack of or extra variables could affect the…
