Hypothesis

The Stroop effect by John Ridley was done in the year of (1935). The experiment tested the interference in serial verbal reactions. Frank H Durgin (2000) suggested that the Stroop effect was a way to prove that humans cannot multitask. Durgin also states that habit and strength are not responsible for the delay in reaction time. The processing speed theory states that there is an interference when a participant names black inked colors and when they name colors that are printed in different…

The question investigated in this experiment was how does the sow bug’s preference of habitat affect the concentration and distribution of the organisms. The purpose of this investigation was to decipher what habitats these organisms prefer to live in and how it would affect their population density. This was tested by a simple experimental design with four petri dishes that each represented a different environment. The control treatment was the dish with just dirt while the other habitats…

The hypothesis being tested in this experiment states that, as a result of the enhanced greenhouse effect, the air in a sealed container with transparent walls becomes warmer when exposed to sunlight. The procedure that was conducted in order to test the greenhouse effect is rather simple and demonstrates significant amounts of information that prove the hypothesis. The experiment involves two glass containers, Mason Jars, each containing an identical amount of soil. The soil is used to…

improvements needed (Bassuk & Washington, 2013). The third step is the formulation of hypotheses, where the investigator attempts to make educated guesses or predictions of answers to the identified problem. According to Neville-Neil (2013), a hypothesis may be true or false, but it must be a testable idea that leads to the establishment of a feasible solution to the problem.…

To test this hypothesis, objectives for the study include 1) inducing heat stress conditions in Hampshire wethers 2) feeding the β-adrenergic agonist, Zilpaterol hydrochloride in doses common to feedlot practices 3) analysis of feedlot performance (i.e. ADG, Feed to Gain…

to be accountable. The advantage in this hypotheses are the positive outcomes distributed with those who influence the cooperative behavior as oppose to those who do not give them the disadvantage to cooperate with others. In addition, the second hypothesis referenced, Group size will influence cooperation in groups in such a way that members of small groups will cooperate more than members of large groups (Wagner, 1986). This is where free riding,- avoidance of cooperation- are contemplated…

Scientific Validity of “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” Coral reefs are having a problem with pH levels and they are dying some places around the world right now, because of it. This is not only affecting the coral reefs, but the animals that live in them and survive with them. There is a Scientific Study called “Study links altered brain chemistry, behavioral impairments in fish exposed to elevated CO2” which discusses the behavior…

areas, (Nores et al., 2013). The primary pollinator of bougainvilleas is the bee, but other weather factors such as wind can affect pollination in bougainvilleas. The hypothesis of this experiment is that the weather in which a bougainvillea is, will affect how many pollinators the plant will encounter on a given day. The null hypothesis is that the weather has no effect on the amount of pollinators that visit the bougainvillea encounters. The reason these questions are important is because they…

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…

Both of the class readings by Carnap and Goldstein discuss what being considered a scientific facts means. Carnap refers to scientific facts as a singular statement that needs to be differentiated from universal laws due to the common misconception. Carnap argues that many people confuse laws with facts and use the term in the wrong sense. An example from Carnap’s writing is the statement that “all ice is cold” this would be considered a universal law because it suggests that any piece of ice at…
