Skill 3: Identifying Types of Data
Sys
Hypotheses are tested by evidence collected in the form of scientific data, or
information obtained using specific analytical methods as part of an experiment or
empirical observation. Scientific data can be qualitative or quantitative. Quantitative
data are expressed as numeric values, rendering observations more objective and
quantifiable, and can be either discrete of continuous. Discrete data can only take
certain values (such as whole numbers), whereas continuous data can take any value
mei
within a range and can be represented by fractions and decimals. Qualitative, or
categorical, data are descriptive, pertaining to properties that are difficult or
impossible to express numerically, such as aspects of behavior or complex shape.

- 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_forwardIn this table, give a 2-sentence/50-word maximum rationale for your choice of the most useful study (MU) and a 2-sentence/50-word maximum rationale for your choice of the study most clearly showing science's limitations (L).

She believes that one needs to combine no snacking with the elimination of carbohydrates in their meals. Please explain how Dr. Vanier may test this hypothesis by describing the research design.

Finally, describe what she needs to find (i.e., what type of effect and what it looks like) in the experiment to support her hypothesis.

Write statements that reflect your own views of what is right and wrong. If you really love animals, an example of one guideline might be "No animals may be used in research of any kind." However, when coming up with these guidelines, be thoughtful about what they really mean. Think of the information you read about earlier. Try to phrase your guidelines in a way that would allow research that you think would be beneficial to still be done. You may find that certain circumstances may cause you to rethink your own ethics!arrow_forward
- Dr. I.M. Bright is studying whether digital or real life exhibits at the Greensboro Science Center are preferred by 8-year-old children. Specifically, she will examine whether participants spend more time at the digital animal exhibit or the real animal exhibit. In deciding how to divide children in her sample, she assigns the children who visit in the morning to the digital animal exhibit and the children who visit in the afternoon to the real animal exhibit. She records the amount of active engagement (i.e., time spent) by children at each exhibit. Dr. Bright found that children spent significantly more time in the digital animal exhibit as compared to the real exhibit and therefore concludes that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits. (1) Define the term “research confound.” Does Dr. Bright have any research confounds in her study (and if so, list them)? (2) Is Dr. Bright’s conclusion that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits valid?
