Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 16TYK
The graph below shows the results of an experiment in which mice learned to run through a maze.
a. State the hypothesis and prediction that you think this experiment tested.
b. Which was the control group and which the experimental? Why was a control group needed?
c. List some variables that must have been controlled so as not to affect the results.
d. Do the data support the hypothesis? Explain.

Students have asked these similar questions
The purpose of the constant is to:
a. allow for adjustment of the control
b. eliminate other potential factors/variables in the experiment
c. allow for the dependent variable to show the necessary outcome
d. help prove the hypothesis correct
Why the results of the Swan-neck flask experiment were reliable ?: Select one: a. Because it maintained no controls at all b. Because proper controls were maintained and only one variable changed at a time c. Because many controls were maintained d. Because it was repeatedly done by several scientists e. Because it tested all variables at the same time
Answer as comprehensively and as briefly as you
can.
1. When is a hypothesis accepted?
2. Why is a variable included in an experiment?
3. Discuss the importance of a control in
interpreting the results of an experiment.

You observe that most of the pocket mice that live on dark rocks are dark black in coloration, and that the pocket mice that are light in color live on light-colored sand. You hypothesize that the coloration differences serve as camouflage protecting the mice against predators. Design an experiment to test your hypothesis. Describe this experiment in 3-4 sentences. In this description, make sure you indicate the following: dependent variable, independent variable, and your prediction.arrow_forward
