In the course of a conversation, you observe that three of your friends like horror movies. Horror movies happen to be your favorite type of movie as well. You also know
that all of these friends were born in the same week that you were, even in the same year.
An astrology-loving friend hypothesizes that people born in that week like horror movies more than other genres of movies. You decide to use the scientific method to test
this hypothesis.
Part A
What should you do next?
O Come up with a theory to explain why movie preference is related to birth week.
O Perform experiments to test your hypothesis.
O Propose several alternative hypotheses.
O Refine your hypothesis.

- 1-12 The life expectancy of a citizen in the United States is 76 years. Eighty years ago it was 56 years. In your opinion, what was the major contributor to this spectacular increase in life expectancy? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardThe Chemistry in Focus segment titled Dr. Ruth—cotton Hero discusses the enormous contribution of Dr. Ruth Rogan Benerito to the survival of the cotton fabric industry in the United States. In the discussion, it was mentioned that Dr. Benerito became a chemist when women were not expected to be interested in, or good at, scientific subjects. Has this attitude changed? Among your own friends, approximately how many of your female friends are studying a science? How many plan to pursue a career in science? Discuss.arrow_forwardAfter creating her standard curve for absorption versus the concentration (M) of FD&C Red 40 and processing her data, Sally found that her drinking strength Kool-Aid sample had a concentration of 4.692 x 10–5 M. If 0.132 grams of Kool-Aid powder was used to prepare an 8-fl oz cup of her assigned flavor, what is the percent by mass of FD&C Red 40 in her Kool-aid powder? Report your answer as a percentage with two places after the decimal. Do not include the percentage sign in your answer. Pay attention to units. You are trying to find the mass percentage of red dye, so you need to know each variable in the equation in Appendix B. Note that the percent by mass equation should be multiplied by 100. There may be some useful conversion factors in the experimental procedure.arrow_forward

If the ED50 value of ethanol is 470 mg/kg body mass, what dose would a 70 kg party goer need to quickly consume in order to have a 50% chance of getting a buzz? 235 mg 470 mg 32,900 mg 35,000,000 mgarrow_forwardIn my on-campus Organic Chemistry II Lab, my students make aspirin. The melting point in the literature for aspirin is 134-136°C. Suppose the sample of aspirin one of my students made has a melting point range of 129-133 °C. Using this information, answer the following: 1. Do you think the student made aspirin? Why or why not? 2. How could you test your hypothesis? Explain what you would do and what the results would look like if they made aspirin versus if they didn't.arrow_forwardYou receive the following prescription for a 4-year-old patient: Gia 20 ms R clindamycin 150 mg tid for 10 days Clindamycin is available in 100 mL containers at 75 mg/5 mL.

- The Covid-19 pandemic has many experts commenting on the science associated with the virus - origins, vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, masks, social distancing. It is important to consider what the experts say, but to also evaluate their statements. We will start with the scientific method. I want you to outline the scientific method from what you have been taught in previous classes. You can list steps, parts, process, short descriptions, whatever. If not taught in previous classes, then you will make your best guess about it.arrow_forwardi need the answer quicklyarrow_forwardPlease don't copy pharmaceuticals can be delivered by intravenous (IV) fluid.
