Mrs. O’Grady wants to know if doing labs with her science class really helps them learn the material better. She decides to test this out in her two 6th grade science classes. In both classes she gives the same amount and type of notes and homework, but in one class she does labs and the other class she doesn’t. At the end of the unit, she gives both classes the same unit test and compares the class averages.what is the Independent variable: what is the Dependent variable:what is the Hypothesis:what is the Control group:what is the Experimental group:what is the Constants:what is the Possible threats to accuracy of results?

- What is the topic in statistics that is the most difficult ? Please be specific here. Saying “I don’t understand anything” or “I don’t understand module 7” are very vague and difficult for people to help with. Instead, try and narrow it down to something like “I am struggling computing Cohen’s d” or “I am struggling to determine whether we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.”arrow_forwardA UNF research team was exploring populations of worms on Greenwich and Half Moon Islands. They counted the number of worms on each island and recorded the information below.

- Being heterozygous for Sickle Cell allows a person to be resistant to malaria but comes at the cost of long term health problems like cardiac arrest and stroke. Being homozygous for Sickle Cell results in reduced life span. Which of the following is the least likely reason this trait persists in the population? the trait is recessive the trait does not harm carriers the trait generally has the most impact on patients post reproductive maturity the benefit is greater than the costarrow_forwardThe term Asian American refers to people of Asian descent who trace their roots to more than 20 different countries in Asia, including Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
