Document Summary

Robert fisher did an experiment where 4 cups had the milk in first and 4 with the tea in first. The probability that one can get all 8 cups correct is 1 in 70. A chance to complete experiments for extra marks. Does federalism lead to better political representation. How do we stop patronage and instead get public goods. Does contact from political campaigns matter in an election. Assignment to treatment or control/comparison groups is random and the process of. Example: whether prof. kopstein wears a tie to class to teach randomization is known. Anything that is thought to havr an effect on some outcome. It is applied to some people and not to others. Or, it is applied at some times and not others. We put some subjects in treatment and some in control. What does it mean that this is done randomly. What we want to measure are causal effects.

Dieting is common in our society and everyone wants a piece of the action. So many diets are available to choose from if someone wants to change their health; e.g., lose weight. Often times, diets are promoted with claims of great success.

For the purposes of this assignment, you are to choose a particular diet and analyze it in terms of scientific evidence, or lack thereof. Then, you are to design a controlled experiment to test a hypothesis based on this diet. The experiment must include multiple individuals within a control and experimental group. You must specify how you will measure the outcome of the experiment identifying both the independent and dependent variables. You must describe the potential outcomes of the experiment in terms of supporting the hypothesis.

Grade 9 Science experiment:

Experiment: Compare brands of paper towels, to see which holds the most liquid. The independent variable in your experiment would be the brand of paper towel. The dependent variable would be the amount of liquid absorbed by the paper towel.

Come up with a problem, explain how you are going to control the experiment using a dependent variable, and use appropriate formats for displaying the observed and recorded data.
