What is the difference between hypothesis and law? A hypothesis is a statement‚ put forth on the basis of reasoning‚ about the things that are being studied. A hypothesis is an educated guess based on past scientific studies and previous experiments. It is not just a random guess. Observation is followed by a hypothesis. For example ‘Plants need sunlight to grow’ can be a hypothesis. It is formulated by taking into account all the observations that are know about the phenomenon under investigation

Correlation and Regression Assignment Problem 1. a. Explain which variable you chose as the explanatory variable and discuss why. * The explanatory variable is the height. This is because I am assuming that as height increases‚ the weight will increase as well. So the weight is the dependent variable b. Produce a scatter plot and insert the result here. * Scatter plot c. Find the equation of the regression line‚ Write it in the form of y=a+bx‚ where a is the y-intercept

1. The Schumpeter hypothesis links firms operating under a monopoly market structure as most important for technological innovation. Arrow‚ on the other hand‚ suggests most progress can be achieved in a perfectly competitive market. Compare and contrast these two arguments. An important issue in economics is how market structure affects innovation. In 1934‚ Schumpeter observed that some markets become increasingly concentrated‚ both with respect to innovation activities and market competition

How to Analyze the Regression Analysis Output from Excel In a simple regression model‚ we are trying to determine if a variable Y is linearly dependent on variable X. That is‚ whenever X changes‚ Y also changes linearly. A linear relationship is a straight line relationship. In the form of an equation‚ this relationship can be expressed as Y = α + βX + e In this equation‚ Y is the dependent variable‚ and X is the independent variable. α is the intercept of the regression line‚ and β is the

(such as methamphetamine). In any case‚ chemically‚ dopamine is responsible for psychosis‚ which will be discussed below. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter in the brain with multiple functions. It has a role in motor control which is modulated through the nigro-striatal system‚ a role in behavior which is modulated through the mesolimbic and mesocortical systems‚ and a role in endocrine control which is modulated through the tuberoinfundibular system. The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia states that
