Chapter 8: Hypothesis Testing: 8.1 Review and Preview: The two main activities of inferential statistics are using sample data to (1) estimate a population parameter (such as estimating a population parameter with a confidence interval)‚ and (2) test a hypothesis or claim about a population parameter. Hypothesis: a claim or statement about a property of a population Hypothesis test/test of significance: a procedure for testing a claim about a property of a population Population proportion

Using Sucrose Solutions to Determine Osmolarity of Potato Tubers Based on Weight By Thomas Pelikan Biology 200A Section 004 Kimberly Schmidt October 2‚ 2012 Abstract: In this experiment we were trying to determine the osmolarity of potato tubers by weighing them before and after incubating them in solutions of sucrose with varying molarities. To find the osmolarity we took a potato and used a cork borer to obtain seven samples of potato tubers. We then prepared seven beakers with concentrations
