LAB 1 Background and Hypothesis: I know I haven’t passed the lab 1 H and B but I really do not want to lose points again just for the fact I didn’t get it done in time. I already lost -5 pts and I really don’t want to lose -20 pts. So I am just gonna go on a whim here and just get it done through here so it doesn’t automatically fail me without me at least trying.

What is Positive Accounting Theory? Positive Accounting Theory is the branch of academic research in accounting that tries to make good predictions of real world events and translate them to accounting transactions. This contrasts with normative accounting theory‚ which that tries to recommend what should be done. Positive Theories try to explain and predicts actions such as which accounting policies firms will choose and how firms will react to newly proposed accounting standards. Positive

The hypothesis for Study 1 considers the idea that students who watch a fire safety video will be more likely to know more about fire safety procedures than those who watch a different video. This hypothesis poses a question that is able to be studied experimentally. In an experimental study there are two necessary

In the Tomato plant experiment the method was used to determine why the tomato plant was growing smaller tomatoes. The observation was that in the past few years you planted tomatoes in the same spot but noticed the smaller portions‚ and also noticed the cooler and drier summers. The question was‚ “why they were bearing fewer tomatoes?” to follow with a number of hypothesis‚ that included‚ warmth‚ water and nutrients

Lab 3: Experimental Design & Hypothesis Testing 1. Some observations found about termites are that they live in moist‚ dark environments‚ they are sterile and lack eyes‚ and their primary task is to collect food. From this information the hypothesis that due to their lack of eyes‚ they use feeling of their skin to find what they are searching for and a pencil line would give a feeling of wood that would attract the termites. By making a course that split into two paths of a pen line and pencil line
