There are two types of hypothesis statements: the null hypothesis‚ which is a statement about the population‚ and the alternate hypothesis that is the statement accepted when the null hypothesis is rejected.

Toxicology Lab 1. In this investigation‚ a wide range of concentrations of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) solution were created and the effects that they had on radish seeds were tested. This ultimately created a doseresponse experiment in which it was detectable whether or not radish seeds were a reliable bioassay for the toxicity of NaCl. The goal of this experiment was to determine a correlation between toxicity and seed germination/radicle

What Factors Affect the Rate of Photosynthesis in living leaves? Abstract: In this lab‚ four different types of leaves were tested to see the rate at which each leaf photosynthesized. This lab demonstrates how plants store light‚ capture light‚ and use light as energy for reproduction and growth‚ by photosynthesis. The control in this experiment was spinach‚ which was tested before any of the other plants were. The other plants that were tested were English Ivy‚ C4 Plant‚ and a multicolored

5 Step Hypothesis for Regression Team D will conduct a test on the hypotheses : H₀: M₁ ≤ M₂ The null hypothesis states that non-European Union countries (M₁) have a lesser/equal to life expectancy than European Union countries (M₂). H₁: M₁ > M₂ The alternative hypothesis states that non-European Union (M₁) countries have a greater life expectancy than European Union countries (M₂). Team D will conduct research with a level of significance of α = .05 Identify the test statistic: Team

Project proposal Purpose To test whether the lunar effect is a reality or simply a myth‚ I will conduct a study to see if there is any correlation between the lunar phases and birth rate. Independent variable: Lunar phases Dependent variable: Birth rate Background The lunar effect is the idea that there is a correlation between the lunar phases and changes in living beings on Earth‚ including humans. Many people believe that the lunar effect on
