In experiment one‚ involving the rate of respiration of germinated peas when exposed to a variety of different temperatures. From a general standpoint the data collected matched the hypothesis formed‚ as the temperature increases the rate of respiration will increase as well. This was shown as the average ppm of oxygen was taken from each group. Comparing the data from the class is shows the effect of human error on the results. For example group #4 seemed to have back wards results this may

name comes from a joke about a Texan who fires some shots at the side of a barn‚ then paints a target centered on the biggest cluster of hits and claims to be a sharp shooter. The misconception of the Texas Sharpshooter is that you have to take randomness into account when determining cause and effect. The truth of the Texas Sharpshooter is that people will tend to ignore random chance when the results seem meaningful or when you want a random event to have a meaningful cause. One great example that
