Laboratory Objectives A scientific theory is a proven scientific statement that can be confirmed by repeated experiments. A hypothesis is a scientific assumption that still requires proof. Falsifiability is a property of the theory, characterizing the possibility of its fundamental refutation. Replication is repeated repeatability of the same (or similar)...

Objectives, Questions, and Hypotheses in Qualitative and Quantitative Research

The purpose of qualitative research is to evaluate a phenomenon and identify the factors that influence it significantly. It often begins with a limited understanding of the situation and the expected outcomes, discovering them through analysis of information collected over the course of the study. As such, qualitative research objectives...

Statistical Reasoning and Thinking

The Four Dimensions of Statistical Reasoning The four dimensions are an interrogative cycle, types of thinking, investigative cycle, as well as dispositions. They contain specific and generic statistical thinking habits that operate simultaneously within the thinker. Five thinking types that are marked fundamental are consideration of variation, transnumeration, need for...

Standard and Nonstandard Normal Distribution in Statistics

The probability or chance of an event occurring is the probability or chance of it happening. In the most straightforward cases, to calculate the likelihood of event A occurring, divide the total number of events by the number of possible outcomes; after obtaining the probability of event A and its...

Sampling and Non-Probability Methods

Probability and non-probability sampling are techniques utilized to select part of a target population to conduct a survey. Probability sampling refers to a sampling method that involves the probability theory whereby the likelihood of any unit’s knowledge of being selected is employed (Langer 2018). Therefore, every target population member has...

Physics. Friction: Ways of Increasing and Reducing

As a fundamental physical process, friction is an essential characteristic of the mechanical interaction between contacting bodies and their surfaces. Indeed, it is only theoretically possible to assume perfectly smooth surfaces that do not experience friction, since in practice achieving such a condition seems impossible or extremely difficult. Friction between...

The Importance of Including the Effect Size Into Study Reports

Introduction Effect size is an important statistic that reflects the strength/magnitude of a relationship between two variables.
