Process of Conducting A Quality Statistics Experiment: To-Biology/science-Of-Biology/a/the-Science-Of-Biology

The document outlines the steps for conducting a quality statistics experiment. It discusses defining dependent and independent variables, components of scatter plots including lines of best fit and interpolation/extrapolation, and identifying outliers in data using box plots and interquartile ranges. The experiment focuses on determining the mathematical relationship between drop height and time of descent through collecting and analyzing data.

Process of Conducting a Quality Statistics Experiment

Using the 6 steps of the Scientific method, fill out the six criteria of information that pertains to

1 our given experiment. Our experiment focuses on determining the mathematical relationship
between Drop Height and Time of Descent. https://www.khanacademy.org/science/biology/intro-
to-biology/science-of-biology/a/the-science-of-biology
1. Make an Observation

2. Ask a Question

3. Form a hypothesis, or testable


explanation
4. Make a prediction based on the
hypothesis
5. Test the prediction

6. Iterate, use results to make a new


hypothesis or prediction

2 Define and identify the Dependent, Independent, and all the Controllable variables.

1. Dependent

2. Independent

3. Controlled

3 Components of a Scatter Plot Graph


https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/scatter-xy-plots.html
1. What is a
Scatter Plot?
2. Draw an
example
scatter plot, for
any
Independent
and Dependent
variables of
your choosing.
3. What is the Line of
Best Fit? Draw it
over your example
scatter plot
4. What is Interpolation? Using
a red pen, draw what
interpolation looks like on
your example scatter-plot.
5. What is Extrapolation? Using
a blue pen, draw what
extrapolation looks like on
your example scatter-plot.
6. Why must we be
careful with
Extrapolation?
7. What is the straight
line equation (line
of best fit)?
8. What is positive
correlation? Define
and draw a picture.

9. What is negative
correlation? Define
and draw a picture.

4 Outliers in Data: http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/handbook/prc/section1/prc16.htm

1. What is an outlier?

2. What is a box-plot
used for?
3. What is the
interquartile range,
and how is it found?
4. What factors may
have caused outliers in
our own experiment?
(Think about the
process of conducting
the experiment, and
what variables could
have affected our
experiment data.)
