    ASSIGNMENT1

    1. Over the past decade, scientists have raised concerns about the lack of reproducibility
    in certain scientific fields, posing a threat to the credibility and integrity of scientific
    findings. A 2011 project aimed to replicate 100 psychology studies in three leading
    journals, revealing that only 39% of the studies showed the same results as the original
    experiments. This problem is not unique to psychology, as studies in cancer biology,
    economics, and other fields have also failed to replicate previous findings. Potential
    reasons for these failures include statistical issues, publication bias, and questionable
    research practices. Brian Nosek, a psychologist at the University of Virginia, co-founded
    the Center for Open Science, argues that perseverance in science is valued, and to
    address the reproducibility crisis, some scientists are advocating for more transparency
    and openness in research practices.

    2. One important component of scientific study that is frequently misinterpreted and


    misapplied is statistical significance. It is frequently understood to be a gauge of how
    credible or believable a study finding is, yet this understanding is incorrect. The best way
    to think of the p-value is as a gauge of how well the observed data and the null
    hypothesis—that there is no effect or difference—compile. A binary interpretation of the
    data is promoted by the current emphasis on statistical significance, which ignores the
    crucial importance of effect sizes, confidence intervals, and other quantitative markers of
    real-world relevance. Because it lacks solid theoretical or empirical support, the
    conventional 0.05 threshold for statistical significance is problematic. When analyzing
    and publishing statistical data, researchers should take a more thorough approach,
    putting special emphasis on effect sizes, confidence intervals, and the accuracy of
    estimates. Replicating results across multiple studies is essential for establishing the
    credibility and generalizability of scientific claims. By moving away from an
    overemphasis on statistical significance, the scientific community can improve the
    reliability and reproducibility of research findings.
