What are the key components of a scientific report?
A scientific report contains an explanatory title, an abstract with aims and findings, an introduction explaining the purpose, several sources, supporting statements, citations, and references.
What are statistical tests used for?
Statistical tests are mathematical formulations that help scientists determine whether the differences between the means are likely or unlikely to have occurred by chance.
What is compromised validity?
Compromised validity occurs when factors other than the independent variable (confounding variables) influence the value of the dependent variable.
What is selection bias?
Selection bias is the selection of a sample in a non-random way, making the sample not representative of the whole population. This can be prevented with representative sampling.
What does the introduction of a research study provide?
The introduction provides information on why the study was done, places it in the context of existing understanding, and explains the choices of method, results, and discussion.
What do error bars represent?
Error bars represent the variability of the data around a mean. If error bars do not overlap, the difference between the treatment and the control might be significant.
What are outliers in data?
Outliers are data points that are not on the line of best fit and may indicate an anomalous result that is not valid.
