Question

Hey everybody, I'm sorry to bother you, but Science is not my thing whatsoever. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The scientific evidence that scientists use in supporting or critiquing the conclusions of experiments ussually consists of
a) raw data
b) outlier data
c) precise data
d) summarized data

Answer 1

i think the data is summarized...

Answer 2

I thnk so too, but at the same time I feel like it may be raw data

Answer 3

no it is raw data

Answer 4

Right on, I was right the first time. Thanks for all your help you guys :)

Answer 5

np

Answer 6

hm.... well yeh...it also can be raw data as Raw data (also known as primary data) is a term for data collected from a source.

Answer 7

You're Welcome :)

Answer 8

i dont think summarized would be right because that mean they basically figured out most of the kinks and stuff

Answer 9

yup....so it's raw data

Answer 10

it would have to be raw data before you summarize anything

Answer 11

Would you guys mind helping me with another one? I'm sorry, I really don't seem to be able to grasp what has been going on in my class lately.

Answer 12

what is it maybe i can help

Answer 13

Recently, crops of vegetables such as lettuce and green onions have been contaminated, while they are still on the farm, with bacteria that cause food poisoning. How will science influence the way the government responds to prevent an increase in food-borne diseases?
a) Because science has shown that lettuce and green onions are not nutritionally valuable, the government may pass laws that ban the sale of lettuce and green onions.
b) Because science has shown that there is no way to prevent bacterial contamination, the government may pass laws that punish businesses that buy lettuce and green onions.
c) Because science has shown that the washing of hands helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases among people, the government may pass laws that require hand washing by everyone who handles food.
d) Because science has shown there are ways to find the source of the contamination, the government may pass laws that require farm practices that reduce the contamination of lettuce and green onions.

Answer 14

My best guess is D, it seems to make the most sense but I'm not entirely sure

Answer 15

Yea "D" seem the most logical to me, plus i think they already have found a way to reduce contamination

Answer 16

It's likely, but I don't follow scientific discoveries as I probably should. I'm glad I'm at least understanding some of this. I really appreciate you helping check my answers and solve the problems. Thank you

Answer 17

Answer 18

Right on man

Answer 19

Ugh, here's another one if you're willing.

The development of a new experimental method is most likely to change a theory if it makes it possible to
a) analyze samples when they are frozen.
b) perform the experiment in a different lab.
c) obtain and analyze results more quickly.
d) study a larger sample size than before.


I'm feeling like it's between b and d.

Answer 20

i think it is C

Answer 21

a or d is the top two

Answer 22

Im not sure but d or a dont seem like they would change anything

Answer 23

Answer 25

Answer 26

b) 0.6°C higher than in 2010.
c) the same as it was in 1980.
d) the same as it was in 2000.
