Question

What is the hypothesis, DV, IV, and CV?

Answer 1

CLAIM: Some people claim that watching television makes you dumb – even about the biggest threat currently facing our country – like whether or not antibiotics kills viruses as well as bacteria. Another potential explanation is that television is not the problem, socializing in bars is what makes you less likely to know basic facts, like antibiotics do not kill viruses.

There are three variables discussed in the above claims: socbar, viruses_r, tvhours, below are their frequencies. The number in the first column indicates the value for each category within that variable. So, the “1” for “Almost Daily” means that person spends almost everyday at the bar.

Answer 2

waow this looks fun, must be nice being a senior

Answer 3

LOL idk if you're joking or not

Answer 4

You may never know

Answer 5

-_-

Answer 6

Definitely math though with a mixture of science

Answer 7

Kill me !

Answer 8

Okay, are you familiar with any of this?

Answer 9

So the way it's worded is kind of confusing but IV is what influences the DV, so in the first claim its tv hours (IV) -> making dumb (DV).

Answer 10

In the latter claim, it's bar hours as the IV influencing whether or not you're dumb, DV

Answer 11

There can only be one IV

Answer 12

Question: Based on the above claim, what is the main hypothesis? Additionally, list the name of the variables for the dependent variable, independent variable and control variable. Clearly state the IV, the DV, and the control variable.

Answer 13

And the three variables to choose from are socbar, viruses_r, tvhours

Answer 14

This sounds like the hypothesis: Another potential explanation is that television is not the problem, socializing in bars is what makes you less likely to know basic facts, like antibiotics do not kill viruses.

Answer 15

You're telling me they gave me the hypothesis? No way, the professor is not that kind

Answer 16

Basically the claim is that socializing in bars makes you dumb

Answer 17

And since the arg is that this is in despite of tv hours, we're looking at the influence of socializing in bars on being dumb, perhaps tv hours is CV

Answer 18

What I don't understand is what viruses_r is

Answer 19

Okay, that makes sense

Answer 20

Why does the binary coding of viruses have a role in this experiment

Answer 21

Ig that's the DV where it's whether if they know it's killed by antibiotics or not

Answer 22

To make us miserable

Answer 23

So the IV is either tv hours or socbar

Answer 24

Yeah, I'm not settled on socbar because the wording is purposefully made ambiguous. I think you're supposed to tell based off of looking at the data and seeing what fits the nature of what's an IV.

Answer 25

IV is manipulated and CV is held constant

Answer 26

bro yes, that's what the data is for

Answer 27

There's nothing constant about the data

Answer 28

ik, which is why I leaned towards tv hours as the cv since it sounds like the hypothesis wants to prove it's socializing in bars that's the problem

Answer 29

Agreed

Answer 30

I might ask for some 2nd opinions

Answer 31

Sure

Answer 32

@ScamTheMan

Answer 33

Honestly, the writing in this is very strange and incoherent. It's extremely confusing in my opinion, but from what I'm getting the hypothesis, IV, DV, and CV:


Hypothesis: Socializing in bars and/or watching more TV makes you less likely to know basic facts.

Dependent Variable: The lack of basic facts or the knowledge of them.

Independent Variable: Amount of Television watched, or the amount of time spent at a bar

Constants: Although there aren't many, one of the biggest constants would be how they are measuring or graphing the information. They are using frequency, valid, and Cakeulative percents. But I'm not too sure.

Answer 34

mhm it is a weird q, I'll see if Vocaloid is available.

Answer 35

She may or may not be busy but honestly I think tv is cv, viruses dv, and socbar iv.

Answer 36

Not him coming up with his own dv

Answer 37

ye this prof is kind of troll

Answer 38

He's a professor?

Answer 39

Would having a model summary help

Answer 40

I meant with the question xd

Answer 41

Whichever model makes sense the most is the answer

Answer 42

Oh lmao

Answer 43

WAIT AND I HAVE TO FIND THESE FOR THE APPROPRIATE MODEL, say sike rn

Answer 44

Do you know how to find the R2 value, constant value, both regression coefficient values, and the sig values for the constant and regression coefficients omg

Answer 45

He didn't even teach us this wt f

Answer 46

Yeah no lmao

Answer 47

Is this math or science?

Answer 48

I think you gotta make buddies with the TA or some tutor

Answer 49

It's statistics

Answer 50

Wait I thought you knew stats

Answer 51

I mean I do but from ages ago. Don't have the time to relearn it rn unfortunately

Answer 52

Ugh do you know anyone that does know

Answer 53

So are you sure about the dv?

Answer 54

no it's 4

Answer 55

4 what?
