1. The first step in the scientific method is: a. state a hypothesis c. conduct an experiment b. make an observation d. make a prediction 2. In an experiment, the condition being measured or tested is called the: a. dependent variable c. controlled variable b. independent variable d. blind 3. Variables that are held constant during an experiment are called the: a. dependent variables c. controlled variables b. independent variables d. blind 4. The condition that is being evaluated for it effect in an experiment is called the: a. dependent variable c. controlled variable b. independent variable d. blind 5.

1. Science is about coming up with a hypothesis and a) proving it to be true b) predicting the answer c) plotting it on a graph d) testing it 2. A/An ___________ is a tentative solution to a problem or question and should be based on background knowledge and observations. a) hypothesis b) experimental design c) theory d) scientific law 3. In an experiment, the variable that you will measure is the ____________ variable. a) independent b) hypothetical c) dependent d) strategic 4. To determine if your hypothesis is supported or not in the analysis phase, you will need to a) place experimental data in a graph and interpret it. b) create an alternative hypothesis c) record your data in a notebook d) create the strategy for your experiment

Observations of the effect of treatments is recorded. What is analysis of covariance used to test? A. the difference between two or more means B. the main and interaction effects of categorical variables on a continuous dependent variable, controlling for the effects of selected other continuous variables C. compares observed frequencies to expected frequencies Which of the following are necessary assumptions to conduct a one-way ANOVA comparing p population means? A. The p populations of values of the response variable associated with the treatments have equal variances. B. The p populations of values of the response variable associated with the treatments all have normal distributions. C. The samples of experimental units associated with the treatments are randomly selected, independent samples. D. All of the above. In a one-way ANOVA, different levels of the factor are called A. treatments. B. variables. C. responses. D. observations.
