An example of how the scientific method works:- You suspect that a relationship exists between course grades and where students are seated in the class.
- Specifically, you think that students who sit closer to the front of the class receive higher the grades.
Three forms of our hypothesis:
General:- Students seated closer to the front receive higher grades.
A More Specific Form:- If students sit on the front row, then they receive As-- if they sit on the second row, then they receive Bs-- etc.
Using An Equation:- G = a + bD, where b is negative, meaning students seated closer (small D) receive higher grades (large G).
- Key is that we can compare hypothesis with data.
