A treatment in an experiment is the independent variable or condition that a subject is being placed under. Right now there is 4 people in my house that have been sick. As a family, we decided to each try a different type of medicine that would work the best to get rid of the cold and then which ever one worked the best, we would all use. Each type of medicine that was used would be the different treatments

In chemistry class, we used a logarithmic transformation of a graph to linearize a graph for first order reaction graphs. A logarithmic transformation helps create a linear model that can be analyzed more easily with a r value.

My brother posted this cartoon on his Facebook page. It is a very common misconception for students to assume that correlation implies causation when it does not. Correlation is when two random variables are strongly linked to each other.

I heard on the radio this morning of Elvis Duran and his recent weight loss surgery. This surgery seemed unhealthy to me, so I researched a little. This experiment showed that having the weight loss surgery was healthy for the patients. The sample or people used in this experiment were willing volunteers whom were classified as obese.

My basketball coach uses an average or mean value in many different circumstances when we are scouting for another team. He gives us the average points per game for every player on the team and the average points per game for the whole team. These are found by adding up the totals for each game and then dividing by the number of games total.

In Psychology, we learned about one of the most well-known experiments in the history of Psychology. This experiment is called the Stanford Prison experiment. Students at Stanford were either assigned to be a prisoner or a guard. They were then kept in made prisons on campus and the guards were too enforce as if it were a real prison. The experiment was significant because the students that were guards became very violent when they were given the authoritative position.

was a 1971 experiment conducted by Phillip Zimbardo at Stanford University that simulated a prison environment and divided students into guards and prisoners in order to study the psychological impacts of power and control. The Stanford Prison Experiment was set to run for two weeks, but according to Zimbardo, was stopped after six days because "the guards became so brutal."

The study began replicating real prison conditions for prisoners by arresting them and stripping them naked, cleaning their bodies in case they had lice, and forcing them into a prison outfit with a chain around their ankle. They were each assigned a number, and were to be referred to by that number only. This was all an attempt to dehumanize them.

Guards were giving no guard training, but instead left to govern on their own. They made up rules, but slowly over the week, the rules began to deteriorate. Guards would try harder and harder to assert their dominance over the prisoners, and the encounters got not only physical, but also psychological.

The environment no longer felt like an experiment. Even the psychologists in charge had succumbed to their roles as prison directors, and the prisoners were not free to leave, despite the fact that they had the right to go whenever they wanted. Parents of prisoners sent lawyers, who treated the situation as real, despite knowing it was an experiment.

The experiment had gone too far - video footage of nighttime encounters when head researchers were no longer around showed the truly abusive techniques of the guards.

The video on the experiment is available for purchase here.

While everyone was chatting at Thanksgiving dinner, the discussion was about the football game that was on TV. My brother, who often has a lot of useless information and knows a ton about animals, yelled out that it takes the NFL about 3,000 cows per year to provide enough leather for the footballs they use.

After all of the news about the Ebola outbreak, I wanted to know how many people had actually died. I found a bar graph on forbes.com that showed the Ebola deaths that had occurred in three West African countries over a 6 month time period.

Americans were surveyed and asked if they approved or disapproved of President Obama. This survey was shared with us by Mrs. Lukridge in government class as one of our current events. The survey that was shared with us was done by Gallup and it found that President Obama's approval rating was 46%. The survey was done via telephone interview.
