We do not have any lurking variables as all of our flies were lab grown and were treated uniformly; there's no reason why any individual fly would have any different generalized behavior than any other fly]]> 2020-10-27 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867879734 cjlig718 https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867881081 We're using a randomized block design.

I got a margin of error of 3% which is pretty low, which is good because it indicates a great degree of representation, the results will likely be representative of the global population of flies.]]> 2020-10-27 23:41:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867882218 cjlig718 https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867883524 This experiment could be replicated, perhaps with more flies in each sample or with more trials to get more accurate results.]]> 2020-10-27 23:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867883524 cjlig718 https://padlet.com/cjlig718/3cok75l82dkhzqqk/wish/867884400 The honey had a significant effect on fly catch rate, the honey caught 259.9 flies more than vinegar on average.

We also bought 20 mason jars for $1 each, totaling at $20, 10 jars of honey for $5 each, $50 total, and we also bought 3 gallons of vinegar, but only used 2.5 gallons, at $2.50 each totaling $7.50.
