The reason is it’s easier to cut a smaller sample size from a larger population and use it to research and make generalizations about the larger group. ]]> 2018-11-15 16:12:41 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304877177 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304879513 In order for our experiment to have positive and reliable data we as a group need to include the high school students, coffee, and placebo. ]]> 2018-11-15 16:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304879513 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304881789 One half of the students selected from the simple random surveyed will be handed a cup of coffee, the other half of individual will be handed a placebo for coffee that they think is coffee. As researchers we as a group will collect their data based on behavior and prove the results and answer the essential question. ]]> 2018-11-15 16:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304881789 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304884875 According to our research and the way we have set up this experiment the explanatory variable is the coffee. The reason is because coffee is the type of independent variable and due to this this makes coffee not affected by any other variables.]]> 2018-11-15 16:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304884875 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304886875 The response variable out of the experiment is the individual’s energy. In statistics, a response variable is the variable about what a researcher is asking a question us as the researchers want to know of this variable “energy” responds to other factors being examined. ]]> 2018-11-15 16:28:37 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304886875 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304890554 For the experiment we split up the large group into smaller groups one group is upperclassmen, and the other group is underclasmen.]]> 2018-11-15 16:34:20 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304890554 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304893184 The control group is the placebo which is the one group that is receiving decaf coffee. ]]> 2018-11-15 16:38:53 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/304893184 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/305100453 In our experiment a lurking variable might include: hours of sleep per night, athletic, drug user, handles stress level, amount of social interaction, non coffee drinkers, family history of depression, any medical conditions that has a side effect of fatigued.]]> 2018-11-16 02:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/305100453 frfro249 https://padlet.com/frfro249/sykuwipkfqn8/wish/305100932 While being blind folded, individuals will be separated into two groups and us as researchers will give them a treatment of coffee and a placebo which is decaf coffee.
