RES8921 Discussion 3 – Hypothesis Testing

RES8921

Discussion 3: Hypotheses

Hypothesis Testing

Refer to your Huck text and the chapter titled, “Hypothesis Testing” (or some other source) and then provide the following information:

Based from the variables you presented in the second discussion write a Null and Alternate hypothesis.

  Ho: Null

  Ha: Alternate

The Huck text chapter on hypothesis testing offers many different examples of null and alternate hypothesis. Once you’ve stated your hypotheses, then read the final section of the chapter, The Meaning of Significance. Discuss whether or not you think the tests of your hypotheses may be significant in casual everyday language and in terms of statistical significance.

Cultural Assumptions – Reflect on John Henry’s chapter Magic

Cultural Assumptions

In a two- to three-page journal, reflect on John Henry’s chapter “Magic and the Origins of Modern Science” about the role of superstition in the origin of modern science. It can be shocking to learn that many of the “founding fathers” of modern science such as Isaac Newton believed in astrology, alchemy, numerology, and other pseudoscientific practices. How does the history told by Henry change the way you think about science generally and the founding fathers of modern science specifically? How were the cultural assumptions about science different during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries than they are now? What might be some similarly superstitious ideas that have influenced scientists in the 20th and 21st centuries that future generations might be surprised by?
