3) The following “cycle of copper” experiment is performed in some general chemistry laboratories. The series of reactions starts with copper wire and ends with metallic copper. The steps are as follows:

I. A piece of copper wire of known mass is allowed to react with concentrated nitric acid, the products are copper(II) nitrate , nitrogen dioxide, and water.

II. The copper(II) nitrate is treated with a sodium hydroxide solution to form copper(II) hydroxide.

III. On heating, the copper(II) hydroxide decomposes to yield copper(II) oxide.

IV. The copper(II) oxide is combined with concentrated sulfuric acid to yield copper(II) sulfate.

V. Copper(II) sulfate is treated with excess solid zinc metal to form metallic copper.

VI. The remaining zinc metal is treated with hydrochloric acid, and metallic copper is filtered, dried, and weighed.

a. Write a balanced chemical equation for each step. Be sure to pay attention to phase labels.

b. Classify each reaction as a precipitation, acid-base, or redox reaction.

c. Assuming that a student started with 65.6 g of copper, calculate the theoretical yield for each step

An experiment was done to test the effectiveness of a drug that is being considered for possible use in the treatment of people who experience chronic anxiety. Fifty people who are chronically anxious are identified through a local health clinic, and all 50 people give their informed consent to participate in the experiment. Twenty-five people are randomly assigned to the experimental group, and they receive the new drug. The other 25 people are randomly assigned to the control group, and they receive the commonly used drug. The participants in both groups are monitored by a physician and a clinical psychologist during the 6-week treatment period. After the treatment period, the participants provide a self-rating on a reliable and valid 20-point scale indicating the level of anxiety they are experiencing (higher scores indicate greater anxiety).

The mean self-rating in the experimental group was 10.2 (SD = 1.5), and the mean rating in the control group was 13.5 (SD = 2.0).

The .95 confidence interval for the mean self-rating in the experimental group was 9.6 to 10.8.

The .95 confidence interval for the control group was 12.7 to 14.3.

(1) Explain why a double-blind procedure would be useful in this experiment, and describe how the double-blind procedure could be carried out in this experiment.

     

(2) Focus on the descriptive statistics for this experiment. How would you describe the effect of the drug variable on anxiety ratings using the means for each condition? What do the standard deviations tell you about the anxiety ratings in the experiment?

     

(3) The probability associated with the test for the mean difference between the two groups was p = .01. What claim would you make about the effect of the treatment based on this probability? What claim would you make based on the estimates of the population means for the two groups in this experiment based on a comparison of the confidence intervals?

     

(4) The effect size for this experiment is d = .37. What information does this effect size tell you about the effectiveness of the drug beyond what you know from the test of statistical significance and from comparing the confidence intervals?

23.4Matching Dogs and Owners. Researchers constructed two test sheets, each sheet including 20 photos of the faces of dog-owner pairs taken at a dog-lovers field festival. The 20 sets of dog-owner pairs on the two sheets were equivalent with respect to breed, diversity of appearance, and gender of owners. On the first sheet, the dogs were matched with their owners, while on the second sheet, the dogs and owners were deliberately mismatched. Three experiments were conducted, and in all experiments, subjects were asked to “choose the set of dog-owner pairs that resemble each other, Sheet 1 or Sheet 2,” and were simply told the aim of the research was a “survey on dog-owner relationships.” In the first experiment, the original sheets were shown to subjects; in the second experiment, just the “mouth region” of the owners was blacked out in all the pictures on both sheets; while in the third experiment, just the “eye region” of the owners was blacked out. Subjects were assigned at random to the three experimental groups, and in each experiment, the number of subjects who selected the sheet with the dogs and their owners correctly matched was recorded. Experimenters were interested in whether blacking out portions of the face reduced the ability of subjects to correctly match dogs and owners.8 Here are the results:


Experiment
Number of Subjects Number Correctly Matched
Experiment 1 61 49
Experiment 2 (mouth blacked out) 51 37
Experiment 3 (eyes blacked out) 60 30
  1. Is there evidence that blacking out the mouth reduces a subject’s ability to choose the sheet which correctly matches the dogs and their owners? Follow the four-step process as exhibited in Examples 23.4 and 23.5.
  2. Is there evidence that blacking out the eyes reduces a subject’s ability to choose the sheet which correctly matches the dogs and their owners? Follow the four-step process as exhibited in Examples 23.4 and 23.5.
  3. Contrast your conclusions in parts (a) and (b) in the context of the problem using non-technical language.

The three questions are basically looking for an observation, asking the question and then giving the hypothesis, and then trying to prove it with simple experiments. Somebody help. Thank you!

1.State your observable events or a set of questions you are interested in understanding. For example, you ask why a flock of birds fly in a certain pattern
2. Clearly state your hypothesis that fits your observations.

3. Design a simple experiment to test your hypothesis. (namely, measurable outcome, proper control, enough sample number, randomization, and plausibility)



The following is the newly added information
1. You make an observation around your life, which can be either science-related or not. For example, you could watch a flock of birds flying in the sky in a certain pattern.

2. You then can ask a question on your observation. For example, you ask why a flock of birds fly in a certain pattern.

3. It is a time to formulate a good hypothesis based on the class discussion and your own research in the internet. In class, we discussed that a good hypothesis has to be a single sentence, which can be conceptually clear, testable by experiment, specific or precise, and must include both dependent and independent variables (cause and effect).

4. You have to propose an experiment which you can satisfy all six criteria we discussed in class, namely, measurable outcome, proper control, enough sample number, randomization, and plausibility. However, it is a proposed experiment, not an actually experiment you have to do. This means you need to clearly explain what and how you will perform to prove your hypothesis using inductive and deductive reasoning. As we discuss in class, a good experiment will result in “yes” or “no” answer. Since you will NOT perform the actual experiment, you can’t really predict the outcome. That means I will check whether you used a logical reasoning in designing your experiment to prove that your hypothesis is correct.

What is an Object?


Coad and Yourdon - A person or thing through which action, thought, or feeling is directed. Anything visible or tangible; a material product or substance.


James Martins – From a very early age, we form concepts. Each concept is a particular idea or understanding we have about our world. These concepts allow us to make sense of and reason about the things in our world. These things in our world. These things to which our concepts apply are called objects.


Grady Booch – A tangible and/or visible thing; something that may be apprehended intellectually; something toward which thought or action is directed. An individual, identifiable item, unit, or entity, either real or abstract, with a well-defined role in the problem domain. Anything with a crisply defined boundary.


Coleman - An object is a thing that can be distinctly identified. At the appropriate level of abstraction almost anything can be considered to be an object. Thus a specific person, organization, machine, or event can be regarded as an object.


OBJECT THINK


The object thinks approaches help us believe that an object in a computer system is like us. Hence to find out about the object, we let it talk about itself

An example is a button on a screen

I am a button on the screen

I know what window I am attached to


I know my position in the window


I know my height and width


I know background color


I know what the label that appears on me says


I know what to do when pushed


Using Object Think in terms of the environment the object is in.

An example is a dog

I am actually a dog

I know people call me Rover


I know people with certain voices and smells regularly feed me.


I know how to eat, sleep, roll over, bark and chase cars


  An example of a dog in the context of a veterinarian’s administrative work


I am a dog object in the work context of a veterinarian

I know my license number, name, breed, birth date and weight


I know the owner I am associated with.


I know the check up results I am associated with


I know my next appointment date and time


I know if my patients’ status is “all paid up” or “payment overdue”


TASK ONE


Identify and name the following objects and identify the work context based on the object think description provided.


             I am a ___________ in the work context of a ____________.


                        I know my title, author, and call number


                        I know how to be checked out.


                        I know how to be returned.


             I am a __________ in the work context of a ____________.


                        I know my title, author, publisher, price and ISBN number


                        I know how to be put on order


                        I know how to be stocked


                        I know how to be sold


                        I know how to be returned


TASK TWO


Use the object think approach to write description for the following


I am actually a car


I am a car object in the work context of a repair shop


I am a car object in the work context of a car collector.
