Back to Work!

Back to the daily grind! I'm sure today was tough for a lot of us--time to shake off the rust and get back into our normal routines after a long break of relaxing, eating, sleeping, and hanging out.

Tonight's Homework:

Page 314-318:

• 9, 11, 13, 17
• For each of these state if the study is an experiment, retrospective observational study, or prospective observational study (ignore the other textbook directions)
• 33a
• Describe how to randomly assign "water or no water" to the 20 empty containers...
• 35
• Design an experiment!
• You can write a numbered procedure or diagram the experiment
• Your design should include:
• Clearly identify the treatment groups
• Describe how to assign treatments (randomly)
• Generally describe what should be done after treatments are assigned (1-2 sentences/bullets with a brief description)
• State we will "record and compare ______" --this should define your response variable
• BE DETAILED AND USE CONTEXT!
