Planning Flashcards
(8 cards)
Precise
Don’t vary much from the mean, reduced by random error
Repeatable and reproducible
Same repeats w same methods,eq= same results and
Diff person, slightly diff method= same results
Valid
Answers orignal q, controll all v to test what’s required
Accurate
Close to true answ
Human intp of mst can reduce acc
Designing a good exp
Only 1v should change and other constant so only iv affects dv
Neg controls to check
Suggest imp to methods
Rep 5 times+ mean= red random errror so precise
Repeats= sim results so data is repeatable and exp is reproducable
Selecting apparatus
Measuring app has to be sensistive,
Appropriate for function and app technique
Limitations
1 species of 1 location, same day,time
Data analysed stastically for sig
Correlation doesn’t mean causation
