What are four ways a scientist can reduce bias in scientific investigation

1 answer:

7 0

1.If the scientist does a blind study, were he or she does not know which item they are testing 
2) Tool used. making sure whatever measurement the investigator is using should be valid and reliable. avoiding the possible results to become biased and unstable due to errors which should be avoided 
3) Sampling method. obtain the samples which are appropriate and that would cover the entire participants studied- not a half but the entirely of what you want to study. entirely means as much as the possible sample covers. 
4) Have some one else double check your findings. hope that helped

Kenny has a sore throat and visits the doctor. The nurse collects a throat swab, places the swab on a petri dish, and then place

Doss [256]

The answer is C: because growth at 37°C would be ideal for revealing bacteria that are human pathogens. 37°C is equivalent to 98.6°F, the normal body temperature for humans. If bacteria are reproducing at this temperature in a petri dish, they are also most likely reproducing in the body.

Cultures are made so doctors can be sure a person is sick with a specific bacteria often in order to make sure they are taking the right medication to get better. Choice A doesn't make sense, because we wouldn't want to kill the bacteria we are trying to study. Bacteria that makes us sick is harmful bacteria and is what we are trying to isolate. Choice B doesn't make sense, because they are only being incubated at one temperature, not a range or variety. Choice D is harder to rule out, but again the doctor wants the bacteria to reproduce so they can be sure that's what is causing the infection, so it wouldn't make sense that we would put the bacteria in a temperature they would not reproduce.

After three years of heavy rain, a field of soybeans shows a decreased yield. They have weaker root systems compared to plants i

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

It can be hypothesized that fungal pathogen is responsible for decreased yield.

Explanation:

As the extensive heavy rain changed the climate of that area the soybean plant was effected by pathogenic fungus grown in the field. As we know that fungi makes spores that can withstand harsh environment. Humid and moist environment is favorable for fungi growth. So when spores find a suitable environment they grow rapidly. In the given example, the fungi was pathogenic that produced toxic compounds and effected the growth of soybean plant by damaging its root system and water supply to plant.

Savatey [412]

The answer is through facilitated diffusion. It is then called as the transport of substances in a biological membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration area though carrier proteins. Hope this is the right answer and would be of help.
