Researchers conducted an experiment to identify the effects of three different hand sanitizers on the growth of bacteria. The re

searchers grew one type of bacteria in twenty-four identical covered petri dishes. Then, they opened eighteen petri dishes and applied the three hand sanitizers to six petri dishes each. They left the remaining six petri dishes closed as a control group. When the researchers measured the growth of bacteria two days later, the six dishes that had no hand sanitizer showed the least amount of bacterial growth. The researchers concluded that not using any hand sanitizer would lead to the least bacterial growth.
Which statement best explains why the researchers’ conclusion was not justified?
The experiment tested too many variables.
The control group was not treated the same as the experimental group.
The sample size of twenty-four petri dishes is not large enough.
The single type of bacteria is not adequate to make any conclusions.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The control group was not treated the same as the experimental group.

Explanation:

A scientific experiment is performed to test the predicted hypothesis which in the given case is that "different hand sanitizes have a different effect on the growth of the bacteria".

The researcher divides 24 samples into two groups- 18 Petri-dishes divided into 3 groups with 6 Petri dish receiving different sanitizers each and rest 6 as control samples without treatment of the hand sanitizers.

The researcher performed the mistake while doing the experiment as he opened the experimental Petri dishes and kept them open whereas in the control group he kept the Petri dish closed which lead to the error in the results as the control showed least growth of the bacteria which should be high.  

This happened because the control and the experimental samples were not provided with the same question and thus is the correct answer.

Consider that a ray of light is travelling from glass to water. The refractive index of water is 1.30 (i e n . ., 1.30 w = ) and
Bess [88]

Answer:

\theta_i=49.88^{\circ}

Explanation:

Total internal reflection can happen when light goes from a medium with higher refractive index (in this case, glass) to a medium with lower refractive index (in this case, water).

Snell's Law tells us that n_isin\theta_i=n_rsin\theta_r, where the <em>i</em> stands for incident (in this case, glass) and the <em>r</em> for refracted (in this case, water). We want to know when \theta_r=90^{\circ}, that is, when n_isin\theta_i=n_r, and this happens when the incident angle is:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{n_r}{n_i})

Which for our values means:

\theta_i=arcsin(\frac{1.3}{1.7})=arcsin(0.76470588235)=49.88^{\circ}

If trees have leaves, then birds nests will increase. What the independent variable and the dependent variable?
Marianna [84]

The amount of birds nests depends on whether or not the trees have more or less leaves.

The independent should be the trees/leaves.

The dependent variable should be the birds nests.

Hope this helped ^-^

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

AM radio, FM radio, microwaves, sodium light.

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiation are waves from electromagnetic field which spread through the space or any other material medium and carries radiating energy. Examples includes X rays, radio waves, Gamma rays, etc. Exposure to high level of electromagnetic radiation could be harmful to human body, on the other hand, science as not been able to prove that exposing humans to low level electromagnetic radiation is harmful to our health.

Why do the passengers on a high-flying airplane not appear weightless, similar to the astronauts on the space station?
sergey [27]

<span>Even in space, there is still presence of gravity. The cause of weightlessness is not how far above the earth the space shuttle is but rather how fast it is travelling. The shuttle is in free fall causing weightlessness, but it is travelling fast enough to miss the earth as it falls. Similarly, the airplane could also provide weightlessness if it went free fall as well. However, that ends as the plane hits the ground. </span>
