An experiment can be seen as a structured method for collecting data to test a hypothesis. The process of designing a good experiment involves reducing unknowns and establishing a clear relationship between the hypotheis and any expected results. does the collected data actually support (or refute) the hypothesis? is there enough data to draw a conclusion? are there other factors effecting the outcome? | An experiment can be seen as a structured method for collecting evidence to test a hypothesis. The process of designing a good experiment involves reducing unknowns and establishing a clear relationship between the hypotheis and any expected results. is there a causal relationship that can be established between the intitial conditions and the result? does the collected data actually support (or refute) the hypothesis? is there enough data to draw a conclusion? are there other factors effecting the outcome? |
