can someone correct this and tell me if im on the right track?

Question

can someoene correct this
hypothesis: how long can a band-aid tough strip last compared to regular water proof band-aids?
indepedent variable: tough band -aids
dependent variable: how long it will last
control group: ordinary water proof band-aids
expiremetal constants: same placement of band-aid on index finger

Answer 1

your hypothesis should be what you think the result will be..but everything else is on the right track

Answer 2

Hypothesis: that band aid tough strips last longer than regular water proof bandaids.

Hypothesis is a statement not a question. The nul hypothesis is that there is no difference in the durability of tough band aids as compared to the control. The alternative hypothesis is that there is significant difference between the durability of tough bandaids and the control.

You would need a large number of replicates as conditions on the fingers of different individuals may vary quite a bit.

Answer 3

Well you might be on the right track..but an hypothesis shouldn't be a question..it should be a statement.

for example: The band-aid tough strip last a certain period of time compare to regular water-proof band aids

the other things are ok

Answer 4

I'm not sure if anything's wrong or not, but I know there's flaws in the experiment.

The hypothesis- Band-Aid brand bandages are like filled with gloss or whatever, making it waterproof, making it virtually impossible to become soggy. Both sides of the experiment would probably take a few weeks/months to finish or for the gloss to wear off.

The constant shouldn't be like the placement on the index finger, because you can't keep a finger in there for that long.

Unless you're trying to prove how long a bandage lasts on your finger, I'm pretty sure there aren't any things wrong in your procedure.

Answer 5

that looks right except i the hypothesis is what you believe will happen as a result. so something like you think the band-aid tough strip will last longer thatn the regular water proof band aid

Answer 6

Actually sounds good. But get some friends to wear the bandaids so you have a bigger set of data to work with. Statistically, 30 minimum is ideal (for whatever reason, the tools are more confident in that 30 significantly rules out random chance factors than 29 does). You don't want a random freak event to really skewe your data.

Good luck.

Answer 7

You forgot a few variables, such as dirt, depth of cut, and temperature. Nice little experiment though, I would not do a 1X1 but try adding variables to get a 2X4 or 4X4. Then I would run an ANOVA and regression to correlate all the variables.

Answer 8

things that you have not taken into consideration you should stay in the same place when doing this experiment because lets say you go from your basement to your roof. the changes in heat and humidity could cuz the experiment to become tainted to an extent
this will only effect it a little but it may be significant depending on how large the diffrence is between the bandaids
good luck and i hope this helps

Answer 9

I don't know about your experiment criteria, but those waterproof ones suck. They tear too easily. Tough Strips are the only way to go.

Answer 10

it is a very good hypothesis. you have a controlled variable and it sounds like you are on the right track with all the information you have started with.

Good Luck!
