What does data mean in science?
Data are either the results of experiment express in the measure form of numbers, or those numbers under some conditions of statistical analysis.
What happens under the conditions?
To what, under which conditions?
What is what scientist expect to happen every time under a particular set of conditions?
If all conditions are the same, then the same results will occur. (Objective reality is deterministic.) If a scientific theory predicts a certain result but it does not occur always, then the theory is incomplete or incorrect (or both).
Should scientists repeat experiments to see if their data is reproducible?
Scientists make more mistakes than not. It is part of the business and why they call their work "experiments". As a working scientists you try to keep your basics constant. You control the pH of your solutions, the don't switch suppliers for even basic salts mid-experiment. Most importantly you repeat experiments several times and use statistical analysis to support your conclusions. The goal of scientist is to have his/her results confirmed by repetition by others. If it isn't reproducible than it isn't believable. But wrong conclusions.... Record your mistake in the results and talk about it in the conclusion/examination of data.
Why might scientists repeat a study under slightly different circumstances than the original?
The original conditions may not have been conducent to good results, for example, scientists testing heat transfer and didn't use a completely closed environment in their experiment may have the conditions changed by other scientists who are peer-reviewing the experiment. They may also change it to see how the change alters the results
Under what conditions will the weighted average and FIFO methods give similar result?
These would yield similar results if your cost of purchasing inventory from suppliers has stayed relatively constant.
What does tolerance mean in scientific term?
Ability to survive and reproduce under conditions that differ from their optimal conditions
What Forms in a gaseous state under similar conditions of oil is?
natural gas
Why is it hard for the results of one experiment to become a theory?
For something to become a theory it must be widely recognized as a legitimate way to answer the certain question. The trouble with the results of one experiment is that it may be true or perhaps the results depend on a hidden variable or more. If the results are replicated under slightly different conditions, we become more confident in the generalizing of the results. (Concept: It happened in this experiment vs. it will happen in all similar experiments.)
Can dominate zoo plankton community of temperate waters?
Yes, zoo plankton communities can thrive under the right conditions. Mainly water conditions have to be controlled to achieve this results .
Will flow time of tap water and distilled water be the same why?
Under similar conditions there would be no significant difference
Which elements are used to make computer chips due to their ability to conduct electricity only under certain conditions?
metalloids
What happen when identical objects are dropped under different gravitational conditions?
when you drop an identical object in different gravitational conditions it will not have a similar acceleration because the gravity are different.
What does data mean in science?
Data are either the results of experiment express in the measure form of numbers, or those numbers under some conditions of statistical analysis.
What happens under the conditions?
To what, under which conditions?
Is nitrogen a part of the noble gas family?
No. It is however highly unreactive, similar to noble gases (except under extreme conditions)
Is it in the field conditions or under field conditions?
"Under field conditions" is more idiomatic.
