A researcher is studying relationship between speed of cycling and the presence of people. Formulate a relevant hypothesis and identify the independent and dependent variables.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Hypothesis - As the speed of cycling increases it makes people move away from the cycle
Explanation:
Field experiment - Two market places
A boy is asked to ride a bicycle with different speeds in the market.
When the speed of the cycle has increased, the people move away from it quickly and when the speed of the cycle is normal, people will less likely to move away from it.
Relationship between speed of cycling and the presence of people.
Explanation:
Theory: Relation between speed of cycling and the presence of people
Variable: a stimulus or an event that can be subjected to variations and measured with different values
Independent variable: manipulated during the experiment, the causal factor of an experiment. In the given case it is the varying speed of the cycling
Dependent variable: measured during the experiment and the effect factor. The changes observed with people is the effect
Hypothesis: It will be observed that the movement of people depends upon the speed of the cycle which passes along them.
If the cycle moves faster, the people would move away faster; and if the cycle speed is reduced, the people also would not bother much and would move away slowly.
However, in a cycle race, the presence of more people participating would increase the speed of cycle due to social facilitation effect.
