iv. Experiment: A procedure to test a hypothesis, often involving manipulation of variables and control groups.
v. Data Collection: The process of gathering information from experiments or observations for use in analysis.
vi. Data Organization: Arranging data systematically for it to be analyzed and interpreted.
vii. Ratios: A mathematical expression that compares two quantities, showing the relative sizes of two quantities.
viii. Proportions: A statement that two ratios are equivalent, used to solve for unknown quantities.
ix. Data Analysis: The process of examining, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data to discover useful information.
x. Statistical Analysis: The use of statistics to analyze and interpret data and draw conclusions.
xi. Inference: A conclusion drawn from evidence and reasoning, particularly during scientific processes.
xii. Confirmation of Hypothesis: The process of establishing a hypothesis as reasonable or true based on experimental evidence.
xiii. Rejection of Hypothesis: The dismissal of a hypothesis due to lack of support from the data.
xiv. Modification of Hypothesis: Adjusting the original hypothesis in light of new data and insights.
xv. Control Group: A set of subjects in an experiment who are kept under standard conditions to serve as a comparison for the experimental group.
xvi. Variable: Any factor or condition that can vary or be varied in an experiment.
xvii. Measurement: The act of determining the size, quantity, or degree of something, typically using tools and units of measurement.
xviii. Estimation: The act of making an approximate judgment or calculation, often without the aid of exact data.
