Document Summary
Scientific method: a process that uses strict guidelines to ensure careful and systematic collection, organization, and analysis of information . The scientific method attempts to minimize the influence of bias or prejudice in the experimenter when testing an hypothesis. What would be observed if hypothesis cannot be rejected: data collection and analysis, interpretation and conclusion. Hypothesis 1: c. kyle left the shoe print at the crime scene. Hypothesis 2: vy left the shoe print at the crime scene. Hypothesis 3: someone other than c. kyle or vy left the shoe print at the crime scene. Hypothesis 1: shoe print at crime scene will have identical incidental marks in the same positions to those produced by a shoe found w/i the residence of c. kyle. Hypothesis 2: shoe print at crime scene will have identical incidental marks in the same positions to those produced by a shoe found w/i the residence of vy.
