Document Summary
Falsifiability: could be swapped with the word testability or refutability of a statement, hypothesis, or theory is an inherent possibility to prove it to be false. Hypothesis: a proposed explanation for a phenomenon to be a scientific hypothesis it must be testable groundwork for an experiment come from past experience, knowledge and observations. Mean: 50% are above that #, and 50% are below, measure of central tendency. Median: average by adding up all the numbers obtained and dividing by the amount of people in the experiment, measure of central tendency. Sd/standard error measure of variability: measure the deviation from the mean j (the mean, plus or minus the deviation) the more different you are the bigger the standard deviation m +/- sd. It is easy to obtain confirmations, or verifications, for nearly every theory if we look for confirmations. Every good scientific theory is a prohibition: it forbids certain things to happen.
