  2. Milgram experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment

    In Experiment 17, when two additional teachers refused to comply, only four of 40 participants continued in the experiment. In Experiment 18, the participant performed a subsidiary task (reading the questions via microphone or recording the learner's answers) with another "teacher" who complied fully.

  3. Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiment

    An experiment is a procedure carried out to support or refute a hypothesis, or determine the efficacy or likelihood of something previously untried. Experiments provide insight into cause-and-effect by demonstrating what outcome occurs when a particular factor is manipulated.

  4. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    The question of design of experiments is: which experiment is better? The variance of the estimate X 1 of θ 1 is σ 2 if we use the first experiment. But if we use the second experiment, the variance of the estimate given above is σ 2 /8. Thus the second experiment gives us 8 times as much precision for the estimate of a single item, and ...

    They then went on to answer the query with, "No. Sound is the sensation excited in the ear when the air or other medium is set in motion." [ 5 ] The magazine Scientific American corroborated the technical aspect of this question, while leaving out the philosophic side, a year later when they asked the question slightly reworded, "If a tree were ...

  6. Factorial experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factorial_experiment

    Such an experiment has 2×3=6 treatment combinations or cells. Similarly, a 2×2×3 experiment has three factors, two at 2 levels and one at 3, for a total of 12 treatment combinations. If every factor has s levels (a so-called fixed-level or symmetric design), the experiment is typically denoted by s k, where k is the number of

  7. Rutherford scattering experiments - Wikipedia

    A replica of an apparatus used by Geiger and Marsden to measure alpha particle scattering in a 1913 experiment. The Rutherford scattering experiments were a landmark series of experiments by which scientists learned that every atom has a nucleus where all of its positive charge and most of its mass is concentrated.

    The experiment asked whether a taster could tell if the milk was added before the brewed tea, when preparing a cup of tea. Ronald Fisher in 1913 In the design of experiments in statistics , the lady tasting tea is a randomized experiment devised by Ronald Fisher and reported in his book The Design of Experiments (1935).

  9. Replication (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)

    In engineering, science, and statistics, replication is the process of repeating a study or experiment under the same or similar conditions. It is a crucial step to test the original claim and confirm or reject the accuracy of results as well as for identifying and correcting the flaws in the original experiment. [1]
