A farmer wants to determine if a new fertilizer gives her a better crop yield than her old fertilizer. She spreads the old fertilizer in field A, which has a brand new irrigation system. She spreads the new fertilizer in field B, which has an irrigation system that will be repaired next season. At the end of the growing season, field A has a better yield.The farmer determines that her old fertilizer is the better fertilizer. This is an example of which of the following?
A. Cultural bias
B. Personal bias
C. Data presentation error
D. Experimental bias
I think it is D, Experimental bias
I agree.
does someone have all the answers that’s 100%
1. D
2. A
3. A
4. D
5. D
6. B
7. C
8. D
9. C
10. D
btw i saw this while looking for the first question and im testing them all out to see if theyre correct and rn most of them have been 100% accurate...
The correct answer in this case would be D. Experimental bias.
Experimental bias refers to any factor that affects the results of an experiment other than the independent variable that is being studied. In this scenario, the experimental bias could arise from the fact that field A had a brand new irrigation system while field B's irrigation system was in need of repair. This difference in irrigation systems could have potentially influenced the crop yield, making it difficult to accurately compare the two fertilizers.
To determine if the new fertilizer gives a better crop yield, it would be important to control all other variables, such as ensuring that both fields have the same types of irrigation systems. This would allow for a fair comparison between the two fertilizers and help eliminate any potential experimental bias.
