potato, vegetable - whether the potato is cooked - what the solute of the solution is Possible Outcome Variable: - change in length of potato core - percentage change in length of potato core - volume of solution left - change in weight - percentage change in weight My chosen outcome variable will be the percentage change in the length of the potato core. I have chosen this because this outcome variable will give us a clear set of results which will enable us to draw a clear
Affirmative Action Helps Qualified Minorities Affirmative action doesn't require a company to hire the local percentage of women and minorities, qualified or not. The program determines the percentage of qualified women and minorities available to a company, then sets flexible goals, to be reached in good faith. As a result, numerous studies show that minorities who land their jobs through affirmative action are not less qualified than their colleagues. Critics of affirmative action often
3.8 to 3.59. This is explained by the higher increase in the average inventory (37%) than the increase in cost of sales (29%) during 2005. This means that the rate at which inventory is sold is dropping • The vertical analysis shows that the percentage of total current assets to total assets increased from 50% to 52%. This means that IQ has not made major investments in the business during 2005. Woqod The analysis shows the following findings in terms of Woqod’s liquidity: • The horizontal
that I obtained were percentage increase or decrease in the length of the potato. I used the following instruments to collect my results: Cork Borer (size 5), Measuring cylinder x2, Test Tube rack, Three test tubes, Vernier Calipers, Scalpel, White Tile, Brush. No attempt at great accuracy was made. The experiment was only an indication of what length of potato chip `I should use. I decided to use the three cm lengths of potato chip because it gave a bigger percentage change therefore I
as the water, of higher concentration inside the potato cells, flows down a concentration gradient into the solution, which has a lower concentration of water molecules. If we say that the percentage change when the potato is placed in the 1M solution is x%. I predict that when the solution is 0.5M the percentage change will be 0.5x%, and when the solution is 0.25M strength I hypothesise the change will be 0.25x%. Variables Description: Dependant Variables The dependant variable is plotted on the y-axis
(point A), the more energy is converted to kinetic energy while the ball is dropping and then to elastic potential energy (E.P.E) while it is static on the floor (point B). At this point the ball looses a percentage of its energy to sound and heating the floor. I know that it is a percentage of its energy that it looses rather than a fixed amount because I know that the more energy the ball has the louder the
certainly a poverty-level lack of income won't help in child rearing. Education is another important factor to consider. The United States Department of Education reported the national average percentage of high school seniors who graduated during the 1992-1993 school year was 71.1%. Maine's percentage was 74.3, while California posted 67.9% (1). I believe this is due to a much smaller population, which, in turn, produces smaller schools. Student-to-teacher ratios tend to be much smaller. I graduated
usually negative. There is an alternative scenario where demand will increase as price does so too. This happens only in the case of Giffen goods, where elasticity is positive. The formula for price elasticity of demand is: Percentage Change in Quantity Demanded Percentage Change in Price One determinant of price elasticity is the number and closeness of substitutes there are available for a good. The closer the goods are, the greater will be the price elasticity of demand of that good. The reason
Preparing Benzoic Acid from Benzylalcohol Planning (a) Problem The aim of this experiment is to synthesize benzioc acid, with the highest possible yield, by oxidizing benzylalcohol. Hypothesis We expect the percentage yield to be about 50% due to several processes such as cooling and filtering. Possible Variables - Time - Temperature (of water) - Filter Planning (b) Apparatus/ Materials - Round bottomed flask under reflux - benzylalcohol - HCl - Na2O4
calculate the percentage change in mass so that I can compare the different results with each other. I will calculate the percentage change by : Change x 100 Original · Controlled Variables The main control variables for this experiment are : Each of the 5 buffer solutions should have the same volume of 50ml and the same concentration. If one beaker had more than another then there would be more solution to act on the meat therefore tenderising it more. This could alter the end percentage change in
Bulimic Behaviors Among wrestlers The sport of wrestling places demands for- a slim, lean body build. Wrestlers are known for their extreme weight cutting practices in order to obtain this lean build. By "cutting" to a lower weight class, the wrestler is believed to gain an advantage against a smaller opponent. Used by wrestlers preparing to weigh in for competition, weight-cutting practices typically include fluid restriction (dehydration), caloric restriction, fasting, and increased exercise
not have a problem with this; lets just keep it in perspective. Finally, manufacturers cannot just claim something is "Made in the USA." The Federal Trade Commission has specific criteria for what percentage of the parts must be made and sourced in the USA. There have been years where a larger percentage of a Honda Goldwing was USA made and sourced than a Harley Davidson. Everyone wants to think their motorcycle is "the best." I have owned several different brands of motorcycles. I would not
hardworking American who brings home a paycheck. Even worse, many of these Americans do not even realize the "double tax," and sometimes even "triple tax," that is imposed on them. Currently, large corporations are required to be taxed a certain percentage of all of their profits. This includes the money from which dividends are derived. When stock holders obtain the dividends from these corporations, the government counts this as individual income and is taxed once again. Six percent of the population
impure citric acid required to neutralise a known volume of 1.0 M sodium hydroxide. Consequently, by calculating the correct volume of pure citric acid that would be required to neutralise this volume of sodium hydroxide, I can calculate the percentage purity of the citric acid. Calculating the Amount of Citric Acid ------------------------------------- In order to make this experiment a good titration, I must use a reasonable amount of citric acid. This is so that the amount of citric
cafeteria serves about one hundred and fifty residents of Cambridge Hall and approximately one hundred residents from Nottingham Hall. The cafeteria serves hot foods, salads, snacks, sandwiches, and beverages. The data has given me information on the percentage of customers that preferred a hot meal (interactive and precooked) to snacks, the ratio of customers that prefer precooked hot meals over an interactive hot meal, line formation, service times at the different stations, arrival times and the location
childbearing. This decision is mostly picked by the older group of women in this statistic. Another alarming fact is that a percentage of women are been pressured into abortion. Either by peers or by them realizing that they could no longer do the things they did before they became pregnant and that is when they encounter a struggle with their values. Since there is also a considerate percentage of teenage girls having abortions they are at high risk for developing serious emotional and psychological problems
distress, shame, guilt, self-loathing and social isolation, and many will go to any lengths to hide their “shameful” secret from the family and friends. Typical Sufferers The anorexic or bulimic may be either sex, but the smaller percentage is in males. However the male percentage is on the increase. Most sufferers come from middle and upper income families, and are usually highly intelligent. Anorexic and bulimic people are often perfectionists, with unrealistically high expectations. They frequently
the percentage of change of the quantity demanded is greater then the percentage change in price, the demand is known to be price elastic. On the other hand, if the percentage change in demand is less than then the percentage change in price; Like that of demand, supply works in a similar way. When the percentage change of quantity supplied is greater than the percentage change in price, supply is know to be elastic. When the percentage change of quantity supplied is less then the percentage change
react with hydrochloric acid. This will tell me if the concentration of hydrochloric acid affects the speed of reaction. Variables ========= I could change: the temperature, the percentage of hydrochloric acid, the number of marble chips, or the size of the marble chips. I will change the percentage of hydrochloric acid there is for the marble chips to react with. I will keep the temperature, the number of marble chips, and the size of the marble chips the same. I will do all of
