The United States alone, McKinsey projects, will need 140,000 to 190,000 more people with “deep analytical” skills, typically experts in statistical methods and data-analysis technologies. McKinsey says the nation will also need 1.5 million more data-literate managers, whether retrained or hired.”

- 71. What is ahypothesis?
- 72. The term “hypothesis”describes an untested theory.
- 73. The researcher anticipatesa relationship between a theory and the real world.
- 74. To be anacceptable hypothesis, the theory must be testable; the researcher must be able to make observations through testing to { falsify, fail to falsify} the hypothesis.
- 75. A failure tofalsify is not equivalent to proving your hypothesis is true
- 77. Explain the differencebetween hypothesis and research design?
- 78. Answer: While hypothesisfurnishes the theory for the study, research design determines the study’s structure and its process to test the hypothesis.
- 79. Research design forcesthe researcher to think about and prevent possible problems before they occur.
- 80. I. The researchdesign specifies the method used to gather data to test the hypothesis. II. Research design specifies where and when the data is collected. III. How will the data be standardized? IV. The data is tested in multiple ways for greater information. V. What standards will the researcher use to accept or reject the hypothesis?
- 82. Every study makesassumptions. Name some.
- 84. Why must thelawyer be aware of the study’s assumptions?
- 85. Assume a studyuses historic records to compare its college students’ SAT scores. The study claims the data establishes that its students who have higher SAT scores gravitate toward one area of study vs another area of study.
- 86. The use ofSAT scores inherently includes an unstated assumption that SAT scores accurately report the intelligence capacities of the students.
- 87. Also, using thesehistoric documents assumes equal testing procedures and assumes accurate recording in the historic document of those SAT testing results.
- 89. REMEMBER: In a sense,a lawyer and a scientist are not that different. A good place to challenge the researcher’s study start with the assumptions. The study’s validity will fall if the assumptions lack validity. This can be a source for a legal (and a scientific) challenge.
