Madeline is a research assistant for her favorite biology professor, Dr. Ogechi. Dr. Ogechi is interested in studying the effects of aquarium temperature on the number of offspring produced by a certain species of fish.
Madeline knows from her economics class that to isolate the effects of a particular phenomenon, all other things must remain the same. In Latin, this is referred to as____.
a. pluribus unum.
b. dum versaste, nox fit.
c. onay oremay atinlay.
d. ceteris paribus.
In order to keep all other things the same and isolate the effects of one particular variable in the physics experiment, Madeline will want to do which of the following?
A. Hold constant the material used for the body of the car.
B. Make sure the incline is the same angle for each trial.
C. Clean up after her experiment carefully.

Answer:

D

B

Explanation:

ceteris paribus is a Latin phrase that means all other things being equal. It means that other variables are unchanged.

For example, according to the law of demand, all other things being equal, the higher the price, the lower the quantity demanded and the lower the price, the higher the quantity demanded.

For this law to hold, it is assumed that consumers tastes do not change or income do not change. If the income of a consumer changes and prices increases, the consumer would be able to buy more of a good at the higher price.

In order to isolate the effects of one particular variable in the physics experiment, she has to make sure the incline is the same angle for each trial. If the incline is different, it might affect the results of the experiment
