developing a theory‚ theorists must construct their theory so that it can be judged by this certain criteria. This criteria is made out of: 1.) empirical validity‚ 2.) its logical consistency‚ 3.) scope‚ and parsimony‚ 4.) testability as well as 5.) The usefulness and 6.) the policy implications (Akers and Sellers‚ 5). It is important for a theory to possess empirical validity because without it‚ theorist would be unable to determine whether said theory could be accepted or dissolved with the evidence that

Pre-Lab Discussion An empirical formula is a formula for a chemical compound found by direct laboratory examination. Laboratory procedures allow the chemist to find the simplest whole number ratio of elements within the compound. In order to find the true molecular formula‚ the chemist also needs to know the compound’s molecular mass. The general procedure is to use laboratory techniques to determine the mass of each element in the compound. In this lab‚ we will react a known quantity of magnesium

Theoretical vs. Empirical Probability Probability- describes the chance that an uncertain event will occur. Empirical Probability - estimate that the event will happen based on how often the event occurs after collecting the data or running an experiment. It is based specifically on direct observation or experiences. Empirical Probability Formula P(E) = probability that an event‚ E‚ will occur. Top = number of ways the specific event occurs. Bottom = number of ways the experiment
