Expert consultant opinions are rooted in observational data that drive CD litigation. However, experts often only look at or test a few locations rather than 100%. This means experts are using a (sometimes small)sample to extrapolate conclusions about the overall population and the project. Looking at the math, there is nothing inherently wrong with this.... At least not in theory.
The Scientific Method is the foundation of modern technology; everyday scientists in all fields are making observations, developing hypotheses, making predictions, conducting tests, and comparing their findings to their hypotheses before finally drawing a conclusion. It is common for scientists to extrapolate their findings based on a sample, but every scientist knows that their results are only valid if the sample is truly representative of the population. Scientists are very careful about how they choose their samples, knowing a poor selection creates biased data that is impossible to extrapolate accurately.
Learning Objectives:
- Be able to apply the scientific method to building performance analysis.
- Define how to properly select inspection and testing locations.
- Understand how to extrapolate findings.
- Use real life examples to fully understand what good work looks like.
