If three dice are tossed, a trial is one toss of one die and the experiment is composed of three trials.

If the response variable is expected to follow a parametric family of probability distributions, then the statistician may specify ( in the protocol for the experiment or observational study ) that the responses be transformed to stabilize the variance.

If the experiment were done in English, since Searle knows English, he would be able to take questions and give answers without any algorithms for English questions, and he would be affectively aware of what was being said and the purposes it might serve: Searle passes the Turing test of answering the questions in both languages, but he's only conscious of what he's doing when he speaks English.

::" If anyone imagines that we are stating the case too strongly, let him try an experiment with the first bright boy he meets by asking,

If there are T treatments and T – 1 orthogonal contrasts, all the information that can be captured from the experiment is obtainable from the set of contrasts.

If morning rush traffic can be heard from outside, if researchers or maintenance staff appear at the same time each day, an experiment can be ruined by masking.

Since counter-clockwise may be defined in terms of up, forward, and right, this experiment unambiguously differentiates left from right using only natural elements: If they were reversed, or the atoms spun clockwise, the radiation would follow the spin axis instead of being opposite to it.

If the aether was dragged by mass then this experiment would have been able to detect the drag caused by the lead, but again the null result was found.

If at any time the subject indicated his desire to halt the experiment, he was given a succession of verbal prods by the experimenter, in this order:

If the subject still wished to stop after all four successive verbal prods, the experiment was halted.

If, in some future experiment, one of the mass-related phenomena is shown to not be proportional to the others, then that specific phenomenon will no longer be considered a part of the abstract concept of mass.

If a random experiment can result in N mutually exclusive and equally likely outcomes and if N < sub > A </ sub > of these outcomes result in the occurrence of the event A, the probability of A is defined by

If one throws a die once, it is difficult to predict the outcome, but if we repeat this experiment many times, we will see that the number of times each result occurs divided by the number of throws will eventually stabilize towards a specific value.

If that happens, Franks said, “... the Western world, the free world, loses what it cherishes most, and that is freedom and liberty we ’ ve seen for a couple of hundred years in this grand experiment that we call democracy .” Franks then offered “ in a practical sense ” what he thinks would happen in the aftermath of such an attack.

If they are describing experiments or calculations, they must supply enough details that an independent researcher could repeat the experiment or calculation to verify the results.

In 2002, psychologist Richard Wiseman and colleagues at the University of Hertfordshire, UK, finished a year-long LaughLab experiment, concluding that of all animals, ducks attract the most humor and silliness ; he said, " If you're going to tell a joke involving an animal, make it a duck.

If outcomes of different runs of an experiment differ in any way that matters, they are distinct outcomes.

If Randall ’ s claim that the host may chase off possible dangers to the cleaner will be proved right, an experiment might be constructed in which reciprocity could be demonstrated.

If we modify this experiment so that one slit is closed, no interference pattern is observed.

If an experiment is carefully conducted, the results usually either support or disprove the hypothesis.

If the experiment is repeated with other colors, the color which has a majority will still rarely win.

If the experiment is repeated using approval voting, where voters are encouraged to vote for as many candidates as they approve of, then the winner is much more likely to be any one of the five marbles, because people who prefer green will be able to vote for every one of the green marbles.

If the subjects in the experiment are suspicious of the researcher, they are unlikely to behave as they normally would, and the researcher ’ s control of the experiment is then compromised ( p. 807 ).

In a 1975 retrospective article, Gold commented that his policy with If was to experiment, using new writers that had not yet established themselves.

If the circumstances are faced frankly it is not reasonable to expect this to be true.

If his dancers are sometimes made to look as if they might be creatures from Mars, this is consistent with his intention of placing them in the orbit of another world, a world in which they are freed of their pedestrian identities.

If a work is divided into several large segments, a last-minute drawing of random numbers may determine the order of the segments for any particular performance.

If they avoid the use of the pungent, outlawed four-letter word it is because it is taboo ; ;

If Wilhelm Reich is the Moses who has led them out of the Egypt of sexual slavery, Dylan Thomas is the poet who offers them the Dionysian dialectic of justification for their indulgence in liquor, marijuana, sex, and jazz.

If he is the child of nothingness, if he is the predestined victim of an age of atomic wars, then he will consult only his own organic needs and go beyond good and evil.

If it is an honest feeling, then why should she not yield to it??

If he thus achieves a lyrical, dreamlike, drugged intensity, he pays the price for his indulgence by producing work -- Allen Ginsberg's `` Howl '' is a striking example of this tendency -- that is disoriented, Dionysian but without depth and without Apollonian control.

If love reflects the nature of man, as Ortega Y Gasset believes, if the person in love betrays decisively what he is by his behavior in love, then the writers of the beat generation are creating a new literary genre.

If he is good, he may not be legal ; ;

If the man on the sidewalk is surprised at this question, it has served as an exclamation.

If the existent form is to be retained new factors that reinforce it must be introduced into the situation.

If we remove ourselves for a moment from our time and our infatuation with mental disease, isn't there something absurd about a hero in a novel who is defeated by his infantile neurosis??

If many of the characters in contemporary novels appear to be the bloodless relations of characters in a case history it is because the novelist is often forgetful today that those things that we call character manifest themselves in surface behavior, that the ego is still the executive agency of personality, and that all we know of personality must be discerned through the ego.

If he is a traditionalist, he is an eclectic traditionalist.

If our sincerity is granted, and it is granted, the discrepancy can only be explained by the fact that we have come to believe hearsay and legend about ourselves in preference to an understanding gained by earnest self-examination.

If to be innocent is to be helpless, then I had been -- as are we all -- helpless at the start.
