2. First, what was Tycho looking for to test the Ptolemaic and Copernican views of the universe? Why did he fail to confirm the Copernican view? Next, using the parallax method for a star (p = 0.76) and the standard candle method (apparent magnitude = 0.0; absolute magnitude = 4.4) to compute the distance to the same star, both produce a result of about ?? light years. From a scientific and an inductive reasoning point of view, why is getting about the same answer viewed as extremely significant from the standpoints of inductive reasoning and probable truth? Show the math, state the distance estimate, and answer the significance question. What is the key concept being applied for making inductive arguments stronger and more probable? Explain. First sentence should be, "Tycho was looking for ?? for any star to confirm or disconfirm the Copernican view of planetary motion. He failed because. . . "

Parallax method (equation, plug in the number, show calculation, and result)

Standard candle method (equation, plug in the numbers, show calculation, and result) Use the x² function.

Significance (What concept of making inductive reasoning stronger applies?) Explain.
