Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.161 Collect and Organize Data for Modeling skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A biology project asks whether sunlight exposure predicts algae growth in identical tanks. Which complete plan is best?
AAssign tanks to different light exposure levels, keep nutrients and temperature constant, record light exposure (hours per day) and algae concentration (mg/L), and graph algae versus light
BPlace the brightest tanks near extra nutrients and use a pie chart
CMeasure algae in some tanks and sunlight in different tanks
DRecord only whether the water looks green
Solution & Explanation:A controlled plan with paired light and algae measurements gives the clearest data for modeling the relationship.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A consumer group compares battery life for several tablet brands and expects outliers. Which display is most useful?
ASide-by-side box plots of battery life (hours) for each tablet brand
BScatter plot with brand name measured in hours
CPie chart of the longest battery life only
DLine graph connecting brands alphabetically
Solution & Explanation:Brand is categorical and battery life is quantitative; box plots compare spread, medians, and outliers by brand.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
A materials lab studies how temperature affects the viscosity of a liquid. Which plan best supports a model?
AControl the liquid sample, measure temperature (degrees Celsius) and viscosity (pascal-seconds) with repeated trials, then graph viscosity versus temperature
BUse different liquids at every temperature with no labels
CAsk whether the liquid looks thick
DRecord only the room number
Solution & Explanation:Controlling the sample and repeating trials gives paired temperature-viscosity data with correct units.
