Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.88 Analyze and Interpret Data skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A seedling experiment used three groups. Group 1 got 4 hours of light and 100 mL of water and grew 6 cm, 7 cm, and 6 cm. Group 2 got 8 hours of light and 100 mL of water and grew 11 cm, 12 cm, and 11 cm. Group 3 got 8 hours of light and 50 mL of water and grew 8 cm, 8 cm, and 9 cm. Which conclusion is strongest?
AOnly light mattered in this experiment.
BBoth more light and enough water helped growth in this experiment.
CLight and water had no pattern at all.
DOnly water mattered in this experiment.
Solution & Explanation:Group 2 grew taller than Group 1 when light increased but water stayed the same, showing light mattered. Group 2 also grew taller than Group 3 when water increased but light stayed the same, showing water mattered too.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A soil-moisture sensor gave readings of 30, 28, 27, and 12 over four days. A note says the sensor battery was low on Day 4. What is the best conclusion?
AThe Day 4 value may be unreliable, so it should not be used alone to claim a sudden drop in soil moisture.
BThe soil definitely dried out by 15 points overnight with no need for checking.
CBattery level never affects any sensor reading.
DAll four days should be treated as identical measurements.
Solution & Explanation:The low battery note warns that the final reading may be inaccurate. Scientists should check or repeat the measurement before drawing a strong conclusion.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
At 1 p.m., temperatures in a sunny area were 34 C, 35 C, and 36 C. Temperatures in a shaded area were 29 C, 29 C, and 29 C. What was the average temperature difference between the sunny and shaded areas?
Solution & Explanation:The sunny average is 35 C and the shaded average is 29 C. The average difference is 6 C.
