Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.132 Plan Data Collection for Prototypes skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A prototype reusable cup lid prevents spills but may be hard for younger students to open. Which data plan best evaluates whether it meets both criteria?

ARecord the lid color and ask if it looks fun.

BMeasure spill volume after a standard tip test and opening force with a force gauge for repeated trials.

CMeasure only the cup height and ignore spills.

DTest spills on one lid and opening force on a different lid design only once.

Solution & Explanation:The plan collects quantitative data for both spill prevention and ease of opening under repeatable conditions.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team testing an acoustic panel finds that sound level varies with microphone position. Which plan best improves the data collection design?

AMark fixed microphone positions and measure decibels at each position for every panel.

BHold the microphone wherever a student can hear best.

CMeasure one panel close up and another across the room.

DStop measuring sound and record only panel thickness.

Solution & Explanation:Fixed microphone positions control a variable that affects sound readings, making panel comparisons more reliable.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

A 40-second crash-sled test records acceleration every 0.5 second, including a reading at 0 seconds and at 40 seconds. How many acceleration readings are collected?

Solution & Explanation:The number of intervals is 40 divided by 0.5, which is 80. Including the starting reading gives 81 readings.
