Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 9.7 Data Tables, Graphs, and Trend Recognition skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Use the table titled "Three Evidence Sources" to answer the question. Which conclusion best combines the evidence?

AOnly one source changes, so the trend is unsupported.

BThe table proves every location warmed by the same exact amount.

CAll three sources show warming over the period, which strengthens confidence in the trend.

DThe sources move in opposite directions, so no pattern exists.

Solution & Explanation:Surface station, satellite, and ocean heat indicators all rise from the first to last row. Agreement across independent sources strengthens the evidence for the overall trend.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

A team collected 60 paired measurements of applied force and acceleration from the same cart. They want to evaluate whether the relationship is linear and identify outliers. Which display is most appropriate?

AA pie chart of force categories without acceleration values.

BA scatter plot with a trend line and the individual data points visible.

CA paragraph listing only the first trial.

DA decorative icon of a cart without axes.

Solution & Explanation:A scatter plot preserves each paired measurement, makes outliers visible, and allows a trend line to show whether a linear relationship is reasonable.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the line graph titled "Local Nonlinear Trend" to answer the question. Which interpolation at x = 6 is most reasonable?

AAbout 40 units.

BAbout 60 units.

CAbout 18 units.

DAbout 6 units.

Solution & Explanation:The point x = 6 lies between x = 4 with 10 units and x = 8 with 26 units. A local interpolation near the middle is about 18 units.
