1. QuestionMultiple choice

A graph shows temperature rising as sunlight exposure increases. What relationship is shown?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A positive association.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: Both variables increase together, indicating a positive association.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

Both variables increase together, indicating a positive association.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

A table lists oxygen production for plants under three light colors. Which comparison is most appropriate?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Compare oxygen output while keeping the plant type and time constant.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: A fair comparison changes one relevant condition while holding other conditions constant.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

A fair comparison changes one relevant condition while holding other conditions constant.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

A graph has a steep line from left to right. What does the steepness most directly represent in a relationship graph?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is A large rate of change.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: A steep slope means the output changes substantially for a given input change.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

A steep slope means the output changes substantially for a given input change.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

A data set contains one value far above the other measurements. What should a researcher do first?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Check the measurement and recording process.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: An outlier may be an error or a real result, so it should be investigated before removal.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

An outlier may be an error or a real result, so it should be investigated before removal.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

Which graph is best for showing how a population changes over several years?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is A line graph.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: A line graph displays change over an ordered time interval.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

A line graph displays change over an ordered time interval.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

A graph shows that enzyme activity increases until a temperature of 35 degrees and then decreases. What is the likely optimum temperature?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is 35 degrees.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: The maximum activity occurs at 35 degrees, so that is the optimum shown.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

The maximum activity occurs at 35 degrees, so that is the optimum shown.

7. QuestionMultiple choice

Which statement is supported by a graph in which two variables rise together but the points are widely scattered?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is The variables may have a positive but weak association.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: An upward trend with wide scatter suggests a positive but less consistent association.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

An upward trend with wide scatter suggests a positive but less consistent association.

8. QuestionMultiple choice

A bar graph compares average rainfall in four regions. What does the height of each bar represent?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is The average rainfall for that region.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: The vertical value of each bar corresponds to the measured rainfall category.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

The vertical value of each bar corresponds to the measured rainfall category.

9. QuestionMultiple choice

A study reports that two groups have similar averages but different ranges. What does the range describe?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is The distance between the smallest and largest values.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: Range is calculated by subtracting the minimum from the maximum.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

Range is calculated by subtracting the minimum from the maximum.

10. QuestionMultiple choice

Which conclusion is justified when repeated measurements cluster closely together?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is The measurements show good consistency.

  1. Identify the evidence: Determine which observation, variable, graph, or scientific principle is relevant to the question.
  2. Apply the science skill: Closely grouped repeated measurements indicate consistency, not universal proof.
  3. Check the conclusion: Make sure the answer is supported by the data or conditions provided rather than by an unsupported assumption.

Closely grouped repeated measurements indicate consistency, not universal proof.
