Based on the data collected, what conclusion will Mia and Dillon most likely make? Options: Mia’s hypothesis is correct, because the 0° was hotter after the 30 minutes experiment. Both hypotheses are correct, because they both increase in temperature over the 30 minute experiment. Dillon’s hypothesis is correct, because from the 5 to 10 minute mark the 15° data increased at a higher rate than the 0°. Both hypotheses are incorrect, because there is not a steady rate of change in the temperatures over the 30 minute experiment.
