Data that are qualitative are always-

• described in words
• represented in numbers
• repeated for verification

• the average high daily temperature for the month of july
• the names of chemicals found in breakfast cereal
• the zip codes in which each high school student resides
• types of shoes worn by pedestrians on a city street 

How does the control group differ from an experimental group in a scientific experiment?

• the control group does not contain the experimental data, whereas the experimental group does
• the control group does not contain the experimental variable, whereas the experimental group does not
• the control group is not tested or measured
• the control group contains more than one experimental variable

The variable that is measured in the experiment is-

• the dependent variable
• the independent variable
• the control variable
• the hypothetical variable

Which of the following must be done for the results of an experiment to be considered valid?

• the experiment must be repeated numerous times and the same results are obtained
• the results must be published in a national journal
• the results must be shown in a graph
• the results must be only quantitative
