Dr. Peterson does an experiment to research the growth rate of mice. He has two groups of mice. He feeds one group a type of food and adds chemical A, which is supposed to increase the growth rate. The other group he feeds the same food without chemical A added. His research shows that chemical A increases the growth rate by .005%. He does the experiment 4 times and comes up with different amounts each time that never went higher than the original percent.
Dr. Peterson concludes that chemical A does increase the growth rate of mice. Is Dr. Peterson's conclusion supported by scientific knowledge?
Yes; his data showed an increase in growth percentage, even though it was a small and variable amount.
No; his conclusion is not supported by evidence from his experiment because the increase is too low to be significant and the results were not consistent.
No; because his results were consistent and showed a low growth.
Yes; any increase is significant enough to be proof and the results match his hypothesis.
Smithers thinks that a special juice will increase the productivity of workers. He creates two groups of 50 workers each and assigns each group the same task (in this case, they're supposed to staple a set of papers). Group A is given the special juice to drink while they work. Group B is not given the special juice. After an hour, Smithers counts how many stacks of papers each group has made. GroupA made 1,587 stacks, Group B made 2,113 stacks
Which group is the control group?
Group A
Group B

Larry wants to test different types of fertilizer on tomato plants. He wants to see if one works better than the rest. He has 4 plants. The first one gets no fertilizer, the second one gets fertilizer A, the third Fertilizer B, and the fourth Fertilizer C.

Larry is counting the total weight of tomatoes produced by each plant to determine how well the fertilizers worked. What is the dependent variable?
the type of fertilizer
the plant with no fertilizer
the weight of tomatoes produced
same amount of soil
