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.

b)

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.
