Which of these is relevant evidence to this claim: Plants in bigger pots will grow taller.

b)

Some plants grow taller than others when grown in large pots.

c)

According to the data, a plant grown in a 5 cm pot only grew to be 4 cm tall, where as a plant in a 10cm pot grow to be 8 cm tall.

d)

The researchers observed 10 plants total, 5 planted in smaller pots and 5 planted in larger pots.

5.

Which reasoning explains the following evidence? "According to the data, a plant grown in a 5 cm pot only grew to be 4 cm tall, where as a plant in a 10cm pot grow to be 8 cm tall."

a)

When plants are placed in a bigger pot, the roots have more room to spread out, making it more optimal for a plant to grow taller.

b)

Sometimes, plants just enjoy being in a bigger pot. When a plant enjoys its pot more it will grow taller

c)

No one really knows why, it just happened.

Which options provide relevant evidence to support the claim that students who get less sleep are more likely to perform poorly in academics. (Select up to two)

According to the study, students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower on their exams.

b)

The claim of an article I read in another class was that students who sleep less do poorly on tests.

c)

Students reported feeling more sluggish over all, making it hard to focus and do well on their exams.

d)

According the the study, the kids were sleepy. When I am sleepy, I also do poorly on my assignments.

7.

Which reasoning explains the following evidence? "According to the study, students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower on their exams."

a)

When a person has had less sleep they can have a harder time remembering things, focusing, and reading. All of these can result in mistakes on an exam which could explain the lower score.

b)

When a person has had less sleep they are often in a bad mood. Exams also put people in a bad mood.

c)

I got an A on my last history test after studying all night, so maybe they did the experiment with people who are bad at studying?

d)

The evidence supports the claim that people who get less sleep do poorly on exams because students who went to sleep later, causing them to get less sleep, scored an average of 30% lower.
