Maria and her brother like to go fishing at the lake on Saturdays. They wondered if fish were more likely to bite at one time of day than another. They decided to try an experiment the next two Saturdays.
On the first Saturday, it was hot and sunny, and they went fishing in the morning. Maria and her brother caught a total of five fish. On the second Saturday, it was overcast and cool, and they went fishing in the afternoon. They only caught a total of three fish this time. Can they conclude that fish bite better in the morning?
Yes. They caught more fish in the morning, so morning is a better time to fish.
Yes. It is more likely to be sunny in the morning, and fish bite better when it is sunny.
No. They will need to repeat their experiment several times, since the weather conditions and times were different both days.
No. They only did their experiment on Saturdays, so they don't know if they would get the same results on other days.
Juana decided to find out if it was worth spending the money to buy bags of potting soil sold at the store. She bought one bag of potting soil and some bean seeds. At home she put potting soil in ten pots and soil she dug up from the yard in ten other pots. She planted one bean seed in each pot. After one week, all twenty seeds had sprouted and all the seedlings had two leaves. She concluded that her soil was just as good as potting soil.
What would be the best thing for Juana to do next?
Repeat the experiment to see if she gets the same results.
Mix the potting soil with her soil and see how seeds grow in it.
Start watering some of the plants in each group twice as much.
Let the plants grow in different soil types to see if they remain healthy.
