Question
A biology class hypothesizes that bats are most active during twilight hours (the period of dim light surrounding sunrise and sunset). The class counts how many bats they observe flying in a grove of trees during a 24-hour period. Based upon their graphed data, how should they evaluate their hypothesis?
A graph is labeled, bat activity over a 24-hour period. The X axis is labeled, time in hours. The Y axis is labeled, number of bats. The graph starts at 10 on the Y axis, increases to 15 around 4 hours, then drops to 0 between 6 and 16 hours, increases gradually to 18 hours, and then increases significantly between 19 and 21 hours to almost 40 bats. There is a drop-off from 22 to 24 hours back toward 10 bats.
The hypothesis is partially supported.
The hypothesis is supported.
The hypothesis is proved correct.
The hypothesis is falsified.

The hypothesis is supported. The graph shows that bats are most active during the twilight hours, with a significant increase in activity between 19 and 21 hours. This aligns with the hypothesis that bats are most active during twilight hours.
