Question

Each student in Mrs. Wimberly’s six science classes planted a bean in a Styrofoam cup. All beans came from the same source, were planted using the same bag of soil, and were watered the same amount. Mrs. Wimberly has 24 students in each of her six classes. In first period, 21 of the 24 bean seeds sprouted. %0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0A%0D%0AWhich statement about the seeds in the remaining five classes is NOT supported by this information?

Answer 1

The statement that the seeds in the remaining five classes were not watered the same amount is not supported by the information provided. Since all beans were planted using the same bag of soil and watered the same amount, it is unlikely that the difference in sprouting rate was due to differences in watering.
