Ms. Harris sponsors a lunchtime club called Engineering Lab. At the club meetings, students are invited

Question

to experiment with their designs. In their first meeting, one team built and tested a prototype of a toy car
while a second team used their time to do more sketching. When both cars were finished and tested a
month later, what was the MOST likely outcome for each team?

(1 point)

Both teams had spectacular fails.

Both teams had spectacular wins.

The prototype team's car had fewer glitches.

The non-protype team's car had fewer glitches.

Answer 1

The most likely outcome for each team is:

The prototype team's car had fewer glitches.

This is because the team that built and tested a prototype would have had the opportunity to identify and fix any issues during the testing phase, leading to a more refined final product. In contrast, the second team that focused on sketching may have missed out on practical insights gained through actual testing and iteration, which can often reveal unforeseen problems or design flaws.
