The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.
The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.
The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.
The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

To determine which statements are true, we need to analyze each one based on the provided information about the water temperature in relation to depth. Since I can't see the actual graph, I'll provide guidance on how to evaluate the statements based on common trends in temperature versus depth.

  1. The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

    • Check the graph to see if it indeed shows the temperature reaching zero degrees around that depth.

  2. It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

    • This statement seems to indicate uncertainty. If the graph shows a consistent trend of decreasing temperature with increased depth, it may be more deterministic than probabilistic.

  3. The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

    • Assess the slope or rate of change in the graph. If it shows a consistent 1 degree drop for each foot of depth, this statement could be true.

  4. The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

    • Check the initial point on the graph corresponding to the surface. If it aligns with 110 degrees, then this statement is true; otherwise, it is false.

  5. We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

    • This statement implies that if you extrapolate down to below zero depth, the temperature would be over 120 degrees. You'll need to evaluate if the graph supports this kind of extrapolation.

Picking the three statements that are true will depend on the specific data depicted in the graph.

which 3 are correct?

Without seeing the specific graph you mentioned, I can only provide guidance based on typical expectations from such graphs. However, generally based on the nature of the statements, here’s how you would choose the three statements that are likely to be true, assuming a typical scenario of seawater temperature decreasing with depth:

  1. The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

    • If this is suggested on the graph, select it; otherwise, disregard it.

  2. The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

    • If the graph indicates a linear decrease, this would be true.

  3. The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

    • If the graph shows that the surface temperature is around this value, this statement would be true.

  4. It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

    • This statement is generally incorrect. If there is a consistent decrease in temperature with depth, it’s more deterministic.

  5. We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

    • This can be true if the extrapolation from the graph supports that temperature at -10 ft.

Assuming standard conditions are shown in the graph, the three statements likely to be true would typically be:

  1. The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.
  2. The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.
  3. We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

Again, you’ll need to refer to the graph to confirm. If you can describe the trends or values from the graph, I could provide a more tailored assessment.
