ulia designed an experiment to find out if microwaving apple seeds keeps the seeds from sprouting.

Question

First, Julia separated 24 apple seeds into four groups. Next, she set aside the first group to use as a control. Then, she microwaved the second, third, and fourth groups for different amounts of time.

If Julia's experiment showed that fewer seeds sprouted as microwave time increased, which table would best show her results?

Answer 1

To determine which table best shows Julia's results based on her experiment, you would look for a table that presents the relationship between the microwave time and the number of seeds that sprouted.

In a correctly formatted table for this experiment:

• The first column should represent the amount of time the seeds were microwaved (e.g., 0 seconds for the control group, followed by increasing time for the other groups).
• The second column should show the number of seeds that sprouted after microwaving.

Given Julia's findings (fewer sprouts with increased microwave time), the ideal table would depict a decrease in the number of germinated seeds as the microwave time increases.

Without seeing the specific tables available to you, look for one that:

• Has a clear control group (0 seconds).
• Displays a trend of decreasing sprout numbers with increasing microwave time.

If you provide more details about the tables, I could help you identify the best one!
