Question

Julia designed an experiment to find out if microwaving apple seeds keeps the seeds from sprouting. 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? (1 point) Responses Table A Table A Table B Table B Table C Table C Table D

Answer 1

To determine which table would best show Julia's results, we would want a table that clearly presents the relationship between microwave time and the number of seeds that sprouted.

In this case, as microwave time increases, we expect the number of seeds that sprouted to decrease. An ideal table would have columns for microwave time (in specific increments) and the corresponding number of seeds that sprouted for each group.

Here is a simple structure for the table:

| Microwave Time (seconds) | Number of Seeds Sprouted | |--------------------------|-------------------------| | 0 (Control) | X | | 10 | Y1 | | 20 | Y2 | | 30 | Y3 |

Where X, Y1, Y2, Y3 are actual numbers showing how many seeds sprouted from each group.

Look for a table that aligns with this format and demonstrates a decline in the number of germinated seeds as the microwave time increases. Without seeing the options, I recommend you opt for the table that best represents this relationship.
