Question

Grace is a rock climber and is trying a new warm-up route. She timed herself the first two attempts to determine how long it will take her to warm up each time. Three months later she notices that the time is no longer accurate. Which statement explains why the model is inaccurate?

Statement #1: The model was based off of too few trials.

Statement #2: The model was not recreated in a different location.

Statement #3: The model was not repeated with different rock climbers

The statement that explains why the model is inaccurate is:

**Statement #1: The model was based off of too few trials.**

This is because relying on just two attempts may not provide enough data to create a reliable model for Grace's warm-up time. Variability in her performance or conditions can lead to inaccuracies if not enough trials are conducted to establish a consistent pattern.

While the other statements may also influence the accuracy of different models, they are less relevant to the issue of time variability for an individual climber like Grace.
