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

Both teams had spectacular fails.

Both teams had spectacular fails.

Both teams had spectacular wins.

The prototype team’s car had fewer glitches.

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 had the opportunity to identify and solve problems during the testing phase, while the second team that focused more on sketching may not have had as much practical experience or troubleshooting.
