To analyze the data chart effectively, I would need to see the actual numbers or observations from the experiment regarding the number of fish caught at different tide levels. However, since I don't have access to the chart, I can guide you on how to choose the best conclusion.

To reach a conclusion, you should consider the following:

  1. Data Comparison: Look at the number of fish caught during low tide versus high tide. If low tide consistently shows higher numbers across several data points, it would suggest that fishing is more successful during low tide.

  2. Statistical Significance: If the data variations are substantial, it may indicate a strong correlation between tides and fish catch. Conversely, if the numbers are similar for both tides, it would indicate no significant effect.

  3. Multiple Observations: If you have data collected over several experiments or instances, it bolsters your conclusion if consistently observed trends persist.

Based on these considerations, select one of the provided responses that aligns with your data findings.

  • If more fish are caught at low tide: "More fish were caught at low tide."
  • If data shows that high tide captures are significantly higher: "More fish were caught at high tide."
  • If the numbers are similar, leading to no clear effect: "Tides did not affect the number of fish caught."
  • If the data seems limited or insufficient to make a conclusion, opt for: "There is not enough data to determine."

Review the actual data and make your selection accordingly!
