I got these results from my dissolved oxygen lab:
Temperature Dissolved Oxygen
in Celcius (mg/L)
17 5.8
21 5.4
23 5.3
27 5.1
I understand that as the temperature increases the dissolved oxygen concentration decreases but i don't understand how to answer this question: does your data indicate how the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water is affected by the temperature of the water. explain.

well did the dissolved oxygen levels go down with the rise in temperature or did they go up or did they stay the same in your experiment
To follow up on venessa's answer, of course the data indicate that what you understand is true. Doesn't the dissolved oxygen decrease (in mg/L) when the temperature goes up? Looks that way to me. By the way, note the correct spelling of celsius.
