The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

Based on the statements provided, here are analyses of each to determine which are true:

  1. The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

    • This statement could be true if the graph indicates a consistent linear decrease in temperature with depth.
  2. The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

    • This statement can only be considered true if the graph shows a trend that leads to 0 degrees at that depth.
  3. It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

    • This statement is likely false. If the graph shows a clear, consistent drop, this outcome could be seen as deterministic rather than probabilistic.
  4. The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

    • This is highly unlikely to be true, as normal surface water temperatures are typically not that high. Unless specifically noted by the graph or other context, consider this false.
  5. We can use a deterministic interpretation to say that the water temperature would be over 120 degrees if the scuba diver was -10 ft out of the water.

    • This could be a true statement if the graph and the relationship established show a consistent increase above 120 degrees at that depth (negative depth).

So to summarize, the validity of each statement depends on the specific data presented in the graph. You would need to refer to the graph to accurately check the truth of each statement.
