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.

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

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

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

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

To determine which statements are true about the graph that relates water temperature to the depth of a scuba diver, we need to consider each statement carefully.

  1. 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.

    • True/False: This statement would depend on the specific graph and its interpretation. If the graph suggests that the temperature is consistently over 120 degrees at -10 ft, then it's true. Otherwise, it may not be accurate.
  2. The water temperature is usually about 110 degrees on the surface of the water.

    • True/False: This would again depend on the graph. If the graph indicates that at 0 ft (the surface), the temperature is about 110 degrees, then this statement would be true.
  3. It is a probabilistic interpretation to say that the water temperature drops as the scuba diver goes deeper into the water.

    • True/False: If the graph shows a clear trend that the temperature consistently decreases with depth, this statement is more deterministic rather than probabilistic, as it suggests a reliable pattern rather than a variable one.
  4. The water would hit zero degrees after diving down about 125 feet.

    • True/False: If the graph shows that the temperature reaches zero degrees at around 125 ft, then this statement is true. If not, it is false.
  5. The temperature seems to be dropping 1 degree per foot as the diver dives deeper.

    • True/False: This statement can be true if the graph indicates a linear decline in temperature at a rate of 1 degree per foot of depth.

To accurately assess which statements are true, it would require viewing the actual graph. However, based on typical interpretations:

  • The second and fifth statements could be more likely true, while the first, third, and fourth statements need further clarification based on specific details from the graph.
