The statement that best describes Ruby gathering enough evidence to support a scientific explanation concerning plant growth rates is:
Ruby measures the heights of several species A, B, C, and D plants for a week under the same conditions and finds journal articles that describe the growth rates of each species.
Ruby has observed that plants in her garden vary in height. She wants to investigate whether a plant species (species A) grows faster than the other garden species (species B, C, and D). Select the statement that describes Ruby gathering enough evidence to support a scientific explanation concerning plant growth rates.
Note: Consider reviewing how Ruby developed her conclusion on page 8 of this lesson to select the best answer.

O 1.15
To calculate the average weight of the kittens, you need to find the sum of the weights and divide it by the number of kittens.
1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5
Divide the sum by 5 (the number of kittens):
5 / 5 = 1
The average weight of the kittens is 1 pound.
So, the correct answer is:
1.0
1.05 + 1.2 + 1.15 + 1.2 + 1.4 = 5
Divide the sum by 5 (the number of kittens):
5 / 5 = 1
The average weight of the kittens is 1 pound.
So, the correct answer is:
1.0
Which sentence most accurately describes the daily growth rate of plants?
sum of individual plant heights divided by number of days
O average change in plant height divided by number of days
O average plant height divided by total number of plants
O sum of individual plant heights divided by total number of plants
sum of individual plant heights divided by number of days
O average change in plant height divided by number of days
O average plant height divided by total number of plants
O sum of individual plant heights divided by total number of plants
The sentence that most accurately describes the daily growth rate of plants is:
Average change in plant height divided by number of days
Average change in plant height divided by number of days
