Science IOD (Interpretation of Data)
Accuracy Correct Answer: How well the results of an experiment agree with the accepted value.
Analysis Correct Answer: This is a process of interpreting experimental results.
Average Correct Answer: This is the sum of each number in a set added together and then divided by
the total number in the set.
Bar Graph Correct Answer: This is a graphical means of quantitative comparison by rectangles with
lengths proportional to the measure of the data or things compared.
Comparison Correct Answer: This is the examination of two or more substances to find similarities
and/or differences between them.
Conclusion Correct Answer: This is an answer deduced from the analysis of data.
Control Group Correct Answer: This is an experimental group, used as a baseline comparison, that
receives all the control variables, but does not receive the independent variable treatment.
Data Analysis Correct Answer: This is the process of gathering, organizing, and displaying data with the
goals of finding useful information, drawing conclusions, and helping with decision making.
Data Collection Correct Answer: This is the act of writing down the required information you get from a
laboratory experiment.
Data Set Correct Answer: This is a compilation of information, usually quantitative, that represents
measures of a variable or set of variables.
Data Table Correct Answer: This is the correct method of recording numerical information from an
experiment.
Dependent Variable Correct Answer: This is the observed variable in an experiment or study whose
changes are determined by the presence or degree of one or more independent variables. When
graphed, this variable is usually on the vertical axis.
Direct Variation Correct Answer: The relationship between two variables such that y = kx if k is a
nonzero number. Also, as one quantity increases, the second quantity increases or as one quantity
decreases, the second quantity decreases.
Discovery Correct Answer: This is to see, get knowledge of, learn of, find, or find out; gain sight or
knowledge.
Evidence Correct Answer: This is data from an experiment, which is used to verify or reject the original
hypothesis in the conclusion.
