The graph below shows changes in the earth's average surface temperature since 1880. If the earth's average surface temperature continues to change over the next 30 years at the same rate it changed between 1980 and 2010, the average temperature will most likely be around - ANSWER0.6°C higher than in 2010 To critique scientific arguments and increase the validity of scientific evidence, scientists - ANSWERreview the experiments and conclusions of other scientists. Which part of a scientific argument must be supported by valid data? - ANSWERclaim A scientific argument will be considered invalid if the evidence supporting that argument is based on - ANSWERinconsistent data. Doctors report incidences of illness, such as influenza, to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The graph below shows data for three years. Note that this graph shows from October of one year to October of the following year. The leftmost data on the graph begins with week 40 (October) and shows data through the end of the year. The tick mark for week 1 (beginning of January) is roughly in the middle of the x axis. One journal said that influenza trends in 2008-09 were unusual. Based on the evidence in the graph, what range of data did the journal most likely use to support the claim? - ANSWERweek 16 through week 24 Some kinds of data can be summarized in an illustration like the one below. Assume that the plants that are shown in the illustration are accurately drawn to scale. Which statement best summarizes a trend that is shown in the illustration? - ANSWERNOT As elevation decreases, plant height decreases. Penny measured the time that it took her rat to run through a maze. She conducted the experiment 10 times and recorded the set of data below. Times: 67 s, 69 s, 68 s, 66 s, 78 s, 70 s, 67 s, 69 s, 68 s, 66 s Which time is most likely an outlier? - ANSWER78 s The scientific evidence that scientists use in supporting or critiquing the conclusions of experiments usually consists of - ANSWERsummarized data. Which is an example of scientific evidence that can be used to critique a new scientific argument? - ANSWERdata that have been analyzed to remove an outlier
