Opposition to irrational numbers was based on evidence
that such numbers cannot exist. - ANSWER-False - (No
direct evidence for or against irrational numbers was used
to oppose the idea. A religious belief based on faith was
used instead.)
Opposition to irrational numbers stemmed from a
worldview involving naturalistic evolution. - ANSWER-
False - (A creationist worldview was the reason for
opposing irrational numbers.)
The belief that irrational numbers cannot exist reflects
religion more than science. - ANSWER-True - (The notion
that God(s) created a perfect world is the product of a
religion)
Modern mathematicians accept irrational numbers
because such numbers provide more accurate solutions to
problems than whole numbers do. - ANSWER-True -
(irrational numbers are used because they enhance

calculations of measurable properties, such as the area of
a circle).

Biologists used induction to hypothesize that snakes use
pits to see heat. - ANSWER-True
Biologists used induction to predict the percentage of
times that a snakes with sealed pits would choose the cool
box. - ANSWER-False

replicated 20 times. - ANSWER-False
, 4|Page
The experiment would be flawed if snakes were not
randomly assigned to each treatment. - ANSWER-True
The group of snakes whose pits were left unsealed served
as a control in this experiment. - ANSWER-True
Use this information to answer the questions below.
More than a decade after Darwin returned from his voyage
on the HMS Beagle, an explorer named Alfred Wallace
voyaged to the Malay Islands. Wallace was struck by the
biodiversity of the islands. In particular, he noticed animals
with structures designed to attack plants, and plants with
structures designed to protect them from animals. Wallace
reasoned that differences among individuals provided
advantages that gradually led to evolution. He immediately
sent a manuscript describing his idea to Charles Lyell, who
then shared the manuscript with Darwin. Wallace's model
of evolution by natural selection was published a paper
that appeared in the same issue as Darwin's paper.
Unlike Wallace, Darwin did not believe that natural
selection required variation among individuals. -
ANSWER-False
