_____ 1. What should SpongeBob and Patrick do next to analyze their data?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Repeat their experiment three more times and write a conclusion.
Nothing. They should write a conclusion.
Find the average size bubble for each brand and make a bar graph.
Convert the diameters they measured into inches.
_____ 2. Which of the following statements is the best conclusion of SpongeBob and Patrick’s experiment?
a.
b.
c.
d.
The differences in bubble size are too small to be significant. More testing is needed.
Dubble Bubble appears to blow better bubbles, but more testing is needed.
Dubble Bubble definitely blows bubbles that are more consistent in size.
Hubba Bubba appears to blow better bubbles, but more testing is needed.
_____ 3. Marge wants to figure out how to make the best brownies. She follows the recipe for one batch. For
the second batch she doubles the sugar and cocoa powder. After gobbling down both trays of brownies and
enjoying the second batch more, Homer concludes that the more sugar the better the brownies. Which of the
following statements offers a possible alternative explanation for why Homer liked the second batch better?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Homer was not blindfolded and knew that the second batch had more sugar. Maybe he liked the
second batch better because he liked the idea of more sugar.
Sugar was not the only difference between the brownies. Maybe Homer liked the second batch better
because of the doubled cocoa powder
Neither a nor b offer a possible alternative explanation for why Homer liked the second batch better.
Both a and b offer a possible alternative explanation for why Homer liked the second batch better.
Use this bar graph to answer questions 4 and 5.
_____ 4. The bar graph above shows distances flown by paper airplanes with (striped) and without (dotted)
winglets. Lisa made and threw the plane with winglets. Bart made and threw the plane without
winglets. Bart concludes that planes without winglets are lousy. Which of the following statements
best describes Bart’s reasoning?
a.
b.
c.
d.
Bart’s conclusion is unreliable. The experiment includes too many variables and needs more trials.
Bart’s conclusion is correct, but more throws are necessary to prove it.
Bart’s conclusion is correct. Paper airplanes with winglets always fly farther.
Bart’s conclusion is unreliable because he didn’t like paper airplanes without winglets to begin with.

winglets flew farther?
