A student is studying which brand of battery works the longest in a remote. What is the independent variable?
the brand of battery is the independent variable (what I changed)

100
The type of graph used for percents.
a pie graph
100
The amount of space something takes up.
volume
200
What is the volume of the rock if you fill the graduated cylinder to 20 mL and then place the rock into the water and the water rises to 26 mL. (DON'T FORGET UNITS)
6 mL (remember to subtract the original water from the new water level)
200
What is an observation that deals with numbers.
a quantitative observation (qualitative deals with non-numbers)
200
What is the mean of the following data?
2, 4, 3, 8, 3
4 (add up all the numbers and divide by 5 because you have a total of 5 numbers)
200
Type of graph used when dealing with time.
a line graph
200
The variable that changes in response to the independent variable (the one we measure).
the dependent variable.
300
5km = ? m
5000 m
300
What is it called when you explain or interpret the things you observe
Making an inference
300
Find the median of the following numbers.
2, 4, 3, 8, 3
What is 3 (line up the numbers from least to greatest and find the middle number)
300
Type of graph used when comparing things.
a bar graph
300
What is an educated guess in an If...then... statement.
a hypothesis.
400
Find the density of the object with a mass of 20 g and a volume of 4mL. (DON'T FORGET UNITS)
5 g/mL (remember mass/vol)
400
A good conclusion must include these 4 things:
What is 1. Restate the question. 2. Was your hypothesis supported? 3. What did I learn? 4. What would I do differently next time. (also don't forget introductory and concluding sentences)
400
Find the mode of the following numbers.
2, 4, 3, 8, 3
3 (the number that appears the most)
400
A line graph in which the data points form a straight line...
a linear graph.
400
The amount of matter.
mass
500
What is used to measure the distance.
a meter stick or ruler
500
How would you find the density of a bead?
You would find the mass using a triple beam balance. Then you would find the volume (using the displacement method). Finally, divide the mass and the volume to get the density.
500
Find the range of the following numbers:
2, 4, 3, 8, 3
6 (take the largest number and subtract the smallest number 8-2)
500
You need to include these when graphing (TAILS).
