A law professor wanted to determine if the amount of time students spend studying and preparing for exams has a noticeable effect on the scores earned. At the beginning of the exam, she asked students to write down how many days they spent in preparation. After scoring the exams, she compiled the data in the table below. Graph the results, and make a conclusion from the data collected. Hypothesis: TABLE 3 LAW SCHOOL CANDIDATES' PREP TIMES AND TEST SCORES Candidate Days Studied Score Earned 1 7 23 2 9 25 3 5 14 4 1 5 5 8 22 6 4 15 7 3 11 8 6 17 Independent variable: Dependent variable: Conclusion:
Experimental data
Below are three different experiments with data in table form.
- Read the paragraph describing each data set, and state a hypothesis before looking at the actual
- Look at the data and determine the independent and dependent
- Graph each set of data using the appropriate type of graph (bar graph, line graph, scatter graph, pie chart) following the information from the Graphing Guidelines and Graphing Rules
- Be sure to specify units on both axes
- Calculate appropriate divisions to maximize the use of the entire graph
- Give your graph an appropriate title
- Four pages of graph paper are included in this Graph each set of data on a separate graph so you can maximize your graph size (one extra graph paper is included in case you make a mistake)
- After graphing the data, state the conclusion you determined from each
