Question

Hypothesis: If a higher percentage of people are immune to a disease, then the disease will spread more slowly, because fewer people will be able to contract it or pass it on. Did the data in this experiment support the lab’s hypothesis? Explain why, citing data from the trials.

Answer 1

Did the data in this experiment support the lab’s hypothesis?

✔ yes

Explain why, citing data from the trials.

After six points of contact, fewer people were infected in Trial C than in Trial A. On average, the slope of the graph for Trial C was less than than the slope for Trial A. Infection spread at a slower rate in Trial C than in Trial A. In addition to the ten immune people, three nonimmune people did not become infected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Did the data in this experiment support the lab’s hypothesis?

~YES

Explain why, citing data from the trials.

~After six points of contact, fewer people were infected in Trial C than in Trial A. On average, the slope of the graph for Trial C was less than than the slope for Trial A. Infection spread at a slower rate in Trial C than in Trial A. In addition to the ten immune people, three nonimmune people did not become infected.

Which comparisons of Trial A (no immunity) and Trial C (50% immunity) did you include in your explanation? Check all that apply.

~On average, the slope of the graph for Trial C was less than than the slope for Trial A.

~Infection spread at a slower rate in Trial C than in Trial A.
