Question

A group of students is measuring the number of paper bags brought to a recycling center in a single day. What are the students doing? A. Collecting data B. Stating a hypothesis C. Drawing a conclusion D. Analyzing data

Answer 1

If a group of students are measuring the number of paper bags brought to a recycling center in a single day, they are collecting data.

Stating a hypothesis is making an educated guess as to how many bags would be brought to the recycling center each day.

Drawing a conclusion would be when all of the data has been collected and examined.

Analyzing data would be going back to look at the collected data from the research project to see if the hypothesis was correct, what determinations were made and if any discoveries were made.

Answer 2

The answer would be A.Collecting data

In this case, the students are measuring numbers of paper bags. By doing this, they'll obtain values (numbers of paper bags), which would be the quantitative data from this experiment.
