Question

Use the diagram to answer the question.

Number of Chirps per Minute
Cricket 15 ° C 20 ° C 25 ° C
1 91 135 180
2 80 124 169
3 89 130 176
4 78 125 158
5 77 121 157
Average 83 127 168

Which statement indicates a reasonable conclusion based on the data from this experiment?


Decreasing the number of chirps causes the temperature to drop.

Cricket chirping increases with an increase in temperature.

Decreasing the temperature increases the number of chirps.

Temperature can be increased by increasing the number of chirps.

Answer 1

Cricket chirping increases with an increase temperature.

the higher the temperature the higher the chirping

Answer 2

Answer: Cricket chirping increases with an increase in temperature.

Explanation:

The independent variable in the experiment is the variable which can be altered, manipulated and changed so as to determine it's influence over the dependent variable, which is the outcome of the experiment.

Here in the given experiment, the number of chirps is the dependent variable which is increasing due to the increase in the temperature which is the independent variable.
