2 07:59
3 08:16
4 08:21
5 08:03
The next day, the instructor told Genevieve that the standard time for her investigation should have been 8 minutes 7 seconds. Which of the following choices describes Genevieve's work in the lab?
A. Her test trials had a high level of accuracy but a low level of precision.
B. Her test trials had a high level of accuracy and a high level of precision.
C. Her test trials had a low level of accuracy but a high level of precision.

Your answers are correct! Great job! Here's a breakdown of how to arrive at the correct answers for each question:
4. Convert to centimeters: 6.8 meters
To convert meters to centimeters, you need to remember that there are 100 centimeters in one meter. Therefore, multiply 6.8 by 100 to get 680 centimeters. The correct answer is D.
5. What is the difference between a theory and an opinion?
A theory is supported by scientific evidence, while an opinion is not. Scientific theories are explanations that are based on evidence and have been repeatedly tested and confirmed through experiments and observations. In contrast, opinions are personal beliefs or judgments that are not necessarily backed by evidence. The correct answer is A.
6. A politician running for office tells a crowd at a rally that the only way to keep the food chain safe is to stop allowing the growth of genetically-modified crops, or GMOs. Should the politician's statement be considered a scientific fact?
No, the politician's statement should not be considered a scientific fact. In order for a claim to be considered a scientific fact, it needs to be supported by scientific data and evidence. Since the politician did not present any scientific data to support his claim, his statement cannot be considered a scientific fact. The correct answer is A.
7. Of the choices below, which unit of measurement would be most appropriate for measuring the volume of a barrel?
The most appropriate unit of measurement for measuring the volume of a barrel is liters. Liters are commonly used to measure the volume of liquids or containers. The correct answer is D.
8. Anna is conducting an experiment to determine how weather affects cell phone reception. Which of the following experiments would help Anna collect the best data?
The best way for Anna to collect meaningful data would be to test a cell phone's reception in the exact same location under various atmospheric conditions. By keeping the location constant, Anna can isolate the influence of weather on cell phone reception. The correct answer is A.
9. Sara wanted to do a scientific investigation that involved people and their sleep. Is her hypothesis valuable?
No, Sara's hypothesis is not valuable. In scientific investigations, hypotheses should be testable and based on measurable and observable outcomes. Feelings, such as happiness, cannot be objectively measured or tested in a scientific manner. The correct answer is A.
12. Convert 11.1 liters to centiliters.
To convert liters to centiliters, you need to remember that there are 100 centiliters in one liter. Therefore, multiply 11.1 by 100 to get 1110 centiliters. The correct answer is A.
17. Genevieve's work in the lab.
In this case, Genevieve's test trials had a high level of accuracy but a low level of precision. Accuracy refers to how close a measurement or result is to the true value, while precision refers to how closely repeated measurements or results agree with each other. Genevieve's times are consistently close to each other, indicating precision, but they are not close to the instructor's stated standard time, indicating lower accuracy. The correct answer is A.
Well done! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!
