Question

Students in a science class tested different plant seeds to determine how long it took each type of seed to fall from the second- story window of the school. They tested 100 seeds of each type in order to find out which type of seed had the the parent plant. The data they collected is shown in the chart below. which of these graphs best represents the students data?
walnut/0.6
maple/4.5
redoak/0.6
ash/2.0
pine/2.4


​

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

Explanation

According to the information provided, a bar graph (option C) is needed since this type of graph allows us to express the variation in time, distance, temperature, quantities, weight, among others. In this specific case, a bar graph allows students to analyze the time that each type of seed takes to fall from the second floor. Additionally, this is the only graph that shows the data of the chart. For example, the first bar represents the black walnut and its time is 0,6 seconds, and this value is shown by the light blue bar in the graph, which represent the same seed. According to the above, the correct answer is C.
