Question

an institution with researching (blurry) to make a scientific report (blurry). the (blurry) placed into various temperatures of water. the information in the table below (blurry) to create a proper scientific report and to answer the corresponding questions. chart: temperature (°c) – 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50; number of developing clams – 12, 69, 190, 160, 99, 79, 36, 0 3. graph this information on the graph provided & then answer the following questions: a. what is the dependent variable? b. what is the independent variable? c. what is the optimum temperature for clam development? d. what is the mean number of clams per sample? e. approximately how many clams would be developing in 10 degrees celsius water?

Explanation:

Sub - question A:

In an experiment, the dependent variable is the one that depends on the independent variable and is measured. Here, the number of developing clams depends on the water temperature, so it's the dependent variable.

The independent variable is the one that is manipulated or changed in an experiment. Here, water temperature is the factor being varied to observe its effect on clam development.

The optimum temperature is where the number of developing clams is the highest. From the table, at 30°C, the number of developing clams (190) is the maximum among the given temperatures.

Answer:

Number of developing clams
