Question

the passage below describes a process of scientific inquiry. select the part of the passage that describes analyzing the data. hint: to analyze the data, you examine the data and look for patterns. johnny was helping his younger sister use a foam dart launcher that she received for her birthday. they wondered what launch angle would cause the foam dart to travel the farthest horizontally. they thought that launching with a higher angle to the ground would give the dart more time to travel before hitting the ground and would therefore allow the foam dart to travel farther. johnny and his sister set up an experiment in their backyard. they used a protractor to adjust the launcher to five different angles: 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75°. they launched three foam darts from each angle and used a measuring tape to determine how far each dart traveled horizontally. they then calculated the average for each group and graphed the results. they found that the darts launched at 45° went the farthest, while those launched at 15° and 75° traveled the shortest distance. johnny and his sister shared their results with the friend who had given his sister the launcher.

Explanation:

Analyzing data involves examining data for patterns. In the passage, calculating the average for each group of dart - launch distances and graphing the results is an act of examining the data to look for patterns.

Answer:

They then calculated the average for each group and graphed the results.
