Question

jake concluded that the runoff had little effect on the dissolved oxygen levels, and aisha concluded that the runoff had a major effect on dissolved oxygen levels. what is the most likely reason that jake and aisha formed different conclusions? graph 1: jakes graph effect of fertilizer runoff on dissolved oxygen levels days after nutrient event dissolved oxygen (mg/l) graph 2: aishas graph effect of fertilizer runoff on dissolved oxygen levels days after nutrient event dissolved oxygen (mg/l)

Explanation:

Jake and Aisha likely had different data collection methods, different sampling locations, or different time - frames for their measurements which led to different conclusions. Sampling errors, differences in experimental set - up, or the presence of other confounding variables in their respective study areas could also be reasons.

Answer:

They had differences in data collection methods, sampling locations, time - frames, experimental set - up or presence of confounding variables.
