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. cucumber sprouts on a potting tray jenny grows cucumbers to sell at her local farmers market. she read that cucumbers are sensitive to cold, so she wondered if using a heating pad would encourage her cucumber seeds to germinate faster. she predicted that her cucumber seeds would germinate more quickly when kept at a higher temperature. jenny planted six cucumber seeds in a planter that she kept on a heating pad and six in an identical planter left on the counter. after one week, she found that the cucumber seeds in the planter on the heating pad had sprouted, while those left on the counter had not. jenny concluded that cucumber seeds germinate more quickly when kept at warmer temperatures. she shared her findings with her friends at the farmers market.

Explanation:

Jenny observed that the seeds on the heating - pad sprouted while those on the counter didn't. This is her examination of the data (the sprouting status of seeds in different temperature conditions) to look for a pattern (the relationship between temperature and seed germination).

Answer:

After one week, she found that the cucumber seeds in the planter on the heating pad had sprouted, while those left on the counter had not.
