Suppose a student hypothesized that mice would grow best if fed apple slices. She used four mice, all of which she incubated for seven days. She fed the first mouse apple slices, the second raw steak, the third fruit punch, and the fourth was not given any food. At the end of seven days, she found the following changes in mass for the four mice: the one fed apple slices gained 1.00 g, the one fed raw steak gained 0.61 g, the one given fruit punch gained 4.20 g, and the one given only water died by week's end. Did the results of her experiment support her hypothesis?

NO, the result of her experiment did not support her hypothesis

Explanation:

Let's take an integral look about it; as we all know that an hypothesis is an educated guess  which is proposed to give explanation of a particular event, usually they serve as the starting phase of investigation  through carrying out experiments.

Now; a student hypothesized that mice would grow best if fed apple slices

HYPOTHESIS : MICE WOULD GROW BEST IF FED WITH APPLE SLICES.

EXPERIMENT: The experiment is carry out on four sample of mice, which was incubated for seven days. since we have four mice, we will denote them with A, B, C, D  and what they were being fed with respectively.

MICE  A   APPLE SLICE

MICE B  RAW STEAK

MICE C FRUIT PUNCH

MICE D WAS NOT GIVEN ANY FOOD

RESULT:

There result was based on the weight of their body after the experiment, definitely if the hypothesis was right, the result must support it. (i.e Mice feed with apple slice will have the greatest weight.

MICE  A   1.00 g

MICE B  0.61 g

MICE C 4.20 g

MICE D dead

It is now obvious that the hypothesis is not valid since the result cannot support the hypothesis which says "Mice would grow best if fed ith apple slices", rather from our result, the Mice fed with fruit punch grow best.

the atmospheric gas that forms a mild acid when dissolved in water is called carbon dioxide. the correct answer is a. 2.) chemical weathering would cause an inscription on a marble headstone to become harder and harder to read over time.
