Analyzing Data and Drawing Conclusions

Question 8 • PA-Biology CR

A good conclusion restates the hypothesis so that the reader

Answer
A
does not have to return to the beginning of the report.
B
sees how the scientist applied the results to the hypothesis.
C
understands how the methods relate to the hypothesis.
D
recognizes that the hypothesis was correct.

Explanation

A conclusion should connect the experiment’s results back to the hypothesis, showing whether the evidence supports or does not support it. Thus, restating the hypothesis helps the reader see how the scientist applied the results to it. The conclusion does not necessarily show that the hypothesis was correct, so D is too absolute.
