Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottoms a nicer place to
live. He has created a new sauce that he thinks will reduce
the production of body gas associated with eating crabby
patties from the Krusty Krab. He recruits 100 customers
with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group

(Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just like
new sauce but is really just mixture of mayonnaise and food
coloring. Both groups were told that they were getting the
sauce that would reduce gas production. Two hours after

having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B
reported having fewer gas problems.

Alex placed a small beaker of cold water on a hot plate and heated it for 10 minutes. He took
the temperature of the water several times during those 10 minutes and recorded his data.
Alex claims that the graph below shows the relationship between temperature and time when
water is heated.
Which statement best explains why the temperature leveled off in section 2 of the graph?
A Alex turned off the hot plate so the water did not get any warmer.
B The water reached the boiling point, so the temperature no longer increased.
C An experimental error caused the graph to level off, because the water temperature should
keep increasing over time.
D Cold water heats faster than warm water, so once the cold water was room temperature,
it took more than 10 minutes to make it hot.
