Students were asked to design a lab that investigated the relationship between exercise and heart rate.
Heart rate was determined by recording the pulse rate in beats per minute. The students hypothesized that
increased exercise results in an increased heart rate. The class results for the experiment are shown in the
graph below.
29. Which statement is best supported by the graph?
a. Before exercising, the average pulse rate was 65; four minutes after exercising, the average pulse
rate was 65.
b. After four minutes of exercising, the average pulse rate was 120; two minutes after exercising, the
average pulse rate was 120.
c. While exercising, the highest average pulse rate was 150; before exercising, the average pulse rate
was 65.
d. Two minutes before exercising, the average pulse rate was 80; after two minutes of exercise, the
average pulse rate was 140.
30. Students in a different science class carried out the same experiment. The data they obtained did not
support the hypothesis that increased exercise results in increased heart rate. The most scientifically sound
way to deal with this situation is to
a. write a new hypothesis
b. read about pulse rate in a biology textbook
c. have the students in both classes vote to decide which hypothesis is correct
d. ask students in a third class to do the experiment and see if their results support the hypothesis
