Linear Functions Multiple Choice Questions with Answer Keys

SAT Math Practice Test Question No 1:

The graph above shows the results of a controlled experiment designed by a scientist to determine the effect of magnetic field strength on the growth of sunflower plants. 500 young sunflower plants were randomly assigned to the control or experimental group. In the control group, the scientist grew 250 sunflower plants under normal local geo-magnetic field conditions (30 microteslas). In the experimental group, the scientist grew 250 sunflower plants identically except under a lower geomagnetic field (20 microteslas). Based on the results of this experiment, which conclusion is NOT valid?

Option A : Sunflower plants grown under lower magnetic field conditions were more likely to weigh more than sunflower plants grown under normal magnetic field conditions.

Option B : There is evidence of an association between the strength of magnetic field and height in sunflower plants

Option C : Sunflower plants grown under lower magnetic field conditions were more likely to be taller than sunflower  plants grown under normal magnetic field conditions

Option D : Members of the control group were more likely to grow to less than100 inches than members of the  experimental group
