Q EXERCISE 1: DATA INTERPRETATION Dissolved oxygen is oxygen that is trapped in a fluid. Since many living organisms require oxygen to survive, it is a necessary component of water systems (streams, lakes, rivers, etc.). Dissolved oxygen is measured in units of parts per million (ppm). Examine the data in Table 4, which shows the amount of dissolved oxygen present in a body of water and the number of fish observed in the sample. Then, answer the questions below. 1. What patterns do you observe based on the information in Table 4? 2. Develop a hypothesis relating to the amount of dissolved oxygen measured in the water sample and the number of fish observed in the body of water. 3. What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? 4. What would be the independent and dependent variables? 5. What would be your control?

Answer: The increasing pattern in 1st row.Answer: When amount of dissolved oxygen increases to certain level, number of fishes also increases but after a certain level number of fishes decreases.Answer: To test the hypothesis, collect data and then analyzing will help to determine the hypothesis is correct or not.
