    Krusty Krabs Breath Mints

    Mr. Krabs created a secret ingredient for a breath mint that he thinks will “cure” the bad
    breath people get
    from eating crabby patties at the Krusty Krab. He asked 100 customers with a history of
    bad breath to try his
    new breath mint. He had fifty customers (Group A) eat a breath mint after they finished
    eating a crabby patty.
    The other fifty (Group B) also received a breath mint after they finished the sandwich,
    however, it was just a
    regular breath mint and did not have the secret ingredient. Both groups were told that
    they were getting the breath mint that would cure their bad breath. Two hours after eating
    the crabby patties, thirty customers in Group A and ten customers in Group B reported
    having better breath than they normally had after eating crabby patties.

    1. Which people are in the control


    group?

    2. What is the independent


    variable?

    3. What is the dependent variable?

    4. What should Mr. Krabs’


    conclusion be?
    5. Why do you think 10 people in
    group B reported fresher breath?

    SpongeBob Clean Pants

    SpongeBob noticed that his favorite pants were not as clean as they used to be. His friend
    Sandy told him that he should try using Clean-O detergent, a new laundry soap she found
    at Sail-Mart. SpongeBob made sure to wash one pair of pants in plain water and another
    pair in water with the Clean-O detergent. After washing both pairs of pants a total of three
    times, the pants washed in the Clean-O detergent did not appear to be any cleaner than
    the pants washed in plain water.

    6. What was the problem


    SpongeBob wanted to investigate?

    7. What is the independent variable?

    8. What is the dependent variable?

    9. What should Sponge Bob’s


    conclusion be?

    Squidward’s Symphony

    Squidward loves playing his clarinet and believes it attracts more jellyfish than any other
    instrument he
    has played. In order to test his hypothesis, Squidward played a song on his clarinet for a
    total of 5
    minutes and counted the number of jellyfish he saw in his front yard. He played the song
    a total of 3
    times on his clarinet and repeated the experiment using a flute and a guitar. He also
    recorded the
    number of jellyfish he observed when he was not playing an instrument. The results are
    shown in the
    chart.
    10. What is the independent variable?

    11. What is the dependent variable?

    12. What should Squidward’s conclusion be?

    13. Are the results reliable? Why or why not?

    Super Bubbles

    Patrick and SpongeBob love to blow bubbles! Patrick found some Super
    Bubble Soap at Sail-Mart. The ads claim that Super Bubble Soap will
    produce bubbles that are twice as big as bubbles made with regular bubble
    soap. Patrick and SpongeBob made up two samples of bubble solution. One
    sample was made with 5 oz. of Super Bubble Soap and 5 oz. of water, while
    the other was made with the same amount of water and 5 oz. of regular
    bubble soap. Patrick and SpongeBob used their favorite bubble wands to
    blow 10 different bubbles and did their best to measure the diameter of each
    one. The results are shown in the chart
    14. What did the Super Bubble ads claim?

    15. What is the independent variable?

    16. What is the dependent variable?

    17. Look at the results in the chart.

    a. Calculate the average diameter for each bubble solution.

    Super Bubble = ______ cm Regular Soap = ________ cm

    b. What should their conclusion be?

    18. Are the results reliable? Why or why not?
