The science club at Tracy's school is researching how temperature affects fish reproduction. They conducted a study to find out if raising the water temperature would decrease the number of bass eggs that hatched. They gathered bass
eggs from a local lake and put half of them in each of ten small aquariums in the lab. Half of the aquariums were kept at
room temperature, and the other half were placed in a sunny window. One student recorded that nearly 80% of the
room temperature eggs hatched, while only 50% of the eggs kept in the window hatched. Another student found no
difference in the hatch rate. What should their next step be?
A. The science club should ignore the results of the second student.
B. The science club should conduct an experiment with another type of fish egg.
C. The science club should repeat the experiment again and compare the two sets of results.
D. The science club should use the results to conclude that an increase in temperature decreases the hatch rate
of the eggs.
