outcome and conclusion are also valid.
Score: ___________________
7. Divine is interested to conduct research about the
factors affecting the growing of fish in saltwater.

examine the results of the data analysis. Before he
accepts or rejects his hypothesis, he makes sure
that he has established a high level of confidence
in his data analysis. He is confident and precise in
