  Median ↔️ Middle value

  Mode ↔️ Most frequent value
• What is the final step in analyzing experimental data?

  Drawing conclusions
• The purpose of communicating findings is to share, present, and explain the outcomes of an experiment
• Effective communication involves using clear and concise writing.


  True
• Which data collection method involves gathering data through observation in a natural setting?

  Observational studies
• Data validation and cleaning ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data
• Drawing conclusions involves relating the findings to the original hypothesis
• Synthesizing findings is the first step in drawing conclusions based on data.


  True
• Steps for drawing conclusions based on data

  1️⃣ Synthesize the findings
