The American Academy of Pediatrics has noted an increase in the population of children with disorders that are usually associated with older adults, such as diabetes. Observers of American culture point to the trend to "super-size" food servings as a possible cause. Larger servings might encourage children of today to eat more fats and sugars than children ate a generation ago. The problem being tested in this experiment is whether or not large servings of food can lead to diabetes. In an attempt to determine if there is a relationship between diet and the development of diabetes in children, a study was done which surveyed a group of children regarding their eating habits and whether or not they were diabetic. When the survey results were collected, the data were used to organize the children into two

groups based on their responses, and then the data were analyzed.

Question 2: State the hypothesis being tested in this investigation.

If independent variable] then... [dependent variable]....

If (this happens)...then (this will happen)...

Answer:

Question 3: Identify the most likely way the children were organized into two groups.

Hint: How would they divide the children? Based on what?

Answer:

Question 4: State what survey results would support the hypothesis stated above
