A scientist was asked to test the effect of a new vitamin for rats. His hypothesis was that young rats that had vitamins added t
o their food would gain weight faster than young rats fed a normal diet. He predicted that if young rats were fed vitamins, then they would gain more weight by the end of the experiment. He tested the effect of adding vitamins to some of the rats' diet by measuring the amount of weight each rat gained after three months. He then determined the average weight gained in each group. To analyze his results, he put the data he collected into the table shown below.
Which of the following could have added bias to the data?
A.Keeping the rats in the same room, but in separate cages during the experiment B.Not using all male or all female rats, since they are different sizes when grown C.Recording the data in a table instead of on a graph D.Not having the experimental results peer reviewed

11.43g/mL
Explanation:
Parameters given:
Volume of water in the graduated cylinder = 100mL
Volume of water plus lead weight = 450mL
Mass of lead weight = 4000g
Unknown:
Density of lead weight =?
Solution:
Density represents mass per unit volume of a substance.
Density =
Volume of the lead weight equals the volume of water it displaces
Volume of lead weight = 450 - 100 = 350mL
Density = = 11.43g/mL
