    This document discusses two experiments related to lung volume. The first examines data Sofia and Zara collected on lung volumes in musicians. It asks questions about what their results show and how to improve the experiment. The second describes an experiment that measured lung volumes in hundreds of men and women of different ages. It involves interpreting a graph of the mean lung volumes and making a prediction based on the data.

    B.

    Looking at data on lung volumes


    Practice
    In this exercise, you will look for patterns in data. Then you think about how to improve
    an experiment.
    Look at the experiment that Sofia and Zara did, which is described in Exercise 1.3A.
    Sofia and Zara discuss what their results show.

    1 Is Sofia right? Explain your answer.


    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    2 Is Zara right? Explain your answer


    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    3 The girls' teacher says they cannot draw any definite conclusions from their results.
    She asks them to try to improve their experiment. What will improve the girls'
    experiment?
    Tick ( )two boxes.

    Collecting more results from more people in the orchestra.


    Finding out whether playing a percussion instrument
    affects lung volume.
    Making three measurements for each person.
    Measuring how fast each person can run.
    C. Lung volume at different ages
    Challenge
    In this task, you will practise finding
    information on a graph.
    You will do a simple calculation, and use
    evidence from the graph to make
    predictions.
    Scientists measured the lung volumes of
    several hundred men and women of
    different ages. The people were asked to
    push out as much air from their lungs as
    they could, in one breath.
    The mean values of the volume of air
    pushed out for each age group were
    calculated.

    1. Suggest why the researchers collected results from several hundred men and women,
    rather than just a few in each age group
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    2. State the mean volume of air pushed out for women in the 20-29 age group. Remember
    to give the unit with your answer.
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    3. Calculate the difference between the mean volumes of air pushed out for men and
    women in the 40--49 age group.
    Show your working.
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    4. Describe how the mean volume of air that can be pushed out by women changes with
    age.
    …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
    …………….………………………………………………………………………………………………….

    5. Use the graph to predict a value for the mean volume of air that can be pushed out by
    men aged between 70 and 79.
