Which Design Works Better Practice Test

Marcus and Yuki tested two bases to keep a tower from tipping. Design A has a narrow base and it tipped (yes). Design B has a wide base and it stayed up (yes). A tried to help, but tipping was a weakness. B was strong because the wide base stayed stable. They need the best base for a steady tower. Design B works better than Design A because the data shows it did not tip. The wide base keeps it steady, solving the stability problem. Based on the data, what does the data tell us about which design solves the problem better?

During design review time, Sofia and Chen tested two containers to organize supplies. Design A was one big box, and the items got mixed up (yes). Design B had dividers, and the items stayed separated (yes). Both designs tried to solve the same organization problem. Design B’s strength is dividers keep things apart, and Design A’s weakness is items mix together. Chen pointed to the results and said, “Separated helps us find things fast.” Sofia said, “Let’s choose using evidence, not guessing.” Their teacher asked, “Which design should we choose and why?” Based on the test results, which container design should they choose and why?
