B. An experiment where the final results are known ahead of time
C. A hypothesis that regulates the results of an experiment
D. An experiment that is undertaken both in the field and in the laboratory
E. A variable that changes during the course of an experiment

9. A marine biologist observes that mako sharks, sardines, and salmon leap out of the water. An example of
induction from these observations is:
A. Only some fishes can leap out of the water
B. All fishes leap out of the water
C. Fishes leap out of the water to escape from predators
D. Flatfishes can leap out of the water since they live on the bottom
