Free SAT® Practice Question
Education researchers studying student engagement hypothesized that college students are much more likely to respond to and fully complete academic surveys if the surveys are administered and responses requested before final exams than if they are administered after finals. The team sent survey requests to thousands of students at various universities, with some students receiving requests for completion before finals and others receiving requests for after finals.
Which choice best describes data from the graph that weaken the team's hypothesis?
A) A large majority of the students who received survey requests for completion before finals didn't respond to the request.
B) The proportion of students who responded to the survey or completed it fully didn't substantially differ based on whether the request was for completion before or after finals.
C) Only around half of the students who responded to survey requests for completion before finals went on to complete the full survey.
D) Of the students who received survey requests for completion after finals, more than 1,200 didn't respond and only around 100 completed the full survey.
