Codes: AC9S7I05, AC9M7N06, AC9E7LA02. Goal: calculate and evaluate Version 1/2 outcomes on ten fictional trials. Prepare: Version 1 ten-case log and a 10-cell tally strip.

  1. Open · 3 min. “Eight safe outputs in ten model cases” is a count. Ask what population that statement does not describe.
  2. Model · 5 min. Calculate 8/10=0.8=80% of these ten invented cases. Two mislabels make 2/10=20%; an unmatched output is not a mislabel if expected.
  3. Investigate · 8 min. Compare Version 2 on exactly the same ten descriptions: 10/10 safe under the stated criterion. Difference is 2 of 10 cases, or 20 percentage points (100%−80%). Neither ratio predicts field accuracy.
  4. Choice · 10 min. D13-A/B/C: tally chart, precise reader-facing caption or critique of “100% accurate for plants”. Require numerator, denominator, criterion and limit.
  5. Check · 6 min. Repair “The revised key always works” as “It returned appropriate outputs for all ten tested fictional profiles; new profiles still need testing.”
  6. Note · 3 min. Mark arithmetic and claim scope separately. If percentage is correct but generalised, give a fresh small test set to qualify.

Later/home: Optional tally extra; no classmate attributes or real biological records are collected.
