6 multiple choice 2 points the data table below shows the yield of vegetables in a schools garden for three years. the yield is the number of pounds of vegetables harvested. the same number of each type of vegetable was planted every year. data table which statement is an inference? the onion yield was greater than the beet yield in 2013. the butternut squash yield increased from 2011 to 2012. the spinach yield was 102 pounds in 2011 and 137 pounds in 2012. the acorn squash yield decreased from 2012 to 2013 due to lower temperatures.

Explanation:

An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence and reasoning. The first three options are just statements of facts from the data table. The last option “The acorn squash yield decreased from 2012 to 2013 due to lower temperatures” is an inference because it is a conclusion (lower temperatures caused the decrease) drawn from the fact that the yield decreased (evidence from the data table) and reasoning (assuming a cause - effect relationship).

Answer:

The acorn squash yield decreased from 2012 to 2013 due to lower temperatures.
