treatment.

1. based upon the data collected, which juice do you hypothesize contains the greatest amount of tannins?

○ cranberry
○ blueberry
○ pomegranate
○ strawberry

Explanation:

Question 1

To determine if the statement is true or false, we compare the number of UTIs in the cranberry juice group and the no - juice group. From the bar graph, the "No juice" group has a much higher number of confirmed UTIs (around 15) compared to the "Cranberry" group (around 3). So the statement that females consuming cranberry juice exhibited the greatest incidence of UTIs as compared to the group with no treatment is false.

Tannins are thought to have a protective effect against UTIs (lower the number of UTIs). We look at the number of UTIs in each juice group. The "Pomegranate" group has the lowest number of confirmed UTIs (around 2), which suggests that pomegranate juice might have the highest amount of tannins (since more tannins would lead to fewer UTIs).

Answer:

False
