After a pet is diagnosed as being sick, Dr. Chun, the

veterinarian, takes the temperature of every other pet in the

center. He is very careful to clean and cool the

thermometer after taking each animal's temperature. He

then records data on a table.

It was inadequate.

It was false.

It was recorded by one person.

It was not recorded in a lab.

Even though none of the other pets appear sick, Dr. Chun

finds that they all have very high temperatures. The next

day, he learns that the thermometer had been damaged

before, and a new thermometer shows that all the pets

have normal temperatures

What was the most likely problem with the first set of

data?
