Answer

There is more than one pattern that may emerge from data collected during experiments or investigations. In this investigation, Ashley could see a pattern with the car that rolled down the plastic surface. The car on the plastic ramp rolled down the fastest two out of three trials. Ashley could conclude that this car went down the ramp the fastest.
