Question

what is the best conclusion based on this data? o the hypothesis was not supported because the data indicated that fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth. o the hypothesis was supported, to get the best growth, use 5 milliliters of fertilizer per plant. o the hypothesis was not supported, the data indicated that too much fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. o the hypothesis was supported, to get the best growth, use 15 milliliters of fertilizer per plant.

Explanation:

We need to analyze the data to draw a conclusion about the hypothesis regarding fertilizer - plant growth relationship. Looking at the data, as the amount of fertilizer increases from 0 to 15 milliliters, we need to see if there is a positive or negative trend in plant growth. If the growth doesn't increase with more fertilizer, it means fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth.

Answer:

D. The hypothesis was not supported because the data indicated that fertilizing plants does not improve plant growth.
