Question

Two fertilizers are applied to randomly selected potato plants. After several weeks, the potatoes are weighed. The weights in kilograms are as follows. Which fertilizer is generally more effective?%0D%0A%0D%0AFertilizer A: 27, 20, 16, 18, 22, 19, 23, 21, 17, 19%0D%0AFertilizer B: 28, 19, 18, 21, 24, 20, 25, 27, 29, 21%0D%0A%0D%0A(1 point)%0D%0AResponses%0D%0A%0D%0AFertilizers A and B are both ineffective, because there is no difference in the ranges of the weights of the potatoes.%0D%0AFertilizers A and B are both ineffective, because there is no difference in the ranges of the weights of the potatoes.%0D%0A%0D%0AFertilizer B is generally more effective, because the mean and median weights of the potatoes that were treated with it are higher.%0D%0AFertilizer B is generally more effective, because the mean and median weights of the potatoes that were treated with it are higher.%0D%0A%0D%0AFertilizers A and B are equally effective, because the ranges of the weights of the potatoes are the same.%0D%0AFertilizers A and B are equally effective, because the ranges of the weights of the potatoes are the same.%0D%0A%0D%0AFertilizer A is generally more effective, because the mean and median weights of the potatoes treated with it are higher.

Answer 1

Fertilizer B is generally more effective, because the mean and median weights of the potatoes that were treated with it are higher.
