An experiment was conducted to measure the effect of equal amounts of fertilizer on the growth of bean plants and corn plants. The results indicated that, although both seedlings benefited from the fertilizer, the bean plants benefited slightly more. Which graph best shows these results?

Question

A.
W
B.
Y
C.
X
D.
Z

Answer 1

To determine which graph best represents the results of the experiment, we would need more context about the specific characteristics of the graphs labeled W, Y, X, and Z. However, based on your description, we can infer that the ideal graph would show two sets of data: one for bean plants and one for corn plants, with the bean plants indicating a slightly greater growth response to the equal amounts of fertilizer applied.

Therefore, the graph should display:

• Two separate lines or bars for bean plants and corn plants.
• The line or bar representing bean plants should be higher (indicating greater growth) than that for corn plants.

If you can describe the graphs more specifically or provide their features (such as trends, heights, slopes, etc.), I would be able to help you select the correct option.
