Consistent Growth Trend of Fertilizers

Very Hard Data Representation Interpreting Experimental Data

Scientists conducted an experiment to investigate the effect of different types of fertilizers on the growth rate of tomato plants. Three types of fertilizers were used: Organic (Fertilizer A), Synthetic (Fertilizer B), and Control (no fertilizer). Over a period of six weeks, the height of the plants was measured weekly. The collected data is summarized in the table below:

Table of Plant Height (cm)

Week | Fertilizer A | Fertilizer B | Control

1 | 10 | 9 | 8

2 | 15 | 14 | 10

3 | 20 | 18 | 12

4 | 25 | 23 | 15

5 | 30 | 27 | 18

6 | 35 | 32 | 20

Based on the data presented, which fertilizer shows the most consistent growth trend over the six-week period?
