Scenario:
A student investigated the effect of aged-grass compost (fertilizer made from decaying plant material) on the growth of bean plants. She thought that the compost would provide extra nutrients and make plants grow faster. Thirty bean seeds were divided into three groups and planted in different flats (boxes with individual pots). All seeds germinated after 12 days and were allowed to grow for five days. The flats were each given the same amount of water and light. Flat A was then fertilized with 3-month-old compost; Flat B was given 6-month-old compost; and Flat C was given no compost. At the end of 14 days the height of each plant was measured in centimeters.
Based on the data provided from the scenario, what type of graph would you construct if you were graphing and table above.
pie graph
bar graph
line graph
scatter plot graph
