A tropical fish store wants to see whether a new, more expensive fish food causes fish to grow faster. She sets

up an experiment using three groups of ten clown fish each. The fish in group A receive a diet of 3 grams of the

new fish food. Fish in group B receive 3 grams of the old fish food. Fish in group C receive a mixture containing 2

grams of new food and one gram of old food. The length of each fish is measured weekly.
