Question

Ten seeds were planted in each of 5 pots found around the house that contained 500g of "Pete’s Potting Soil." The pots were given the following amounts of distilled water each day for 40 days: Pot 1: 50mL; Pot 2: 100mL; Pot 3: 150mL; Pot 4: 200mL; Pot 5: 250mL. Because Pot 3 received the recommended amount of water, it was used as a control. The height of each plant was measured at the end of the experiment. one person wrote: hypothesis: The more water the plant receives, the taller the plant will grow. another: Plants of the following seeds will grow the best when watered with 150ml water/day for 40 days.

are they both good hypothesis?

Answer 1

The hypotheses presented are both good because they establish relationships and can be tested through experiments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The hypothesis that the more water a plant receives, the taller it will grow is a good hypothesis because it establishes a relationship between the amount of water and plant growth. It can be tested through an experiment by comparing the height of plants watered with different amounts of water.

Similarly, the hypothesis that plants will grow best when watered with 150ml water/day for 40 days is also a good hypothesis. It specifies a specific amount of water and duration, allowing for a controlled experiment to determine the effect of water on plant growth.
