Question

*A researcher notcies a positive correlation between height of a plant and nurtient concentration over time. Based on this observation, what conclusion does he reach?*

A. The height of a plant increase in absence and presence of the nutrients

B. When the amount of nutrients available to the plant decreases, its heigh increases

C. The amount of nurtrients available to a plant is independent of how tall the plant gets

D. When the amount of nutrients available to the plant increases, its height also increases

Answer 1

The correct conclusion drawn from the positive correlation between the height of a plant and nutrient concentration over time is:

D. When the amount of nutrients available to the plant increases, its height also increases.

Answer 2

The conclusion that can be reached based on the researcher's observation of a positive correlation between the height of a plant and nutrient concentration over time is that when the amount of nutrients available to the plant increases, its height also increases (Option D).

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the researcher's observation of a positive correlation between the height of a plant and nutrient concentration over time, the conclusion that can be reached is that when the amount of nutrients available to the plant increases, its height also increases This conclusion is supported by the fact that the researcher noticed that as the nutrient concentration increased, the plant's height also increased. However, it is important to note that there is a point of saturation where further increases in the nutrient concentration do not lead to additional growth and may even be toxic to the plant.
