Question

Jordan wants to conduct an experiment to see if plant food makes a difference in how well plants grow. He gets 10 pots and plants a different type of seed in each. He gives plant food to half of the plants and does not give plant food to the rest. He records the amount of plant food given to the plants. But, he decides not to write down the types of seeds he planted.

Will someone else be able to repeat the experiment and find reliable results?
A.
No, the results would not be reliable since not all of the plants were given plant food.
B.
Yes, because the type of seed is not important. As long as some of the plants are receiving plant food and some are not, the experiment will give the same results.
C.
No, because Jordan would need to use all vegetable seeds for the experiment to be reliable.
D.
No, because Jordan should have used the same type of seeds in each pot, and should have recorded the type of seeds
