Answer 1

Based on the table, it is clear that the larger the size of the

section, the more plants grew. This is supported by the fact

that section2, which had the largest size of 125 square feet,

had the highest number of plants with 38. Section 1 had the

smallest size with only 25 square feet and the lowest number

of plants with only 13. However, itis important to note that the

number of plants can also be affected by other factors such

as the quality of soil, amount of water and sunlight given

to each section, and the type of seeds planted. It would be

beneficial for the scientist to consider these factors in future

experiments to obtain more accurate and reliable results.
