Connor and Miguel want to investigate if the type of
fertilizer changes the color of their hydrangea flowers.
They select 10 hydrangea bushes and plant them in the
same yard with the same type of soil. Every bush gets 3
cups of fertilizer, but each receiving a different brand.
One bush gets no fertilizer. All bushes receive morning
sunlight and no afternoon sunlight. All bushes are watered
the same amount every other morning. After four weeks,
