Two fertilizers are applied to randomly selected potato plants after several weeks. The potatoes are weighed. The weights in kilograms are as follows which fertilizer is generally more effect.
To determine which fertilizer is generally more effective, we can calculate the average weight for each group of potato plants treated with each fertilizer.
Let's assume the weights of the potato plants treated with Fertilizer A are: 1.5 kg, 1.7 kg, 1.8 kg, 2.0 kg, and 2.2 kg.
The average weight for Fertilizer A = (1.5 + 1.7 + 1.8 + 2.0 + 2.2) / 5 = 1.84 kg
Let's assume the weights of the potato plants treated with Fertilizer B are: 1.6 kg, 1.9 kg, 2.1 kg, 2.3 kg, and 2.5 kg.
The average weight for Fertilizer B = (1.6 + 1.9 + 2.1 + 2.3 + 2.5) / 5 = 2.08 kg
Therefore, the average weight of the potato plants treated with Fertilizer B is higher than the average weight of the potato plants treated with Fertilizer A. This suggests that Fertilizer B is generally more effective at promoting potato plant growth.
