Kelvin is running an experiment on the growth of fern house plants with artificial light versus real light. Which of the following describes the population in this experiment?(1 point)
Responses
a. All fern house plants.
b. The fern house plants that received artificial light.
c. The fern house plants that received real light.
d. All types of house plants.
Which one is the correct answer and explain why it is the correct answer.
a. All fern house plants.
The population in this experiment would include all fern house plants, as Kelvin is studying the growth of fern house plants with artificial light versus real light. In order to accurately compare the effects of the different types of light on fern house plant growth, Kelvin would need to observe and record data from all fern house plants in the study, not just those exposed to one type of light. Therefore, the population in this experiment would be all fern house plants.
