Using the table above, make a claim that is best supported by the data.

Maggie read that some plants grow better if the soil is acidic. She can’t believe that a plant can grow when exposed to acid. Maggie decides to test if the plants she has will grow better when acid is added to the soil. She puts potting soil in two planting containers and transplants two of her geraniums that seem about the same size into the pots. She puts the pots in the same location so that they both get the same sunlight each day, are at the same temperature and she makes sure they get the same amount of water. However, Maggie puts a tablespoon of vinegar in the water she gives to one of the plants. She measures the growth of the plants every week for five weeks and records the results in a data table below:

Identify the independent variable in Maggie's experiment.
Vinegar water
Height of geraniums
Week number
Regular water

Which claim below is best supported by the graph above?
Wednesday is the best day to view shooting stars.
On Thursday 250 shooting stars were documentd.
Monday through Wednesday saw an increase in the number of shooting stars.
Tuesday had the lowest documented number of shooting stars.
Identify the dependent variable on the Graph of Shooting Stars.

Measuring each day of the week at 10:00 PM
Which claim is best supported by the graph above?
The fertilizer was more effective on the Oak Seedling than on the Rose bush at higher concentrations.
The rose bush grew the most using the 200mg/l fertilizer.
Using 100mg/l was most effective on the Corn plant.
The Corn plant grew the most.
