A biology student wanted to study the effect of fertilizer on the growth of tomato plants. He obtained 40 of the same type of tomato plant and placed them into separate containers, each containing the same amount of soil. Each group (10 plants) received a different watering solution, containing varying amounts of fertilizer. The table below shows the average height of the plants by the end of one week.

Plant group Fertilizer amount (g) Average height of plants (cm)

1 0 3.0

2 5 3.2

3 10 4.4

4 20 5.0
