ated the effect of soaking small onion bulbs in different
onion bulbs and divided the onions into 6 batches, each with 10 onions,
The onions were surface dried with paper towels and weighed. The mean mass of
the onions in each batch was calculated. The onions were then left in sodium chloride
solutions for three hours.
After three hours the students surface dried the onions and weighed them again. Their
results are given in Table 3.1.
