A farmer divided his land into 2 groups of sections randomly. There is no difference in the quality of the soil between the 2 groups of land. He used Type A seeds in the first group and Type B seeds in the second group. After 3 months, the heights of the crops are measured across the two groups of land sections. Is the study observational or experimental? If it is an experiment, what is the controlled factor?

Here we must answer different things about the experiment that the farmer performed. We will see that this is an experiment and the controlled factors are:

What he did is divide his land in two equal parts, and then use different types of seeds in each one of the two parts.

After 3 months, he measures the height of the crops.

The questions are:

Is the study observational or experimental?

It is experimental, because the farmer assigned two areas and he decided what type of seed went into each area.

If it is an experiment, what are the controlled factor?

The controlled factors are the things that are the same for both of the groups of sections and that are relevant for the growth of the seeds. These things are:

Experiment

Time..

Step-by-step explanation:

It is an experimental study. An experimental study is a type of study in which all conditions are under the control of the researcher.

The control factor in this case may includes the time...before measurements.

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
