Andy is studying the effect of sunlight on the growth of plants. He selected three identical plants with a height of 15 cm for the experiment. Andy created a data table for his observations. The first plant was kept away from sunlight, the second plant received 3 hours of sunlight, and the third plant received 5 hours of sunlight. All other growing conditions of the plants were kept constant.
