Question

Ali hypothesized that increasing fertilizer would increase plant growth. Four groups of thirty similar plants were given 0 to 15 ml of fertilizer, as shown in the graph. The change in plant height for each group over a two-week period was averaged and recorded.

Answer 1

The hypothesis was not supported; the data indicated that too much fertilizer can inhibit plant growth. hope i helped :D

Answer 2

The hypnotizes was not supported.

It can be noticed that the plants that didn't get any fertilizer tend to grow less than the plants that did get moderate amount of fertilizer, but the plants that were getting much bigger amount of fertilizer didn't performed as expected and they were not growing bigger and better than the other ones. This is because the plants have certain requirements, so if they are surpassed the plants do not get any benefit plus, but instead, it can even cause them damage.
