Several students tested plant growth for given conditions. Which student’s data is most representative of average plant growth for the tested conditions? Alicia tested 6 plants. Brenden tested 24 plants. Caitlin tested 3 plants. Diego tested 12 plants.

Brenden tested 24 plants, the largest sample size. A larger sample is generally more representative of average plant growth because it is less affected by unusual results from any one plant. Therefore, Brenden’s data is most representative.
