A biology student wanted to study the effect of fertilizer on the growth of tomato plants. He placed an equal number of tomato plants into two containers. Each day for one week, Container A received only water, while Container B received a mixture of fertilizer solution. The table below shows the average height of the plants over the course of the experiment.
Day Container A - Average height (cm) Container B - Average height (cm)
1 3.0 3.0
2 3.2 3.3
3 3.3 3.9
4 3.5 4.3
5 3.7 4.6
6 3.8 4.9
7 3.9 5.1
