Andy made the graph shown to record the observations of an experiment to study the effect of sunlight on the growth of plants. Three identical plants having a height of 15 cm were used for the experiment. 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. A bar graph titled Plant Growth is shown. The y axis, labeled Height in centimeters, goes from 0 to 8. The x axis, labeled Week, goes from 1 to 4. Each week has 3 bars, no sunlight, 3 hours sunlight, and 5 hour sunlight. For weeks 1 to 4, bars for no sunlight have a height of 0.5 centimeter, bars for 3 hours have heights of 1, 2.4, 3, and 4.5 centimeters, and bars for 5 hours have heights of 2.4, 4, 6, and 7 centimeters.
