There is not enough information given
Erin is testing to see how different amounts of nitrogen infused in the soil will impact the height of her corn plants. She puts two corn plants into two pots. One is filled with nitrogen infused soil and the other is not. She puts the regular soil pot outside and the nitrogen infused plant in her bathroom. The corn in the regular soil grows to 7 feet tall and the corn in the nitrogen soil grows to 2 feet tall.
What is her independent variable?
Regular soil
Nitrogen infused soil
How tall the plants grow
The plant in the bathroom
