ver the next question Many gardeners believe that certain edible herbs like oregano sage and rosemary taste better if deprived of water and nutrients You decide to test the hypothesis that the frequency of watering influences the flavor of sage You grow two sage plants from seed side by side in two separate pots You water one every other day as a control treatment and the other only once a week as an experimental treatment Then you invite 50 people over for a taste test Each receives two samples of sage leaves marked as A and B so that they do not know which sample is from which treatment Your friends rate each sample s flavor on a scale of 1 5 You compare the average scores for each plant W Less Frequently Watered More Frequently Watered Q3 10 As with any experiment your setup has limitations Which of the following ideas for increasing replication is MOST likely to improve your ability to test the hypothesis that watering frequency affects the taste of sage in general Increase the number of leaf samples taken from each plant Increase the number of sage plants in the experimental group Increase the number of sage plants in both control and experimental groups O Do the same test on rosemary and oregano in addition to sage
