2. Ms. Ivy wants to grow rose bushes that produce the most blooms possible. Her friends have told her that both adding nitrogen to the soil and using alkaline water will help. Each of these are expensive methods, so she wants to test their anecdotal evidence using an experiment. She tells you she plans to randomly divide her 16 rose bushes (all planted at the same time in separate pots) into two groups of eight. The control group will receive regular soil and water while the treatment group receives nitrogen infused soil and alkaline water. She plans to count the blooms and decides if the treatment was effective. a. Explain what possible flaws she might have regarding the results: b. Describe an improved experiment design she could do to determine if using nitrogen infused soil, alkaline water, or both would be the best use of her money. [Remember to describe your randomization plan in detail]
