Extracted text: Question 3 A farmer plants ginger as a main crop in his farm all year long because ginger can be harvested multiple times throughout its growth stages. The farmer studied the effects of proportion of watering (ml) per day and different growth stages on the crop yield (kg) in his farm. The below table records the ginger crop yielded (kg) for different growth stages and different proportions of watering. Each watering setting has four rows of crops to rule out other factors.
