Source: Primary data
In analysis of the fertilizer A it was discovered that the average diameter was 8.62963, the average height in the three plot of land it was 288.7037, while the average width was 28.60741 and the average length was 317.3111.
In analysis of the three different lot were fertilizer was applied it was further revealed that the minimum diameter was 5.6, height was 150.1, the width was 18.6 and the length was 231.4.
The maximum diameter was 11.7, the maximum height was 400.7, the maximum with was 34.9 and the maximum length was 461.9.
Regression analysis of Fertilizer A on height against diameter
Source: Primary Data
The R-squared value =0.5864 this implies that 58.64% of the changes in height are affected by the dimeter. This therefore indicates that there is a relationship between the height f the maize and dimeter as affected by the fertilizer A. The figure further shows that an increase in height by one meter would lead on average increase in diameter of 3.49163. if the height is zero the average diameter will be 0.01777968.
