Read the following scenario and then chose the best answer to the question. Robyn wants to know if genetically modified apples make you grow taller. She initially measures everyone and gives group A genetically modified apples and she gives group B regular apples. Afterwards, she remeasures everyone and learns that people in Group A have grown by an average of three inches.

Group A

The Apples

Group B

Robyn
