The reason for lowered overall height in girls compared with boys is CLOSURE OF EPIPHYSES DUE TO ESTROGEN SECRETION.
The closure of epiphyses makes girls' growth to begin to level off around the age of 12 and 13, while the boys continue to grow until about the age of 17 or 18. Both boys and girls grow at the rate of about 2 inches per year until they reach puberty age.

Francis was recording plant heights for an experiment. Each time that she took a measurement, she wrote it down. Then, she measu
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

She most likely was trying to see how much the plant has grown over a certain amount of time each measurement was taken. (See more below.)

Explanation:

Once she measured how much the plant has grown, she compared it. She could have compared it by subtracting the newest height to the height taken before present measurement. A good experimental conclusion differs from an inference is by data. A good experimental conclusion has data that has been measured from testable concepts and has detailed data; therefore, reliable. If you were to inference the experiment, it would not be reliable data since it is a guess based on the experiments appearance. For example, if she were to make an inference on this experiment, she could have observed the plant when it was a sapling. When she had seen the sapling has grown overtime, she could say that it grew roughly 5 inches in height, and that would not be reliable since no further measurements was taken before or after the plant is/was growing.
