    a. The mean growth of plant is same for each type of soil.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The analysis of variance is statistical procedure used to assess the equality of more than two means by computing two different estimate of variances. Basically when we have more than two means to compare, we can't use t-test or z-test because these procedure will be tedious and time taking. So, the null hypothesis will be the same. Hence the null hypothesis in the given scenario is that "the mean growth of plant is same for each type of soil".
