After a week they were weighed again and Mealworm A had lost weight and Mealworm B had gained . This concluded that the null hypothesis was rejected since only Mealworm B gained weight. Introduction The mealworm is not a

he decided to grow wheat instead of tobacco on his plantation. This is because tobacco is much harder to grow than wheat. Also‚ Washington could sell his wheat locally. As for tobacco‚ most of the tobacco Washington grew was shipped of to England. To add on‚ Washington could turn the wheat to flour. Washington built a 16 sided barn to prepare the wheat to go to the mill to be made into flour.

The green Revolution was very successful in Mexico which lead to the technology spread worldwide in the 50’s and 60’s. For example‚ India was on a brink of mass famine across the country in the early 1960’s because of population growth.
