Nicol found out that his spinach garden is infested with bugs. His friend Jun told him that a
dilution of detergent and spraying it to the bugs present on his plants will make them go away.
Problem is. Jun does not know the right amount of dilution that will be effective without
harming the plant itself. Nicol must devise an experiment plan. He asked you to make a
summary table of the experiment design.
