Q3 Tomato plants 3 Points A researcher at OSU is interested in the average height of a new kind of genetically modified tomato plant. The researcher randomly selects 25 tomato plants from a large greenhouse and records the height of each plant, in centimeters.

The students in a biology class kept a record of the height (in centimeters) of plants for a class experiment. a) Sketch a histogram for these data (start at 30, width of 5). b) Find the mean and the standard deviation of the plants heights. Is it appropriate to use the mean and standard deviation to summarize these data? Explain. c) Describe the distribution of plant heights.

A gardener collected data on two types of tomato. The table below shows data for the amount of the tomatoes (in kg) in the two samples produced by 25 different gardeners. Type A: 178, 180, 100,105, 200, 160, 170, 175, 150, 120, 145, 190, 155, 145, 152, 165, 195, 180, 170,162, 160, 125, 130, 166, 125. Type B: 140, 120, 180, 250, 185, 135,172, 145, 165, 195, 175, 90, 155, 160, 162, 165, 180, 170, 166, 168, 150, 152, 140, 150, 200. a) Find out the five number summary for the datasets above. [2 marks] b) Develop box and whisker plot for two types of tomatoes. Which fertilizer the farmer should use to get better yield in future and why? [2 + 2 marks]
Two tomato plants were chosen from two groups of plants grown in different soils. Each sample plant produced 23 tomatoes The mean number of tomatoes for plants in the first soil was $17,$ with a standard deviation of $5 .$ The mean number of tomatoes for plants in the second soil was $18,$ with a standard deviation of $6 .$ Determine which plant, if either, is in the top 16$\%$ of its group.
