Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in cornfields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? (Use 90% confidence). Here are counts from 28 plants that came up in a cornfield when no herbicide was used: 2450 2504 2114 1110 2137 8015 1623 1531 2008 1716 721 863 1136 2819 1911 2101 1051 218 1711 164 2228 363 5973 1050 1961 1809 130 880 from to

Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in corn fields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right. The velvetleaf seed beetle feeds on the seeds and might be a natural weed control. Here are the percent of seeds infected for 14 randomly selected velvetleaf plants: Percent Infected 5.2 5.5 6.1 5.7 2.3 0.5 0.7 5.1 4.7 9.3 8.1 7.3 6.6 5.2 For the beetle to be successful at Velvetleaf weed control, they need to infect more than 5.0% of the seeds on average. SD is 2.03 What is the test statistic and p-value?

Problem 4. Velvetleaf is a particular annoying weed in corn fields. It produces lots of seeds and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right to grow. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? A random sample of 26 plants is selected from a corn field where no herbicide was used. Here are the counts: 2450, 2504, 2114, 1110, 2137, 1623, 1531, 2008, 1716, 721, 863, 1136, 2819, 1911, 2101, 1051, 218, 1711, 164, 2228, 363, 1050, 1961, 1809, 130, 880. The sample mean and sample standard deviation are 1,473.4231 and 770.2444, respectively. A probability plot shows that the data follow a normal distribution approximately. Construct a confidence interval for the population mean count of velvetleaf seeds in the corn field.
