Question

The table shows six random samples from two corn fields that were fertilized with two different types of fertilizers. Based on the

mean of the data sets, which statement is true?
Fertilizer A produced a 5% greater yield
Fertilizer B produced a 5% greater yield
Fertilizer A produced a 24% greater yield
Fertilizer B produced a 24% greater yield

Answer 1

Explanation:

fertilizer b produced a 24% greater yield

mean yield fertilizer a = 20.5

mean yield fertilizer b = 25.5

thus,

25.5 − 20.5

20.5

= 0.2439 ≈ 0.24 or 24%

Answer 2

Answer: D Where B produced 24% greater yield is the Answer.

Explanation:

B produced a 24% greater yield as 24% of 25 = 4

4 is found when we deduct it from B to find A as smaller.

A= 122.90/6=20.48 mean

B =152.1/6 = 25.35 mean
