Question

Weeds among the corn 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 for sprouting. How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce? The histogram shows the counts from a random sample of $28$plants that came up in a cornfield

when no herbicide was used. Determine if the Normal/Large Sample condition is met in this context.

Short answer

The condition of normality does not meet.

Step-by-step solution

Given Information

We are given the graph as below:

Explanation

• The distribution shape is left skewed with two outliers.
• It implies distribution is right skewed with outliers.
• Hence, it cannot be normal distribution.
• Therefore, to use$t$distribution, normal distribution is not met.
