Suppose a horticulturist measures the aboveground height growth rate of four different ornamental shrub species grown in a<br>greenhouse. The shrubs were grown from a random sample of seeds, and they were all grown in the same soil mixture and in the<br>same size pot. To ensure that any slight differences in the environmental conditions throughout the greenhouse are not<br>confounded with species, she randomizes the location of the pots throughout the greenhouse. The table contains a summary of<br>her data.<br>Population Sample<br>description<br>Sample<br>Sample<br>Population<br>size<br>mean<br>standard deviation<br>1<br>Species 1<br>ni = 20<br>17.153 cm/year<br>SI =<br>2.666 cm/year<br>s2 = 3.605 cm/year<br>S3 = 3.774 cm/year<br>2<br>Species 2<br>n2 = 20<br>X2 — 13.983 сm/year<br>3<br>Species 3<br>n3 = 20<br>x3 = 15.120 cm/year<br>4<br>Species 4<br>n4 = 20<br>X4 =<br>14.328 cm/year<br>S4 = 3.011 cm/year<br>The growth rate distributions of each sample are approximately normal, and the data do not contain outliers.
