Question: The following data (from H. E. Wheeler, Amer. J. Bot. 46, 361, 1959) give the numbers of fertile and infertile perithecia from cultures of Glomerella
The following data (from H. E. Wheeler, Amer. J. Bot. 46, 361, 1959) give the numbers of fertile and infertile perithecia from cultures of Glomerella grown in different media: Medium Fertile Infertile Total Oatmeal 179 56 235 Cornmeal 184 19 203 Potato dextrose 161 39 200 Synthetic 176 26 202 Determine whether there is a significant difference between these media in respect to fertility of the perithecia. If there is a significant difference obtain an approximate 95% confidence interval for the proportion of fertile perithecia given by the best medium. Otherwise obtain a similar interval for the pooled results. (Leic. Stat.)
