The data presented in the table below resulted from an experiment in which seeds of 5 different types were planted and the number of seeds that germinated within 5 weeks after planting was recorded for each seed type.

At the .01 level of significance, is the proportion of seeds that germinate dependent on the seed type?

Question 18 options:

No, the proportion of seeds that germinate are not dependent on the seed type because p-value = 0.00205.

No, the proportion of seeds that germinate are not dependent on the seed type because the test value 17.99 is greater than the critical value of 13.28.

Yes, the proportion of seeds that germinate are dependent on the seed type because the test value 17.99 is greater than the critical value of 13.28.

Yes, the proportion of seeds that germinate are dependent on the seed type because p-value = 0.00205.
