Your lab has developed a way to quantify the number of wildflower seeds per meter squared in fields.

You have been hired by the South Potomac Gardens to survey their main field = Ripley's Field. Ripley's

field is 100 by 100 meters square.

1. You need to select 30 plots to sample. Each plot will be 1 square meter in size. Explain in 1 or 2

sentences how you could get a truly random sample of 30 plots.

2. Is this an example of survey or an experiment? Explain.

3. You find that the average number of seeds per meter squared in your sample is 157. Make an

statement of inference about this study. Be sure to identify the population.
