Question

(b) Based on the summary statistics, would it be more likely to obtain a yield

of 123 or more bushels per acre from a plot of GM corn or a plot of regular
corn? Justify your answer.

Answer 1

Answer: yes, GM is expected to provide performance greater than 123

Explanation:

b) It is expected that the GM achieves a performance greater than 123. This situation occurs because 123 is less than the average for GM but is greater than the average for Regular. Thus we observe that P (performance> 123 | GM)> 0.5 and P (performance> 123 | Regular) <0.5
