Question:  

Velvetleaf is a particularly annoying weed in cornfields. It produces lots of seeds, and the seeds wait in the soil for years until conditions are right.  Here are counts from 28 plants that came up in a cornfield when no herbicide was used:

2450 2504 2114 1110 2137 8015 1623 1531 2008 1716 721 863 1136 2819 1911 2101 1051 218 1711 164 2228 363 5973 1050 1961 1809 130 880

How many seeds do velvetleaf plants produce?

What is the range ?

Required Information:

mean number of seeds produced = ?

Range = ?

Answer:  

mean = 1867.75

Range = 130 - 8015

Step-by-step explanation:  

The mean number of seeds produced by velvetleaf plants is

mean = (2450+2504+2114+1110+2137+8015+1623+1531+2008+1716+721+863 1136+2819+1911+2101+1051+218+1711+164+2228+363+5973+1050+1961+1809+130+880)/28

mean = 52297/28

mean = 1867.75

To find the range of seeds first arrange the data in ascending order.

130 164  218  363  721  863  880  1050  1051  1110  1136  1531  1623  1711  1716  1809  1911  1961  2008 2101  2114  2137  2228  2450  2504  2819  5973  8015

Therefore, the range of the seeds is

130 to 8015
