A charity group wants to give away insect-resistant corn seeds to farmers in poor countries. One of the main insects that harms corn crops in these countries is the corn rootworm. To decide which type of corn to give away, the charity group tests 4 types of corn to see which one the corn rootworms like least.

Data from Rootworm Test

(in inches) Pounds per
acre
A 7 yes 8 650
B 4 no 4 2400
C 6 yes 5 1260
D 5 yes 7 450

Some of the farmers receiving the seeds want to grow the corn with the biggest ears because they think this corn will produce the most food per acre. Other farmers think that the tallest plants will produce the most food per acre.
