The stem-and-leaf plot shows the heights in centimeters of teddy bear sunflowers grown in two different types of soil. soil a soil b 5 9 5 2 1 1 6 3 9 5 1 0 7 0 2 3 6 7 8 2 1 8 3 0 9 key: 9|6 means 69 key: 5|8 means 58 calculate the mean of each data set. calculate the mean absolute deviation (mad) of each data set. which set is more variable? how do you know?

Farmers know that driving heavy equipment on wet soil compresses the soil and injures future crops. here are data on the "penetrability" of the same type of soil at two levels of compression. penetrability is a measure of how much resistance plant roots will meet when they try to grow through the soil. compressed soil 2.85 2.66 3 2.82 2.76 2.81 2.78 3.08 2.94 2.86 3.08 2.82 2.78 2.98 3.00 2.78 2.96 2.90 3.18 3.16 intermediate soil 3.17 3.37 3.1 3.40 3.38 3.14 3.18 3.26 2.96 3.02 3.54 3.36 3.18 3.12 3.86 2.92 3.46 3.44 3.62 4.26 use the data, omitting the high outlier, to give a 95% confidence interval for the decrease in penetrability of compressed soil relative to intermediate soil. compute degrees of freedom using the conservative method. interval: to
