An Agriculture Department study of more than 94 000 samples from more than 20 crops showed that 76 of conventionally grown foods had residues from at least one pesticide Moreover conventionally grown foods were six times as likely to contain multiple pesticides as organic foods Of the organic foods tested 28 had pesticide residues which includes 10 with multiple pesticide residues Compute two estimated probability distributions one for conventional produce and one for organic produce showing the relative frequencies that a randomly selected product has no pesticide residues has residues from a single pesticide and has residues from multiple pesticides Probability distribution for conventionally grown produce No Pesticide Single Pesticide Multiple Pesticide 0 56 X 0 20 X Outcome Probability 0 24 Probability distribution for organic produce No Pesticide Single Pesticide 0 18 Outcome Probability 0 72 Multiple Pesticide 0 10
