The data presented in the table below resulted from anexperiment in which seeds of 4 different types were planted and thenumber of seeds that germinated within 4 weeks after planting wasrecorded for each seed type.
At the .05 level of significance, is the proportion of seedsthat germinate dependent on the seed type?
Seed Type | | Observed Frequencies |
| Germinated | Failed to Germinate |
1 | 39 | 9 |
2 | 54 | 34 |
3 | 88 | 63 |
4 | 57 | 42 |
- A.
No, the proportion of seeds that germinate are not dependent onthe seed type because the p-value = 0.0132.
- B.
No, the proportion of seeds that germinate are not dependent onthe seed type because the p-value = 0.0265.
- C.
Yes, the proportion of seeds that germinate dependent on theseed type because the p-value = 0.0265.
- D.
Yes, the proportion of seeds that germinate dependent on theseed type because the p-value = 0.0132.
