Crop rotation is the practice of planting dissimilar crops sequentially in one location to avoid the depletion of nutrients. A researcher conducted an experiment with soybeans: they used crop rotation on 12 plots and left another 12 with no rotation. (I) The researcher attaches particular importance to the reliability of the harvest as well as the actual harvest. Set out two descriptive statistics that could be useful to capture reliability. (ii) Below are the number of pounds of soybeans harvested from each plot. Draw a boxplot to explain the data and explore any differences between the two plots. (Do not carry out formal tests or confidence intervals.) Crop rotation: 37, 42, 44, 46, 41, 39, 29, 31, 37, 41, 42, 45 No rotation: 29, 35, 34, 27, 31, 36, 41, 40, 37, 29, 31, 36
