In a wildlife preserve, a random sample of the population of 150 raccoons was caught and weighed. The results, given in pounds, were 17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, 28, 28, 28 and 32. Jean made the inference, "the average weight of the raccoon population is 25 pounds". Is this statement reasonable? Explain.

Use the following information for the question. A group of home gardeners want to test whether the type of soil used to grow heirloom tomatoes has an effect on the number of tomatoes harvested. Gardeners randomly assigned tomato plants to be grown in soil with no fertilizer, commercial plant food, and homemade compost. All other growing conditions were kept the same. Forty plants were assigned to each group. At the end of the growing season the number of tomatoes harvested was counted. Assume that all other conditions for the ANOVA test have been met. One-way ANOVA F=0.762135 P=0.5202354 Factor df-2 SS=710.349206 MS=355.174603 Using the test results provided, test the hypothesis that soil treatment affects the number of tomatoes harvested.
