The average number of kernels on an ear of corn is 800. Suppose a a local farmers co-op used an approved

simulation that predicts the number of kernels of corn per ear of corn in a field in lowa. The farmers wanted

to determine if the corn grown in lowa has more kernels on each cob than the average ear of corn. The table shows

the results of the simulation.

What conclusions can be made about the number of kernels on each ear of corn grown in lowa?

Drag and drop the correct answers into the boxes to complete the statements.

Based on the simulation, most ears of corn have

the average number of kernels.

One could expect about

of ears of corn in another simulation to have more than 800 kernels.
