A farmer plants a new type of corn and wants to quickly determine the yield, or total number of ears of corn, for the crop. He decides to take a simple random sample of the crop. He numbers each plant 1-100 and randomly picks 10
unique numbers. He then counts the number of ears of corn on these 10 plants and multiplies by 100. Which of the
following statements is not true about the sample?
Each plant had an equal chance of being selected.
O The sample of 10 plants was a simple random sample.
O The sample of 10 plants was a census of the corn plants.
O Each sample of 10 had an equal chance of being selected.

The statement which is not true about the sample is;

The sample of 10 plants was a census of the corn plants

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement out of the given statements which is not true about the sample is "The sample of 10 plants was a census of the corn plants"

The 10 unique number corn which the farmer randomly selects of which he then count the number of ears in the corn and multiply by 100 so as to quickly arrive at an estimate of the total number of ears of corn for the crop, without individually counting the ears on each plant from the 100 plants

A census is a counting and individual enumeration procedure to collect and record characteristic information and details of the all the members that make up a given population

Therefore, the farmer is finding an estimate of the number of ears of in the plants rather than taking a census of the ears of corn on each plants in the population of 100 plants
