Answer 1

Analyzing the relative frequencies, it is found that:

There is evidence to suggest that the produce is purchased from different farms.

--------------------

• The relative frequency table gives the proportion of products on the grocery store with each amount of pesticide.
• The higher the amount of pesticide, the most toxic it is, which excludes the second option.
• It is normal for products to have a bit of pesticide, but these amounts have to be controled and small, which excludes the third option.
• The differing amount are not because the packages have been tampered, excluding the first option, but because of different formulas used for production, which gives evidence that the products have been purchased from different farms, which means that the fourth option is correct.
