ag (1028) - Lettuce: population & samples

today we graphed frequency distribution. other than that.. we talked abotu population & samples.. not much though.

we talked about what techniques we would do for random sample picking in a 1ha bit of land filled with lettuce (noones crazy enough to weigh them all -.-) so..

we suggested quadrat throwing, or going along diagonals, or a zigzag pattern. i cant recall anymore.. but tahts all pretty much. oh and walking a set number of paces, keeping consistent, and if bothered, having scaled maps of the paddock and to pick randomly from squares there.
