Researchers at the University of Nebraska are interested in determining the average number of bigtooth maple trees in a 100-mile radius of historical state landmarks in Nebraska. Before collecting data they consult a statistician in their department and ask them if they can perform a one-sample proportion method for inference on the variable of interest or if they should use some other method. What answer do you think the statistical consultant will give? Yes, as long as a random sample is taken and the observations are independent. No, since the variable of interest is not categorical. No, since there is more than one population.
