In a large orchard, \(15\pourcent\) of the apples are damaged (\(p = 0.15\)). Three different farmers each pick a random sample of \(n=100\) apples to check for damage.
  • Farmer 1 finds a frequency of \(f_1 = 0.16\).
  • Farmer 2 finds a frequency of \(f_2 = 0.13\).
  • Farmer 3 finds a frequency of \(f_3 = 0.15\).
  1. Why are the frequencies \(f\) different even though the apples come from the same orchard?
  2. Which value (\(p\) or \(f\)) is a constant characteristic of the population?
