3.32 Using GIS to identify mint field conditions.

A Geographic Information System (GIS) is to be used to distinguish different conditions in mint fields. Ground observations will be used to classify regions of each field as either healthy mint, diseased mint, or weed-infested mint. The GIS divides mint-growing areas into regions called pixels. An experimental area contains 200 pixels. For a random sample of 30 pixels, ground measurements will be made to determine the status of the mint, and these observations will be compared with information obtained by the GIS. Select the random sample. If you use Table B, start at line 152 and choose only the first six pixels in the sample.
