A botanist wants to test the effectiveness of a new plant food (Food A) against a standard one (Food S) on marigolds, She conducts a controlled experiment using two separate garden plots. Food A was used on a random sample of 300 marigold flowers and Food S was used on a separate random sample of 250 marigold flowers. In the group using Food A, 282 marigold flowers successfully bloomed. In the group using Food S, 204 marigold flowers successfully bloomed. If we were to test of a difference existed in this experiment, which parameter would you conduct inference on?
