Question
The mold Penicillium roqueforti is encouraged to grow in milk curds to produce the blue
spotted and sharp-tasting blue cheeses. When grown on Czapek yeast autolysate agar,
Penicillium roqueforti colonies grow with an average of 40 mm. in diameter. But cultivated on
a malt extract agar, the penicillium colonies are expected to grow bigger. To verify this,
Chatham Lurpak randomly sampled 16 Penicillium roqueforti colonies grown on petri dishes
filled with malt extract agar. The measurements of their diameters (mm.) are as follows:
38.6 39.0 35.2 34.1 32.9 42.4 37.5 52.6
45.9 60.0 29.1 47.7 61.7 41.7 43.5 50.2
