How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake鈥檚 nest? Researchers randomly assigned newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother. Here are the data on the number of eggs and the number that hatched

(a) Make a two-way table of temperature by outcome (hatched or not). Calculate the proportion of eggs in each group that hatched. The researchers believed that eggs would not hatch in cold water. Do the data support that belief?

(b) Are the differences between the three groups statistically significant? Give appropriate evidence to support your answer

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The two-way table of temperature by the outcome is shown in the table

and yes the data support the belief.

(b) The differences between the three groups are not statistically significant.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

02

Part (a)  Step 2: Explanation

The number of eggs not hatched is the number of eggs decreased by the number of eggs that hatched.

The proportions in each group is the number of eggs divided by the row total given in the last column:

We can see that the fraction is lowest in cold water, confirming the researcher's hypothesis. However, this percentage is still quite high.

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

Observed counts

The expected counts are the row total multiplied by the column total, divided by the sample size187.

The chi-square statistic is the sum of squared deviations (between observed and expected counts) divided by the expected count:

localid="1650643863502" 2=(16-18.6257)218.6257+(11-8.3743)28.3743+(38-38.631)238.631+(18-17.369)217.369+(75-71.7433)271.7433+(29-32.2567)232.2567=1.703

The interval for the P-value can then be in found in table C in the column title which have the X2-value in the corresponding interval in the row with

localid="1650643872824" df=(c-1)(r-1)=(3-1)(2-1)=2

P>0.25

If the P-value is smaller than the significance level, then the null hypothesis is rejected

P>0.05FailtorejectH0

There is not sufficient evidence that there is an association between the variables.

Mars, Inc., reports that their M&M鈥橲 Peanut Chocolate Candies are produced according to the following color distribution: 23% each of blue and orange, 15% each of green and yellow, and 12% each of red and brown. Joey bought a bag of Peanut Chocolate Candies and counted the colors of the candies in his sample: 12 blue, 7 orange, 13 green, 4 yellow, 8 red, and 2 brown.

Birds in the trees Researchers studied the behavior of birds that were searching for seeds and insects in an Oregon forest. In this forest, 54% of the trees were Douglas 铿乺s, 40% were ponderosa pines, and 6% were other types of trees. At a randomly selected time during the day, the researchers observed 156red-breasted nuthatches: 70were seen in Douglas 铿乺s, 79in ponderosa pines, and 7 in other types of trees.2 Do these data suggest that nuthatches prefer particular types of trees when they鈥檙e searching for seeds and insects? Carry out a chi-square goodness-of-铿乼 test to help answer this question.
