Beige and black rabbits were introduced into two meadows. One meadow predominantly consists of volcanic soil and the other predominantly consists of clay soil. Each rabbit was marked with a dot of blue paint and the pad of his foot. The number of rabbits released and recaptured one month later are shown in the table below. Assume the number of rabbits recaptured is a direct reflection of the number of rabbits surviving. Using the data below, what conclusions can you make regarding the color of rabbits and their survival in different soil types? VOLCANIC SOIL # released #recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 137 18 13.1% black rabbits 447 123 27.5% CLAY SOIL # released # recaptures % precentage beige rabbits 393 54 13.1% black rabbits 406 19 4.7%

Mina is testing different types of heat lamps to determine which type is most effective for growing strawberry bushes. She purchases two different types of lamps from a local store. Mina applies brand A to one area of the yard and brand B to another area of the yard, both of which receive full sunlight. She waters the area with brand B daily; she waters the area with brand A every other day. At the end of the study, Mina concludes brand B is more effective in growing strawberry bushes. Mina's conclusion valid? Explain why or why not.

You've been out in the field collecting data on the predation of holly leaves. You collect 200 leaves in total of which 100 leaves contain one mine, 20 leaves contain 2 mines and 30 leaves contain 3 mines. After close examination with your hand lens and dissecting microscope you categorize a total of 15 mines with round holes, 9 mines that were torn open and 27 mines with an irregular hole. After some basic analyses you conclude that the predation rates by blue tits and wasps are: A. 3.7% and 6.5% B. 6% and 10% C. 10% and 6% D. 4% and 6.5%
