Question

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%
