QUESTION:
- During the winter, many species of amphibians and reptiles go into a hibernation-like state called overwintering. They eat little or no food, slow their
metabolism and breathing rate dramatically, and most of their bodily functions shut down. Interestingly, many of these species choose to spend the winter underwater. Why might it be advantageous to overwinter at the bottom of a pond rather than on land? EXPLAIN.

The data may be counts or measurements or lists of species or may take many other forms; however, it is very common that biological data can be represented numerically. Raw data are often too repeti- tive and boring to be appreciated directly. They need to be sta- tistically summarized. The most ordinary way to get started on summarizing data is to enter them in a spreadsheet, such as Excel. Excel also allows one to graph data and do simple analyses. Today and in future labs, you will use Excel in these statistical exercise sections; today we will focus on how to cre- ate and use a spreadsheet. We will start with data gathered by Hollie Putnam, a stu- dent interested in understanding how water temperature af- fected the growth of coral. To determine this, Hollie took cor- als from their native habitat, where the average water tempera- 1 2 3 4 5 Create an Excel file with the data in the lab…arrow_forward
