- question 4 Chen et al. (2000) examined the foraging behaviour of northern elephant seals (Mirounga angustirostris) that breed along the west coast of Mexico and the USA. They attached platform satellite transmitter terminals (PTTs) to 22 male seals and recorded, for each seal, the distance (km) to its main feeding area offshore and the amount of time (days) it spent at the feeding area. The results are presented below: What two null hypotheses are being tested with the output shown above? What statistical conclusions would you draw about these hypotheses? Complete the regression equation by filling in the blanks (to the nearest 3 decimal places). duration = + * distance What is one biological interpretation of this relationship between duration and distance ?

The first survey asked a random sample of 500 men about their use of a natural deodorant. A second survey asked the same questions to a random sample of 550 women. In these two studies, 68% of men and 44% of women stated they were dissatisfied with the effectiveness of natural deodorants. Use these results to answer the following questions about the proportion of men and women's satisfaction with natural deodorants. (Round to the nearest whole person as needed).

In a sample of 30 new mothers, Dr. Wiese measured the duration of their pregnancies (premature, mature, postmature) and the type of opiate that they used during pregnancy (oxycodone, heroin). All participants' babies were then rated on how closely they have met developmental milestones on a scale ranging from 1-10. 1. Identify one of the independent variables. How many levels does this variable have? 2. Identify the other independent variable. How many levels does this variable have? 3.
