- Which test should I use for this problem: A fisheries biologist stocks three different species of sunfish into a pond at an equal rate (500 individuals of each species). She is interested in determining whether catch rates of those fish by anglers differ between the three species. Any person who fishes the pond during the month of June keeps a record of how many fish they caught by each species. Each fish caught is removed from the population (i.e., harvested). Across the entire month, 100 bluegill, 75 green sunfish, and 75 redear sunfish were caught.arrow_forwardThe value for x2 will have an upper tail area of 0.05.
