Question
Isle Royale, an island in Lake Superior, has provided an important study site of wolves and their prey. Of special interest is the study of the number of moose killed by wolves. In the period from 1958 to 1974, there were 296 moose deaths identified as wolf kills. The age distribution of the kills is as follows.
Age of Moose in Years | Number Killed by Wolves |
Calf (0.5 yr) 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20 |
114 54 74 49 5 |
(a) For each age group, compute the probability that a moose in that age group is killed by a wolf. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

(b) Consider all ages in a class equal to the class midpoint. Find the expected age of a moose killed by a wolf and the standard deviation of the ages. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

- A paper described a study that examined whether stress accelerates aging at a cellular level. The accompanying data on a measure of perceived stress (x) and telomere length (y) were read from a scatterplot that appeared in the paper. Telomere length is a measure of cell longevity.

There were 58 flowers from each species in the data set. a) How many cases were included in the data? b) How many numerical variables are included in the data? Indicate what they are, and if they are continuous or discrete.

- The article cited in Exercise 4 also investigated the effects of the factors on glucose consumption (in g/L). A single measurement is provided for each combination of factors (in the article, there was some replication). The results are presented in the following table.

Is it possible to compute an error sum of squares? Explain. Are any of the interactions among the larger effects? If so, which ones? d. Assume that it is known from past experience that the additive model holds. Add the sums of squares for the interactions, and use that result in place of an error sum of squares to test the hypotheses that the main effects are equal to 0. Ъ.
