Question

Transcribed Image Text:Cuckoo birds are in the habit of laying their eggs in other birds' nest. The other birds adopt and hatch the
eggs. The lengths (in cm) of cuckoo birds' eggs in the other species nests were measured and are in the
table. Do the data show that the mean length of cuckoo bird's eggs is not all the same when put into
different nests? Test at the 10% level.
