- In a study, the effects of the mane of a male lion as a signal of quality to mates and rivals was explored. Four life-sized dummies of male lions provided a tool for testing female response to the unfamiliar lions whose manes varied by length (long or short) and color (blonde or dark). The female lions were observed to see whether they approached each of the four life-sized dummies. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. a. Identify the experimental units. Choose the correct answer below. The female lions The male dummies The mane colors The mane lengths Part 2 b. Identify the response variable. Choose the correct answer below. A.

- A certain species of tree has an average life span of 130 years. A researcher has noticed a large number of trees of this species washing up along a beach as driftwood. She takes core samples from 27 of those trees to count the number of rings and measure the widths of the rings. Counting the rings allows the researcher to determine the age of each tree. Her data are displayed in the provided table. 98 79 147 200 130 60 51 127 105 75 120 113 200 190 81 98 160 165 134 62 152 66 68 124 190 159 60 One of her interests is determining if this sample provides evidence that the average age of the driftwood is less than the 130 year life span expected for this type of tree. If the average age is less than 130 years it might suggest that the trees have died from unusual causes, such as invasive beetles or logging. Use technology to create a randomization distribution with at least 1,000 values…arrow_forwardA researcher assessed the effects of a new drug on migraine headaches. One sample of migraine sufferers received a placebo pill (0 milligrams of the drug) every day for a month. A second sample received a 10-mg dose of the drug daily for a month, and a third sample received daily doses of 20-mg. The number of headaches each person had during the month was recorded. The results are summarized in the following table: What is the independent variable (IV)? How many levels do we have for the IV? What is the level of measurement for the IV? What is the DV (remember, the DV is the data)? What is the level of measurement of the DV? What is the best graph to display this data? Explain. Construct a graph (by hand) that incorporates all the information in this table. Looking at your graph, do you think that the new drug treatment really worked. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardA nutritionist randomly divided 15 cyclists into three groups of 5 cyclists each. Cyclists in the first group were given vitamin supplements, which they took with their meals for the next three weeks. The second group was instructed to eat certain types of high-fiber whole grain cereals for the next three weeks. Cyclists in the third group ate the same way they normally eat. After three weeks, each cyclist rode 6 miles, from which the following times were recorded: Vitamin group 15.6 16.4 17.2 15.5 16.3 Fiber group 17.1 16.3 15.8 16.4 16.0 Control group 15.9 17.2 16.4 15.4 16.8 Is the data consistent with the hypothesis that vitamin supplements or fiber cereals do not affect the speed of cyclists?
