Chapter 15.2, Problem 21E
Do lizards play a role in spreading plant seeds? Some research carried out in South Africa would suggest so (“Dispersal of Namaqua Fig [Ficus cordata cordata] Seeds by the Augrabies Flat Lizard [Platysaurus broadleyi]” Journal of Herpetology [1999]: 328–330). The researchers collected 400 seeds of this particular type of fig, 100 of which were from each treatment: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrax dung, and uneaten figs. They planted these seeds in batches of 5, and for each group of 5 they recorded how many of the seeds germinated. This resulted in 20 observations for each treatment. The treatment
- a. Construct the appropriate ANOVA table, and test the hypothesis that there is no difference between the means for the number of seeds germinating for the four treatments.
- b. Is there evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate, on average, than those eaten and then excreted by birds? Give statistical evidence to support your answer.

Cheek teeth of extinct primates. The characteristics of cheek teeth (e.g., molars) can provide anthropologists with information on the dietary habits of extinct mammals. The cheek teeth of an extinct primate species were the subject of research reported in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Vol. 142, 2010). A total of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls discovered in western Wyoming were analyzed. Researchers recorded the dentary depth of molars (in millimeters) for a sample of 18 cheek teeth extracted from skulls. These depth measurements are listed in the accompanying table. Anthropologists know that the mean dentary depth of molars in an extinct primate species— called Species A—is 15 millimeters. Is there evidence to indicate that the sample of 18 cheek teeth come from some other extinct primate species (i.e., some species other than Species A)?
The data are given below (you will need to put it into a single column). You will need to calculate the sample…
Using all 1991 birth records in the computerized national birth certificate registry compiled by the National
Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), statisticians Traci Clemons and Marcello Pagano found that the birth
weights of babies in the United States are not symmetric ("Are babies normal?" The American Statistician,
Nov 1999, 53:4). However, they also found that when infants born outside of the "typical" 37-43 weeks and
infants born to mothers with a history of diabetes are excluded, the birth weights of the remaining infants
do follow a Normal model with meanp = 3432 g and standard deviation o = 482 g. The following questions
refer to infants born from 37 to 43 weeks whose mothers did not have a history of diabetes.
Compute the z-score of an infant who weighs 3478 g. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

You cross true-breeding lines of tall, purple-flowered pea plants with short, white-flowered pea plants and find that all the F₁ offspring are tall and purple-flowered. When an F₁ is self-pollinated, you get 109 tall, purple: 19 tall, white: 22 short, purple: 10 short, white plants. Your null hypothesis is that the offspring fit a model of two independently-assorting loci, with tall dominant to short and purple dominant to white, and that deviations from the 9:3:3:1 ratio are due to chance.
