One species, the 13-year cicadas (Magicicada), spends five juvenile stages in underground burrows. During the 13 years underground, the cicadas grow from approximately the size of a small ant to nearly the size of an adult cicada. The adult body weights (BW) in grams and wing lengths (WL) in millimeters are given for three different species of these 13-year cicadas in the following table. It is of interest to determine if body weight is a significant predictor of wing length for a 13-year cicada. Considering all assumptions for a parametric test are satisfied, use the obtained jamovi © outputs below to answer the following: Provide an estimate for the correlation coefficient and interpret the relationship existing between the 13-year cicada’s body weight and wing length.arrow_forwardCicadas are flying, plant-eating insects.
