How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake's nest? Researchers randomly assigned
newly laid eggs to one of three water temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold. Hot duplicates the extra warmth provided by the mother
python, and cold duplicates the absence of the mother.
The table shows the result of the experiment.
The researchers will use a chi-square test for homogeneity to analyze the findings.
