Ans: (d) Food Chain length is dependent upon productivity.
The productivity space hypothesis states that the length of the food chain is directly dependent on two factors – the size of the ecosystem and a measure of productivity. Option B may seem correct but it is inverted and the hypothesis says that the food chain length is dependent on ecosystem size and not the other way around

A fast food chain has been accused of trying to save money by reducing the number of fries in your order when you purchase them in big size. As a stat 2 student, you’re prepared to test these allegations. The parameter you are interested in is: d = avgregular − avgbig where avgregular is the average number of fries in a regular order, and avgbig is the average number of fries in a big-size order. Your null hypothesis is that...
