As our planet warms, the change in temperature will have major effects on life. One of the possibilities for what might happen to a species is that species can move closer to the poles so that it experienced temperatures closer to what it has experienced in the past. A recent study of the range of limits of European butterflies found that, of 24 species that had changed their ranges in the last 100 years, 22 of them had moved further north and only two had moved further south. Assume that these 24 species are a random sample of butterfly species. Conduct a binomial test to test the hypothesis that the fraction of butterfly species moving north is different from the fraction moving south.   

 

 

1.     Write the null and alternative hypothesis for the binomial test. (hint: null hypothesis is that the chance of species moving north or south is the same)

 

 

 

2.     What is the observed value for the test statistics of the binomial test? (hint: it’s he number of species changing their locations)

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.     List all possible outcomes in which the number of butterfly species moving north is greater than the 22 observed.

    Psychologists question the importance of biodiversity on the psychological health of humans in urban areas. Urban residents often visit green spaces such as parks within urban environments. Fuller et al., conducted a study on 15 different green spaces to determine the impacts of green space on people's psychological health. To assess how much people liked the green space, scientists had participants fill out a survey to determine their attachment to the green space. Scientists then then quantified the biodiversity of...

    00 Usman Haruna: Attempt 1 Use the following information for problems 9 16: Atrazine is a herbicide that selectively controls several species of weeds without harming crops. It is widely used on corn in the Gallatin Valley. If the atrazine concentration is too high, the herbicide has the potential to cause weight loss, cardiovascular damage, retinal and some muscle degeneration, and mammary tumors. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) researchers measured atrazine concentrations (in mg/L) in both June and September at a...
