QUESTION 2 Into which colony, the first or the second, should this student classify the unknown third colony? In your justification for your decision, include a detailed analysis of the plots (Q1 b) and summaries (Q1 a) obtained in Question 1 as well as a comparative discussion on the general overall shape of the beaks in each group. N.B. you should refer to at least 6 statistical analyses (marked with * in key definitions) plus refer to the graphs. In order to decide on which colony the birds in Colony 3 belonged to, I created statistical summaries and box & whisker plots for each colony (Appendices 1 – 6). I decided to record my findings with these, as the statistical summaries detailed descriptive statistics that would assist me in finding …show more content…
I measured the population standard deviation in order to utilise all my values for a more accurate result, but I also measured using sample standard deviation to create another value that I could use to compare the length and widths within each colony. The population standard deviation for the length and width in Colony 1 were 1.649 mm and 1.679 mm respectively, while the sample standard deviation for the length and width in Colony 1 were 1.691 mm and 1.723 mm. In Colony 2, the population standard deviation for both the length and width were 1.254 mm and 1.757 mm, while the sample standard deviation for both measurements were 1.287 mm and 1.802 mm. In Colony 3, the population standard deviation for both length and width were 1.614 mm and 1.479 …show more content…
The interquartile ranges indicate how spread out the data is, along with the middle 50% of a data set. I calculated the interquartile range in order to display the spread of data in each colony, for the lengths and widths of all beaks. In Colony 1, the IQR for the length and width of beaks were 2.55 mm and 3.1 mm. In Colony 2, the IQR for the lengths and widths were 1.5 mm and 2.5 mm, while in Colony 3, the length and width of the beaks were 2 mm and 2.6 mm. While the IQR for Colony 3’s beak lengths sit in between the IQR for beak lengths in Colony 1 and 2, it is closer to Colony 1. On the contrary, there is a very small disparity of 0.1 mm in the IQR for beak widths in Colony 2 and Colony 3, leading to the assumption that the birds could be from Colony 2. However, due to the overwhelming amount of evidence that proves that the birds of Colony 3 actually belong to Colony 1, this claim can be
He says to understand what these birds are doing and whether this sets them apart from other species, the same experiments need to be carried out, multiple times, on many different species, to properly compare results.
The data suggests Habitat A (close to shore) had a greater species richness in comparison to Habitat B (one meter from shore), whereby the mean scores are 5 ± 1.67 and 4.5 ±1.52 respectively (see Table 1.0). Figure 1.0 compares the distribution of data for both datasets and graphically illustrates the five number summary. Habitat A’s graph has a greater range than Habitat B, whereby 50% of the data from Habitat A obtained a species richness value from 5 to 8. Conversely, 50% of Habitat B’s dataset lies within 4 and 6.
Darwin has listed different names for each bird, they are all variations of Finches, apparently descended from a common ancestor. However, each bird has a different length beak and many are differently shaped to allow them to more efficiently eat the available fodder. Coincidentally, Mr. Darwin failed to catalog specifically where each bird came from and had to ask the ship’s captain to supply this information along with his collection to Mr. Gould for identification and cataloging. An interesting part of the conversation between Mr. Darwin and the ship’s captain is the captain’s argument for the fixity of species, that each one was created by God exactly the way it was, and placed on each island, and that it is heresy to say that they came to be there any other way.
You are about to create a colony in the new world. You need supplies that are fitted for your site and colonist that have what it takes to survive. What do you do? Let me show you. Ella and I have made a colony that if it were to be real, could be able to withstand many challenges that could come. Ella and I planned out a colony that we made sure to stay strong for years. We thought critically on the topics like what types of people we needed and how much of each supplies to get. The three main topics are the site, the people, and the supplies.
1885: Division of Entomology provided grant of $5000 to Ornithologists’ union to determine status of bird distribution and migration (Bolden and
Assignments 1: I developed a hypothesis to predict that the island with the finches with the larger beak will be able to adapt more rapidly to their surrounding and handle the hard seeds of their island verses the island with the finches with the smaller beaks. I left the primary beak size on Darwin
3. The settlement of the colonies was different from what was offered to them and had to find ways how to work with it. There were three types of colonies: Corporate,Royal, Proprietary. Corperate functioned by joint-stock companies. Royal colonies functioned by the authority and the king's government. Proprietary functioned by individuals granted charters of ownership by the king. The Chesapeake Colonies had labor shortages. Landowners observe that there was excelent land but they couldn’t find enough labores. In New England relgion helped settlers from diffuclties they had in Plymouth and Massachusetts. When settlers where dissaponited with the authority of Massachusetts they traveled in search for a better place. They found Connecticut
1.What two factors did you investigate in your procedure, and why did you choose to compare these two factors?
After a long time coming, the 13 colonies: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, finally won their independence against the british government on July 4th 1776. This war of independence made not only political changes for the US but also around the world. After years of tension building up, the first strike for americans to be against britain was when the British government implemented the Stamp Act. This was a tax on all stamps to help reimburse Britain for the land they acquired for the 13 colonies. The colonist weren’t all that thrilled about this tax not only because the tax was high but because they had no representation
1. Describe the purpose and location of the Proclamation Line, and the problems associated with it.
Let’s assume you have taken 1000 samples of size 64 each from a normally distributed population. Calculate the standard deviation of the sample means if the population’s variance is 49.
Refer as needed to the material in Chapters 12 and 13 of the textbook. Keep the following tips in mind as you research data, as well as organize, analyze, interpret, and illustrate these data:
One of its most important characteristics is its beak. The finch adapted to have a thin, long beak to probe through moss, bark and leaves in search of food (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). These finches have the thinnest beak out of the 13 finches; which aids them to find small insects. The Green Warbler finch are mostly found in humid highland forest where their primary food source is found. These adaptations made them more fit to survive on available food. Over the years the finch’s beak has evolved as the bird developed different taste for insects. Another famous adaptation is how they camouflage in their environment. The Green Warbler is restricted to the forest and is greener in body colouration, while the Gray Warbler is found in shrubby, dry thickets and is greyer and duller looking (Certhidea olivacea, 2010). Their coloration helps them camouflage in their own environments, and to hide from predators. Recent studies have found that there are in fact two separate species of the Warbler Finch, the Green Warbler Finch and the Grey Warbler Finch, but are considered as a single species (Wildscreen Arkive, N.D.). The Green Warbler finch mainly occupies larger, inner islands, while the Grey Warbler finch inhabits the smaller, outer islands (Green Warbler Finch,
In the 13 colonies when King James was around, there were average people from England who didn’t like the way they were living and requested to start a colony across the Atlantic. Eventually, there were 13 colonies living happily with religious freedom and harmony. After many ages of growing and new technology like the automobile, the radio, the PC, and the smartphone the 13 colonies are now states and have some of the identical jobs from all those years ago are still part of the modern day economic activities that happen today. Such as syrup and fruit farming in New England, natural gas extraction and manufacturing in the middle colonies, and peanut cultivation in the southern colonies.
The smell of the salt water hangs in the air on a crisp autumn day in the year 1585, as the sounds of waves crashing against the ships on the coast can be heard off in the distant. Sir Walter Raleigh 's explorers Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe steps foot on the sand of the beach of what is now common day Virginia, and breaths in the air of what is the New World.
