Use the Following Data for the Next Questions

question 26

Short Answer

Use the following data for the next questions. Scientists, researching large
woody debris (LWD), surveyed the number of LWD pieces from aerial photos
taken annually for the past 35 years at two different sites. Over the 35 years of
photos examined, the first site had a mean number of LWD pieces per hectare per
year (LWD/ha/yr) of 3.7 pieces with a standard deviation of 1.9. The second site
had a mean number of LWD/ha/yr of 4.3 with a standard deviation of 2.4. Assume
a .05 significance level for testing the claim that the mean LWD/ha at the first site
had less than the mean LWD/ha/yr at the second site. Also, assume the two
samples are independent simple random samples selected from normally
distributed populations.
-Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for the claim that the LWD abundance at the first site has a standard deviation different from that at the second site.

Grasp the principles of randomness and representation in sample selection for research.

Familiarize with evolutionary psychology and its perspective on behavior and development.

Understand the role of ethics in balancing the potential harm against the benefits of research.

Understand the scientific goals within the study of human development (describing, explaining, predicting, intervening).
