Consider a Situation in Which a Group of Physiologists Are

question 13

Essay

Consider a situation in which a group of physiologists are studying the sizes of wings in seagulls. They are interested in whether the gulls show asymmetry or symmetry with respect to the wing sizes. They humanely trap (and subsequently release) 14 seagulls, and after measuring the wings they determine that 10 had larger right wings than left wings and 4 had larger left wings than right wings. Use a binomial test and the calculation of 95% confidence intervals to address this question: Is there sufficient evidence to determine whether the population of seagulls is symmetric with respect to their wing sizes or not?
