Question

A conservation ecologist is studying Pacific Green Sea Turtles. One population is based on a remote island in the Indo-pacific that has very little tourist or human activity. The other population is on the coast of Australia and deals with more consequences of human activity. The ecologist has taken counts of the number of eggs in each female’s nest at both locations to evaluate the reproductive success. Is there a statistically significant difference between the two populations? What conclusion can you draw from this information? (5 points, 2 for answer, and 3 for showing work)

Answer 1

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, there is a statistically significant difference between the two populations of green sea turtle because the turtle lay eggs on the beaches of the ocean so human presence at the beach damaged eggs and lead to the decrease in population of green sea turtle while on the other hand, there is high population of green sea turtle due to no human presence or activities in the remote Island.
