Question

Animal scientists studied foraging behavior of the scrub lizard, found in central Florida. Foraging is the process of searching for food. To study such behavior, the scientists recorded the number of head movements per minute for a sample of 63 lizards. A 95 percent confidence interval constructed from the sample is given as 2.7±0.62 head movements per minute. Based on the interval, is a claim of 3 head movements per minute plausible?

Answer 1

The answer is "The claim is plausible because 3 head movements per minute are contained within the interval".

Explanation:

The wet-growing process of creation, located in western Florida, is researched by animal researchers. Food production is the process of finding food. The researchers had collected a sampling of 63 lizards with the number of head motions per minute to investigate such behavior. The sample-based confidence interval of 95% is given as hand gestures of 2.7±0.62 per minute. Depending on the interval, a statement of 3 hand gestures is plausible per minute then within the interval, there have been three head motions per minute.
