Question

In your travels around the Chesapeake Bay region, you have noticed that pink comb jellies (Beroe ovata) do not seem to be distributed evenly throughout the Bay. You suspect that this is because of environmental factors such as salinity, temperature, or the amount of oxygen dissolved in the water. You decide to pick one of these to test.

Research question: Does salinity affect the distribution of pink comb jellies (Beroe ovata) in the Chesapeake Bay?

After doing a little research in the literature, you discover that a common jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) prefers to live in higher salinity waters. (Comb jellies and jellyfish are not closely related, but since they are similar in structure, you hypothesize that they will react similarly to changes in salinity. 

a) Use this data, and sketch a graph by hand that would best fit the data. (think which type of graph would allow standard deviation to be included)

b)  Write an appropriate caption for your graph.
