Question
A. State the conclusion the researchers should draw from this test
A species of leafcutter ant in southern Brazil (4cromyrmex aspersus) has been observed
to carry cut pieces of leaf tissue with a mean area of 15.3 mm2. These cut pieces of leaves
are used to cultivate a fungus in their underground colonies. Studying a single colony, a
researcher measures 30 cut leaves with a mean area of 17.8 mm with a standard
deviation of 6.5 mm2. Are the cut pieces this colony carries significantly different from
other colonies?
