He will count the number of species in 150 acres. Match the strategies to their corresponding sampling techniques. The biologist goes to 15 diverse locations that have 10 acres each and surveys all 10 acres for each of these 15 locations. The biologist goes to his 150 favorite hiking places and looks at an acres along each trail. The biologist classifies the Sierras into 10 different ecological types and then makes sure that the proportion of each ecological type from the sample is the same as the proportion of that of the population. The biologist enters the 15 million acres into a data base and had a computer randomly select 150 of these acres.

A map of the study area was partitioned into four habitat types. The figure below shows these four habitat types. The proportion of total acreage in each of the habitat types was determined for the study area. Using an aerial survey, zebra locations were observed and classified into one of the four habitat types. The results are given in the table below. Proportion of Total Acreage Habitat Туре Number of zebra Observed Expected number of zebra 1 0.340 25 2 0.101 22 3 0.104 30 4 0.455 40 Total 1.000 117 The researchers who are conducting the study expect the number of zebra observed in a habitat type to be proportional to the amount of acreage of that type of habitat. Are the data consistent with this expectation? The critical value is 7.815 with a significance level of 0.05.arrow_forward
