Textbook Question
Chapter 5.4, Problem 46E
Food intake of grazing animals is limited by the rate grass can be chewed and swallowed, as well as the rate at which food can be digested. The authors of the paper “What Constrains Daily Intake in Thomson’s Gazelles?” (Ecology [1999]: 2338–2347) observed the grazing activity of captive Thomson’s gazelles. They recorded grazing rate (amount of grass eaten, in grams per minute) and biomass of the grazing area (food density, in grams per square meter).

Heart rate during laughter. Laughter is often called “the best medicine,” since studies have shown that laughter can reduce muscle tension and increase oxygenation of the blood. In the International Journal of Obesity (Jan. 2007), researchers at Vanderbilt University investigated the physiological changes that accompany laughter. Ninety subjects (18–34 years old) watched film clips designed to evoke laughter. During the laughing period, the researchers measured the heart rate (beats per minute) of each subject,
with the following summary results:
Mean = 73.5,
Standard Deviation = 6. n=90 (we can treat this as a large sample and use z)
It is well known that the mean resting heart rate of adults is 71 beats per minute. Based on the research on laughter and heart rate, we would expect subjects to have a higher heart beat rate while laughing.Construct 95% Confidence interval using z value. What is the lower bound of CI?
a) Calculate the value of the test statistic.(z*)
b) If…
The spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula, is an invasive species to the United States that has the potential to do significant agricultural damage. An ecologist is studying the relationship between the size of the female spotted lanternflies and the number of eggs they produce. The data are summarized below.
Length of insect: AVG = 1 inch, SD = 0.15 inchNumber of eggs: AVG = 40 eggs, SD = 5 eggsr = 0.2
Using regression, we can say that the average number of eggs produced by female spotted lanternflies who are 1.1 inch long is closest to...
