Chapter 3: Q. 6 (page 159)

One of nature’s patterns connects the percentage of adult birds in a colony that return from the previous year and the number of new adults that join the colony. Here are data for 13colonies of sparrow-hawks:

Make a scatterplot by hand that shows how the number of new adults relates to the percentage of returning birds.

Short Answer

The scatter plot is:

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Given in the question that the data for 13colonies of sparrow-hawks.

We have to make a scatterplot by hand

02

Explanation

The association between two quantitative variables recorded on the same individuals is depicted by a scatterplot. The horizontal axis displays the values of one variable, while the vertical axis displays the values of the other variable. Each person in the data is represented by a point on the graph.

On the horizontal axis, we can show the Percent return, and on the vertical axis, we may draw the New adults.

The residual plot does not show a random scatter. Describe the pattern you see.

Merlins breeding The percent of an animal species in the wild that survives to breed again is often lower following a successful breeding season. A study of merlins (small falcons) in northern Sweden observed the number of breeding pairs in an isolated area and the percent of males (banded for identification) that returned the next breeding season. Here are data for nine years:

Investigate the relationship between breeding pairs and percent return. Follow the four-step process.

In the chapter-opening Case Study (page 141), the Starnes family arrived at Old Faithful after it had erupted. They wondered how long it would be until the next eruption. Here is a scatterplot that plots the interval between consecutive eruptions of Old Faithful against the duration of the previous eruption, for the month prior to their visit.

What information does the Starnes family need to predict when the next eruption will occur?
