Answer:

The test statistic for this hypothesis test is - 3.68.

Explanation:

A test statistic is a random variable that is calculated from sample data and used in a hypothesis test. You can use test statistics to determine whether to reject the null hypothesis. The test statistic compares your data with what is expected under the null hypothesis.

Sample proportion = 38/50

= 0.76

Hence,

Test statistic

= \frac{0.76-0.50}{\sqrt{0.50*0.50/50}}

= 3.68

How can the presence of one species benefit another in the same ecosystem
tekilochka [14]

Answer:

The different species present in an ecosystem make the ecosystem balanced.  The species of an ecosystem interact with one another in one form or the other. For example, the presence of a plant species will provide food for the abundant types of herbivores present in an ecosystem. A predator might feed on many types of preys. Hence, the presence of different preys will reduce the chances of a species from becoming wiped out from the ecosystem. Hence, all the organisms in an ecosystem are dependent on another in some way or the other.

What dies survivor ship curve mean? What an easy way to remember what it means?
vredina [299]
Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.

It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.

However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.

So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.
