What are the aims of the study?
1. To quantify the vertical distribution and abundance of biota along a rocky intertidal shore (an environmental gradient)- LOCATION WAS FLINDERS Melbourne australia
2. To explore sampling issues in ecology (by comparing the patterns resulting from two different sampling protocols)

in the files i have attached, in week 3 slides. there should be a format of how the tables should be basically look at the data and pick the dominant one.

How tall must a man be so that we would predict
: Assume that the least-squares line for predicting forearm length (y) from height (x) is y = -0.2967 + 0.2738x . Both forearm length and height are measured in inches in this equation. Predict the forearm length of a man whose height is 70 in.

How much do you predict their tensile strengths to differ
: In a study of the relationship between the Brinell hardness (x) and tensile strength in ksi (y) of specimens of cold drawn copper, the least-squares line was y = -196.32 + 2.42x . Predict the tensile strength of a specimen whose Brinell hardness..

Problem regarding the incubator business
: The new business "incubator" was assigned the 200 numbers between 452-2500 and 452-2699, but these businesses don't subscribe to digital TV. What is the probability that the randomly selected number will be for an incubator business?

Introduction of the belgian euro coin
: Shortly after the introduction of the Belgian euro coin, newspapers around the world published articles claiming the coin is biased. The stories were based on reports that someone had spun the coin 250 times and gotten 140 heads- that's 56% heads.
