MATH 201 Statistics for Environmental Professionals ¢ Worksheet 3 Name Ashe scheurtle, Altenct. J Section 1. Suppose that you are a wildlile biologist studying morphological characteristics of sea turtles. ‘Assume that the mean straight carapace length of all adult female loggerhead sea turtles is 98 cmand the standard deviation is 12 cm. You did not know this fact and measured the straight carapace length of famdomly ‘caught 36 female loggerhead sea turtles. Refer to the textbook 7.1. ‘Question 1.

Assume again that you are a wildlife biologist studying morphological characteristics of sea turtles. Now you would like to estimate the population mean of straight carapace length of adult female loggerhead sea turtles. Based on the randomly caught 36 female loggerhead sea turtles, the sample mean is 99 cm and the sample standard deviation is 16 om. Refer to your textbook 8.2. ‘Question I.
