Question 1 (1 point) Energy spent on reproduction constitutes an organism's "reproductive effort". The figure below shows the relationship between reproductive effort (number of cones produced) and growth measured as the relative width of annual rings for the Douglas fir, Pseudotsuga menziei. The line represents the general trend as defined by the equation: y -1.70x+ 107.5; n- 32, 2 0.71, P 0.008. 120 115 110 105 100 95 F 90 85 80 75 0 2 46 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 Mean number of cones per tree (10)Explanation / Answer
Please find the answers below:
Answer 8: Choice B (The scientific notion for the sample size is denoted by the letter 'n', and it can be seen from the information that the value of n is 32)
Answer 9: Choice E (As the slope of the equation gives the value of observed parameter as 107.5, this represents the theoretical value for number of annual rings)
