Assignment #
For each of the following five experiments, analyze the data in R using regression (the lm function). Then, as
we have done in previous labs, write a sentence
describing your results as it might appear in a published scientific article. Be
sure to include the estimate of the slope, r^2, and
p-value.
State
DataSet #1 - Relationship between prey density (X; prey/ha) and predation rate (Y; prey killed per predator per day)
DataSet #2 - Relationship between tree basal area (Y; m2) and stand age (X; years)
DataSet #3 - Relationship between prey density (prey/hectare; Y) and predator density (predators/hectare; X)
DataSet #4 - Relationship between road density (X; roads/km2) and probability of habitat use by wolves (Y; %)
DataSet #5 - Relationship between prey density (X; prey/hectare) and litter size in coyotes (pups; Y). Note that the continuous Y assumption has been violated. But what OTHER assumption has been violated?
