5. (-/14 Points) DETAILS PODSTAT6 15.2.021.S. MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER PRACTICE ANOTHER Do lizards play a role in spreading plant seeds? Some research carried out in a country would suggest so. The researchers collected 400 seeds of this particular type of fig, 100 of which were from each treatment: lizard dung, bird dung, rock hyrex dung, and uneaten figs. They planted these seeds in batches of 5, and for each group of 5 they recorded how many of the seeds germinated. This resulted in 20 observations for each treatment. The treatment means and standard deviations are given in the accompanying lable.

The data provide convincing evidence to support the claim that the mean number of seeds germinating is not the same for all four treatments. O Fail to reject Ho. The data do not provide convincing evidence to support the claim that the mean number of seeds germinating is not the same for all four treatments, Reject Ho. The data provide convincing evidence to support the claim that the mean number of seeds germinating is not the same for all four treatments. O Reject Hy. The data de not provide convincing evidence to support the claim that the mean number of seeds germinating is not the same for all four treatments. (b) Is there evidence that seeds esten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate, on average, than those ealen and then excreted by birds? Give statistical evidence to support your answer. Report the 95% T-K interval for Pizzd - Mwird. (Hound your answers to three decimal places.)

The data do not provide convincing evidence to support the claim that the mean number of seeds germinating is not the same for all four treatments. (b) Is there evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate, on average, than those eaten and then excreted by birds? Give statistical evidence to support your answer. Report the 95% T-K interval for Hlizard - Mbird. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) Does the interval provide evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate, on average, than those eaten and then excreted by birds? Since the interval contains zero, we do not have convincing evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate from those eaten and then excreted by birds. Since both endpoints of the interval are positive, we have convincing evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate from those eaten and then excreted by birds. Since the interval contains zero, we have convincing evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate from those eaten and then excreted by birds. Since both endpoints of the interval are negative, we have convincing evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate from those eaten and then excreted by birds. Since both endpoints of the interval are positive, we do not have convincing evidence that seeds eaten and then excreted by lizards germinate at a higher rate from those eaten and then excreted by birds.
