1. Draw a histogram
2. What type of distribution do your data appear to have?
3. What is your null hypothesis (H0)?
4. What is the alternative hypothesis (HA)?
5. In a complete sentence, describe the above result as you would for a formal scientific paper:
Notes:
Hypothesis: beetles should prefer to parasitize pods with more seeds as that will increase the resources available to their offspring or reduce competition among offspring.
Prediction: If the hypothesis is correct, then multipleseed pods of Palo Verde will have a higher frequency of beetle parasitism than single-seeded pods.
Hypothesis: plants limit the resources available to individual fruits, so that fruits with more seeds don't necessarily get more resources.
Prediction: If the hypothesis is correct, then Palo Verde pods with multiple seeds should have smaller seeds than pods with only one seed.
