Factors contributing to diminishing population


Discuss the below in detail:

Marine biologists in Florida are studying the tiger shark to determine the factors that are contributing to their diminishing population. Adult tiger sharks along the Atlantic Coast of Florida have a mean length of 11.5 feet with a standard deviation of 0.9 foot. Adult tiger sharks along the Gulf coast of Florida have a mean length of 11.9 feet with a standard deviation of 0.6 foot. Tiger shark lengths are normally distributed.

Q1. The biologists need to capture 1 more adult tiger shark at least 13 feet in length for their study. Along which coast will the researchers have a higher probability of capturing the shark they need? Explain your reasoning.

Q2. The biologists need to capture 1 more adult tiger shark less than 10.5 feet in length in order to complete their study. Along which coast will the researchers have a higher probability of capturing the shark they need? Explain your reasoning.
