The following data was collected by Austrailian researchers and published in the
Australian Journal of Zoology
. The data
shows the nasal width and nasal length of a specific species of male gray kangaroo.
Researchers used this data to determine if a particular kangaroo skull belonged to this species of kangaroo. They found
that kangaroo skulls from other species did not follow this same data trend.
If a kangaroo skull had a nasal length of 630 mm and a nasal width of 235 mm, does it appear that this skull is from this
specific species of male gray kangaroo?
Your response
Correct response
Yes. By looking at the graph we can see if a skull has a nasal
length of 630 mm the nasal width varies between about 200
and 250. Since 235 mm in within this range, the skull is
probably from this species.
