A study was conducted in the tidal flat at Polka Point, North Stradbroke Island to examine the distribution of the animals that live with the seagrass Sargassum at different distances from the shoreline. Samples of Sargassum were taken at 5, 10, 15 m from the shore and these were examined for amphipods and isopods. The observations are recorded below. Is the distribution of each of the organisms with regards to the shore the same at all three distances? Use the data below to test the hypothesis at the p < 0.05 level. Clearly state the hypotheses and interpret the results. (Note: Find chi-square for each individual column (amphipods and isopods, not the two together) Distance Amphipods Isopods 5 2 7 10 31 14 15 45 22
