The length of fish were measured at 3 different lakes. Lake 1: 3.5, 4.2, 6.1, 5.2 Lake 2: 5.1, 6.2, 5.3, 2.1 Lake 3: 5.6, 7.1, 2.4, 4.1, 6.2 Enter the test statistic (to 4 decimal places)

Streams As part of the course work, a class at an upstateNY college collects data on streams each year. Studentsrecord a number of biological, chemical, and physical variables, including the stream name, the substrate of the stream (limestone, shale, or mixed), the pH, the tempera-ture (°C), and the BCI, a measure of biological diversity. a) Name each variable, indicating whether it is categori-cal or quantitative, and giving the units if available. b) These streams have been classified according to theirsubstrate—the composition of soil and rock overwhich they flow—as summarized in the table. Whatkind of graph might be used to display these data?
The length of fish were measured at 3 different lakes. Is there evidence to suggest that the average length is not the same at all 3 locations? Lake 1: 3.5, 4.2, 2.1, 3.2, 1.7 Lake 2: 5.1, 6.2, 5.3,4.1 Lake 3: 5.6, 7.1, 6.4, 7.1, 6.4 What is your conclusion? There is not evidence that the mean length at one of the lakes is different then the others. There is evidence hat the mean length at a least one lake is different then the others.
