You are interested in estimating the size of the population of squirrels on the UC Davis campus, using mark-recapture methods. You capture 75 squirrels on the lawn at the memorial union and tag them with small ear cuffs, each with a unique ID number. A week later, you return to the lawn and capture 100 squirrels, 19 of which carry an ear cuff. What is your estimate for the size of this population? O -95 O -150 -395 n -575

There was another research effort underway to estimate the squirrel population on the PLU campus. The first trapping effort resulted in 15 individuals being captured, marked and released. The second capture effort resulted in 15 new squirrels being captured and 5 squirrels were recaptured. What is the estimated squirrel population? What are the primary assumptions of the population estimation procedure used in this question?
Dr. I.M. Bright is studying whether digital or real life exhibits at the Greensboro Science Center are preferred by 8-year-old children. Specifically, she will examine whether participants spend more time at the digital animal exhibit or the real animal exhibit. In deciding how to divide children in her sample, she assigns the children who visit in the morning to the digital animal exhibit and the children who visit in the afternoon to the real animal exhibit. She records the amount of active engagement (i.e., time spent) by children at each exhibit. Dr. Bright found that children spent significantly more time in the digital animal exhibit as compared to the real exhibit and therefore concludes that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits. (1) Define the term “research confound.” Does Dr. Bright have any research confounds in her study (and if so, list them)? (2) Is Dr. Bright’s conclusion that 8-year-olds prefer digital exhibits valid? Explain with reference to the appropriate…
