Question

1. We want to find out the impact of temperature and honey produced for honey bees. We measure honey production in grams for 10 hives in the ’cold’ environment (in Ireland) and 10 hives in the ’hot’ environment (in Phoenix) over the month of May.

(a) (4pts) What is the population here? What is the sample?

(b) (2pts) Are we able to generalize the sample to the population here?

(c) (4pts) What are the variables here? Are they quantitative or categorical? Which is the response variable and which is the explanatory variable?

(d) (3pts) Is this an observational study, comparative group experiment, or matched pairs experiment? (e) (3pts) Why can’t we claim causation for observational studies?

(f) (3pts) What kind of graph should we use to plot the data?
