Q:

Black perch are ocean fish found on reefs near shore. A graduate student at CSULB is interested in testing whether black perch from two different populations behave differently, on average. In her experiment, she measured routine swimming velocity (to the nearest 0.001 cm/s) for 18 fish from one population, and 21 fish from another. a) Which statistical test would you use to analyze these data?

Accepted Solution

A:
One sample t-testStep-by-step explanation:In this statistical test, you will be able to test if a sample mean, significantly differs from a hypothesized value.Here you can test if the average swimming velocity differs significantly from an identified value in the hypothesis.Then you can conclude whether the group of 18 fish or that of 21 fish has a significantly higher or lower  mean velocity than the one in the hypothesis.Learn MoreStatistical test :: population, velocity, statistical test,average#LearnwithBrainly
