5.31 Python eggs. How is the hatching of water python eggs influenced by the temperature of the snake’s nest? Researchers assigned newly laid eggs to one of three temperatures: hot, neutral, or cold.

The hot condition duplicates the warmth provided by the mother python.

The neutral and cold conditions mimic the mother’s absence. Here are the data on the number of eggs and the number that hatched:18 Cold Neutral Hot Number of eggs 27 56 104 Number hatched 16 38 75

a. Notice that this is not a two-way table! Explain why and how you could use the data to create a two-way table.

b. The researchers anticipated that eggs would hatch less well at cooler temperatures. Do the data support that anticipation? Follow the fourstep process (page 58) in your answer.
