Question: An experiment was conducted to determine the thermal maximum temperature for two different species of ants. Below are 25 random samples from a larger population

  1. An experiment was conducted to determine the thermal maximum temperature for two different species of ants. Below are 25 random samples from a larger population of the two species.
    1. Determine the 95% confidence intervals for each sample mean (i.e. ant species)
    2. Determine the 99% confidence intervals for each sample mean (i.e. ant species)
    3. Make a statement about the thermal maximum for the 95% CI comparing the two ant species

Critical Thermal Maximum (CTM) in oC

For two species of ant.
