In a study of the spatial distribution of a certain species of plant on the moorland, seven R-distances (point-to-nearest-object), and seven S-distances (object-to-nearest-object) were obtained. These measurements (in centimetres) are given below. Use these data to investigate whether the plants can be regarded as being randomly located in the moorland. You may use either a fixed-level test or a significance test, whichever you prefer. ● ● R-distances 7 13 10 52 25 76 5 S-distances 15 7 32 96 105 52 65 If you use a fixed-level test, then you should use a 5% significance level and state clearly the rejection region for your test. If you carry out a significance test, then you should give an interval within which the p value for the test lies.

To investigate whether the plants can be regarded as being randomly located in the moorland we can use a fixedlevel test called the Nearest Neighbor A... View the full answer
