She will go to a lake near campus where mallards are quite abundant and will randomly select 10 female ducks. Each duck will be offered two pieces of bread: one plain and one dyed green.The student will write down which piece of bread each duck approaches first. Then she will summarize her information reporting how many ducks approach the green bread first.
