Question:

A researcher dissected the retinas of 20 randomly sampled fish belonging to each of two subspecies of guppy in Venezuela. Using a sophisticated
laboratory apparatus, he measured the two groups of fish to find the wavelengths of visible light to which the cones of the retina were most sensitive. The goal was to explore whether fish from the two subspecies differed in the wavelength of light that they were most sensitive to.
