Question

From Cengage Chapter 2 Problem Set The kangaroo rat, found in the more arid regions of the western and southwestern United States, is almost perfectly adapted to life in the desert. A kangaroo rat can survive without ever drinking any water by getting needed moisture from seeds. It has pouches on the outside of its cheeks, which it uses to carry seeds back to its burrow A researcher is studying spatial memory in kangaroo rats by running the rats through a radial arm maze designed to measure spatial learning and memory. Each rat's score is equivalent to the number of arms of the radial arm maze it investigates. A higher score indicates a rat that is more curious and therefore more spatially intelligent.

Table 1: Scores of Kangaroo Rats Arms Investigated Number of Rats Total Arms Investigated 4

Explanation / Answer

Ans:

As,6 has appeared as once and 8 has apperaed 4 times ,so corresponding frequencies will be 1 and 4 rsepectively.

then multiply f and x:

6*1=6

7*3=21

8*4=32

x f f*x 4 1 4 5 1 5 6 1 6 7 3 21 8 4 32
