    Purpose The purpose of this lab is to investigate animal behaviors by diving into the world of ethology. There are two ways pill bugs will respond to environmental stimuli: Kinesis (non-directional response) and taxis (directional response). Kinesis occurs when organisms (randomly) move around quickly when they’re unhappy and slowly when they’re happy, which is best demonstrated when one lifts up a rock or other material that the pill bugs are under. In contrast to the simpler response that does not necessarily involve many neurons, taxis is often observed in response to changes in light, heat, moisture, sound, and/or chemicals (odor).…

    What statistics were used to describe the length of labor in this study? Were these appropriate? The SD of the experimental group was 7.78 hours with a mean of 14.63 and was measured in 30 of 32 subjects. The SD of the control group was 7.2 hours with the mean being 12.79 hours, measured in 33 of 35 subjects. Based on the statistical methods to obtain the means, these number look right to me although 12 to 14 hours of labor for an average woman in today’s world is often long thus I would expect the median to actually be lower and wouldn’t necessarily agree that they are appropriate.…

We will continue to expand on the basic inference concepts we’ve studied until we complete the AP Statistics curriculum. Our final weeks of the year will be spent preparing for the AP exam.…
