- In a separate study, scientists collected data on 16 different Green tree frog tadpoles living in captivity. The age (days since hatching) and length of each Green tree frog tadpole has been recorded in the Excel file.
- Create a scatter plot showing the age and length of Green tree frog tadpoles with the length as the dependent variable. 2

The scientists produced a box plot of the lengths of wild Green tree frog tadpoles found in the wetlands. It can be found in the Excel file.
- What is the median length of wild Green Tree frog tadpoles found in the wetlands? 1
Insert your answer here |
- A wild Green Tree frog tadpole is in the shortest 25% of wild Green Tree frog tadpoles. What is the shortest it could be and what is the longest it could be? 1
Insert your answer here |
- A wild Green Tree frog tadpole is longer that 75% of wild Green Tree frog tadpoles.
Use your least-squares regression equation from part (d) to predict its age to the nearest day. 1

- Scientists have been recording the prevalence of a specific chemical, Bifenthrin, in the Gwydir Wetlands each year. Their records can be found in the Excel file.
- They know that the prevalence of Bifenthrin is linearly correlated with the prevalence of rotifers, microscopic animals that live in wetlands. They have collected water samples from different wetlands and recorded both the concentration of Bifenthrin and the population density of rotifers. Their results are recorded in the Excel file.
- Use linear regression to predict the population density of rotifers in the Gwydir Wetlands in the year 2025. Give your answer to the nearest integer in rotifers per Litre and show all your working. 4
