An ecоlоgist is studying the nesting preferences оf а migrаtory bird in а protected area. Of the total land area, 10% is open water, 40% is marshland, 30% is scrubland, and 20% is woodland. The expected distribution of nests is proportional to the available acreage of these four different habitats. The ecologist observes 200 nests, finding 12 in open water, 98 in marshland, 55 in scrubland, and 35 in woodland. Do the birds nest according to habitat availability? Sketch a well-labeled side-by-side bar graph that shows both the observed and the expected values for each category of the variable. Use graph paper, if possible. Show all the steps of the Chi-Square goodness of fit test: the null and alternate hypotheses, show the calculations to compute the test statistic, find the P-value (or the critical value), state the decision and explain why that is the correct decision (based either on the P-value or the critical value at the 0.05 level of significance), and write a conclusion in the context of the problem. In other words, explain what the results mean about the distribution of the categorical variable.
