BIO 101 QEP_Post Test(rev19)

Q Complete and submit the following assignment: We want to find out if there is a relationship between the salinity of a river and the number of fish present because we know fish can tolerate certain salinities over others. Salinity is a measure of dissolved salts in the water and is measured in parts per thousand (ppt). Therefore, we collected fish at different sites with varying salinities within a stretch of river. For this experiment, the species of the different fish is not important. Here are our results: Site A had a salinity of 15 ppt and we collected 8 fish. Site B had a salinity of 25 ppt and 15 fish. Site C had 2 fish and a salinity of 30 ppt. Site D had 9 fish and a salinity of 20 ppt. Site E had 12 fish and a salinity of 10 ppt. Site F had 3 fish at a salinity of 5 ppt, and the last site had 1 fish at a salinity of 0 ppt. Summarize our results in a table and create a graph representing the results in an Excel spreadsheet. Save your documents and submit your answers as directed by your instructor. 1. Organize the data by salinity and add them into the excel spreadsheet. You may use the space below to draft a table for your data.
