A scientist is hoping to compare the mean levels of DDT toxin found in three species of fish in a local river. He randomly samples 50 of each species to use in the analysis. For each fish, he measures the amount of DDT toxin present. Ideally he will be able to rank the species based on the mean level of toxin found in each of the three species. How many factors are present in this study? Choose which one
a. 50
b. 3
c. 1
d. 6

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are being told that:

A scientist is hoping to compare the mean levels of DDT toxin found in three species of fish in a local river.

He randomly samples 50 of each species to use in the analysis.

i.e sample size n = 50

For each fish, he measures the amount of DDT toxin present. The amount of DDT toxin present will be use to rank the species based on the mean level of toxin.

From the information above, we will realize that the factors that are present in this study is just only one and which is the amount of DDT in a Fish because, it is the major focus in this question.

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

miss u!
