Question

A baby dolphin is born into the ocean, which is a fairly cold environmont Water has a high heat conductivity, so the thormal rogulation of a nowbom dolphin is quite important It has been known for a long time that baby dolphins blubber is different in composition and quantity from the blubber of adults. Does this make the babies better protected from the cold compared to adults? One measure of the efectiveness of blubber is ds "conductance". This value as calculated on six newborn dolphins and eight addults dolphirrs (Dunkin et all 2005) The newbon dolphins had an average conductance of 10 44, with a standard error of the mean equal to 0 69. The adult dolphins conductance averaged 8 44, with the standard error of this ostimato equal to 1.03. All measures are given in watts per square meter per degree Celcus Calculate the standard deviation of conductance for the baby dolphin group. Round your answer two decimel places

Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Formula s = SE * sqrt(n)

Given that newborn: x1 = 6 y1 = 10.44 SE1 = 0.69

s1 = 0.69*sqrt(6) = 1.690
