Question

How do bees recognize flowers? As part of a study of this question, researchers used the following two artificial "flowers"^25: The experiment was conducted as a series of trials on individual bees; each trial consisted of presenting a bee with both flowers and observing which flower it landed on first. (Flower 1 was sometimes on the left and sometimes on the right.) During the "training" trials, flower 1 contained a sucrose solution, and flower 2 did not; thus, the bee was trained to prefer flower 1. During the testing trials, neither flower contained sucrose. In 25 testing trials with a particular bee, the bee chose flower 1 twenty limes and flower 2 five times. Use a goodness-of-fit test to assess the evidence that the bee could remember and distinguish the flower patterns. Use a directional alternative and let alpha = 0.05.
