Register to read the introduction…

Sharks have been existing on the earth for maybe 450 million years and have evolved and adapted to the new changes in their surroundings in order to survive as the years go/went by. They are known to be loners, as they never travel in groups and they are also known as being intelligent creatures that can communicate with each other and what they eat depends on their environment and the adaptations they had to make in order to survive in that specific habitat. …show more content…

Then I will be looking at the possible outcomes of fluctuations or the numbers increase or decreasing over the next few years. Then trying to find the probability of a shark attack leading to death …show more content…

The mean was found to be approximately 41 or more accurately 40.1538. However, the median was found to be approximately 38. The number of data points in which the median calculated from is 13. The difference between the mean and the median was found to be 3. This difference indicates that the data is skewed towards the upper quartile, meaning if an individual was to guess the number of future attacks they are to gravitate towards the upper quartile of the data that is analyzed. The standard deviation of the data indicates speaks about how the data is distributed. If the standard deviation is small or close to zero (0), this indicates that the data is evenly distributed, this will also reflect the agreement between the median and the mean. However, in the case above, the mean was found to be approximately 41, the median was found to be 38 and lastly the standard deviation found was 8. Speaking to the data range of values, which the data can hold, can range either from a max of approximately 49 to a min of approximately

  • Jersey Shore Shark Attacks

    268 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Jersey Shore shark attacks of 1916 were a series of shark attacks along the coast of New Jersey, in the United States, between July 1 and July 12, 1916, in which four people were killed and one injured. Since 1916, scholars have debated which shark species was responsible and the number of animals involved, with the great white shark and the bull shark most frequently cited. The incidents occurred during a deadly summer heat wave and polio epidemic in the Northeastern United States that drove thousands of people to the seaside resorts of the Jersey Shore. Shark bites on the Atlantic Coast of the United States outside the semitropical states of Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas were rare, but scholars believe that the increased presence

  • Describe And Evaluate Two Definitions Of Abnormality Essay

    707 Words  | 3 Pages

    Describe and evaluate two definitions of abnormality [16 marks] One definition of abnormality comes from statistical infrequency. We typically define what is seen as ‘normal’ by referring to statistical values. For example, from statistical evidence, we can be informed of things such as the average shoe size of 11-year olds, the average age of a first-time mother, and so on. As we can define what is ‘normal’ through statistics, we can also define what is abnormal. For instance, it is seen as abnormal for a first-time mother to be over the age of 40 or under the age of 20.

    I have swum with Caribbean reef sharks in the Bahamas and have seen how beautiful and strong they truly are first hand. Sharks are a vital part to every ecosystem they are in and currently being killed at a rate that they cannot reproduce at. Alpha predators are a necessary component of eco-systems because they keep the populations of every trophic level below them in check. You can compare an eco-system to a skyscraper; you need every single part so the entire building does not fall apart. Sharks have the task of killing the wounded, old, and sick fish in schools to keep the stocks of fish healthy and plentiful.

    Their coloring provides a camouflage to the ocean floor allowing them to hide from their enemies, killer whales and sometimes scuba divers. Hammerheads mostly stay along continental shelves and coastlines, but on occasion they are found in the deep ocean cruising near the surface. Sharks have adapted to living in a wide range of aquatic habitats at various temperatures. While some species inhabit shallow, coastal regions, others live in deep waters, on the ocean floor and in the open ocean.

  • Poison Frog Population Decline

    In the experiment that tested whether leaf litter played a role in poison frog decline, there was ten plots that had no change in leaf litter. The data was fairly consistent until plot number seven appeared to have sixteen frogs in it. This was more than twice of the amount of frogs than any of the other plots with no change in leaf litter. Clearly, this is an outlier in the data and could have thrown off the average amount of strawberry poison dart frogs in leaf litters. If 1,000 frogs had been tested, this outlier would not have made such an impact on the mean.
