Question

data analysis #7 (10 points) read the passage and analyze the data. use the reading passage, the data shown and your knowledge of biology to answer the questions that follow. honeybees have a very cooperative way of living. scout bees find food, return to the hive, and do the \waggle dance\ to communicate the location of the food source to other bees in the hive. the waggle, represented by the wavy line in the diagram below, indicates the direction of the food source, while the speed of the dance indicates the distance to the food. different species of honeybees use the same basic dance pattern in slightly different ways as shown in the table below 1. from the information provided, use quantitative evidence to support the claim that the giant honeybee does more waggle runs than the indian honeybee when the food source is 2000 ft away. 2. use qualitative evidence to support the claim that the relationship between distance to food source and number of waggle runs is: the greater the distance to the food source, the fewer waggle runs done.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify data for 2000 ft distance

For a 2000 - ft distance, the Giant Honeybee has 4.8 waggle runs in 15 seconds and the Indian Honeybee has 2.8 waggle runs in 15 seconds.

Step2: Compare the values

Since 4.8>2.8, the Giant Honeybee has more waggle runs when the food source is 2000 ft away.

Step3: Analyze qualitative evidence

As the distance to the food source increases from 50 feet (near) to 2000 feet (far) for both species, the number of waggle runs decreases for both the Giant Honeybee (from 10.6 to 4.8) and the Indian Honeybee (from 10.5 to 2.8). This shows that the greater the distance to the food source, the fewer waggle runs are done.

Answer:

1. When the food source is 2000 ft away, the Giant Honeybee has 4.8 waggle runs in 15 seconds and the Indian Honeybee has 2.8 waggle runs in 15 seconds. Since 4.8 > 2.8, the Giant Honeybee does more waggle runs.
2. As the distance to the food source increases from 50 feet to 2000 feet, for the Giant Honeybee the number of waggle runs decreases from 10.6 to 4.8 and for the Indian Honeybee it decreases from 10.5 to 2.8. This qualitative evidence supports the claim that the greater the distance to the food source, the fewer waggle runs are done.
