Definition of Probability• Probability is a way to measure chances that
something will occur in relation to the possible alternatives.
• The Temperature of the water can affect the Probability of Coral Survival (18°C-23°C/74°F-84°F) .The depth of the water where the Coral is found can affect the Coral. The corals are found no deeper than50-70M.The wave action of the waves can affect the Corals. If the coral has no emergence to air. If the Coral does not have access to light the Coral can die.
Variance
• Variance – Two values that are used in Two values that are used in statistics to describe how far away you are statistics to describe how far away you are from the mean.from the mean.
• Variance is different than mean because for Variance is different than mean because for the mean you are finding the average and the mean you are finding the average and the variance is how much variation exists the variance is how much variation exists around the average. around the average.

T-test
• The T-test equation you will use to calculate the T-
statistic is one designed to test whether there is a significant difference
between the means of two independent samples, those
of your treatment (1) and control groups (2).
The T-Test contains the:MeanVariance Probability (Less than 0.05)The number Degree of freedom (DF)
• Since p <.05 we reject the null hypothesis, and accept the alternative hypothesis therefore there is a significant difference in survival rates between beach sites.
• The Chi-Square test can be used to see if there are significant differences data sites or sources.
• Effects On Baby Sea Turtle Hatchlings
Chi-Square Test
Good Effects Bad Effects
No predators are near the beach .
Many Predators eat the eggs of the turtles.
There is no light to make the mama turtle think it’s the moon.
There is a city that has so much lighting .
The beach is a clean beach.
The beach is not a clean beach.
Human do not harm any eggs and protect the beach.
Human destroy the eggs. Ex. Walking on the eggs and driving on the eggs etc.

We cannot reject the null Hypothesis because there is no difference.The t-test gave us 0.268386.
