BSC 340 Exam 3 questions with accurate answers
accuracy Ans✓✓✓ - influenced by having random, representative
samples
- opposite of bias
- are the dots close to the target
adaptive management Ans✓✓✓ - focus on objectives
- model suggests optimal management
- monitor outcome
- update model based on updated information
- goal to refine understanding and management
Akaike's information criteria (AIC) Ans✓✓✓ - balances complexity
and parsimony
= -2ln(likelihood) + 2K
alternative hypothesis (Ha) Ans✓✓✓ says the control and treatment are
different in some way
attribute score Ans✓✓✓ grade on how satisfied you would be with
given outcome
capture heterogeneity Ans✓✓✓ some animals inherently have higher
capture probability
