Roptrocerus xylophagorum is a parasitoid of bark beetles. To determine what cues these wasps use to find their hosts, researchers placed female wasps in the base of a Y-shaped tube, with a different odor in each arm of the Y, and recorded the number of wasps that entered each arm [SPSB00]. a) In one experiment, one arm of the Y had the odor of bark being eaten by adult beetles, while the other arm of the Y had the odor of bark being eaten by larval beetles. Ten wasps entered the area with the adult beetles, while 17 entered the area with the larval beetles. Calculate a p-value and draw a conclusion. b) In another experiment that compared infested bark with a mixture of infested and uninfested bark, 36 wasps moved towards the infested bark, while only 7 moved towards the mixture. Calculate a p-value and draw a conclusion.
