A full count of the circles (flowers) reveals that there are 228 in the entire field.
4. How close was your estimate? How
could you improve the accuracy?
5. If the ecologist was being lazy and only
sampled the flowers near the road (Row J).
What would his estimate of the entire field be
based on Row J data? (Show work.)
6. How does this illustrate the importance of
taking a RANDOM sample and not just
picking the convenient location?

The scientific method is a series of steps followed by scientific investigators to answer specific questions about the natural world. it involves making observations, formulating a hypothesis, and conducting scientific experiments.the steps of the scientific method are •observation-the first step of the scientific method involves making an observation about something that interests you•question-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •hypothesis-once you've made your observation, you must formulate a question about what you have observed. •experiment-once you've developed a hypothesis, you must design and conduct an experiment that will test it.•results-the results are where you report what happened in the experiment. •conclusion-the final step of the scientific method is developing a conclusion.i hope that this you : )
