Write
a statement that compares whales total calves counted at Gray
Whales Count
at their season's end for the past three years:
REMINDER:
Michael H. Smith of Gray Whales Count says, "Our location
in the Channel puts us in a good position to provide a check
for
Wayne
Perryman's
counting
station
at Piedras
Blancas
(#8).Mr.
Perryman sees more mothers and babies than we do because
of his locale. He also spends more hours per day counting. However,
our sampled numbers should graph in a similar manner." |
Bonus
Challenge: In 2005, Alisa Schulman-Janiger, Director of the
ACS/LA census,
noted that mothers
and calves begin migrating about six weeks after the peak of
northbound non cow/calf whales. Review the ACS-LA data for
this season to answer: Was that true for 2008? Explain.
