A series of lakes were heavily polluted during the 1940’s by industrial waste. Over the past thirty years, they have been treated and restored to the point where scientists believe they could sustain an apex predator population. To test this, they have conducted a program of breeding striped bass in a fishery and then releasing them into the lakes. Below are data for fish released into the lakes before and after environmental remediation.# of Bass Surviving Before (i.e. polluted)467743 550 545 700 990# of Bass Surviving After (i.e. cleaned)8209607005457691001a. Calculate the Mean and Standard Deviation for each condition.b. Based on the data above, what is the p-value and did cleaning the lakes improve survival of the released fish?c. Write a summary sentence about the data above that would go in the Results section of a lab report. Be sure to include the p-value in your sentence.
