investigation 2 questions:

1. describe the \success\ of the owl population (i.e. how many survived, how long did it take for any to die, etc.)

Explanation:

To analyze the owl population's "success", we examine the "Total owls left" (though the table has empty cells, we use the "Number of mice eaten" and "Total Mice left" context). Initially, there are 4 owls (Owl #1 - 4). By Day 6, some owls start dying (e.g., Owl #1, 2, 3 have 0 mice eaten or crossed - out, Owl #4 has 0 on Day 6 - 7). By Day 10, most owls likely died (few or no owls left, as "Total Mice left" is low). The population starts with 4, owls begin to die around Day 6 - 7, and by Day 10, the survival rate is low (maybe 0 or 1 left). The "success" is poor as most owls don't survive long (die within 6 - 10 days), with initial 4 owls, and mortality starts by Day 6.

Answer:

The owl population starts with 4 owls (Owl #1, #2, #3, #4). Owls begin to die (show signs of mortality, like 0 mice eaten or crossed - out entries) around Day 6 - 7. By Day 10, the population likely has very few or no survivors (indicated by low "Total Mice left" and reduced owl - related activity). Overall, the "success" of the owl population is poor: most owls do not survive for the full 10 - day period, with mortality initiating around Day 6 and the population likely being nearly or completely extinct by Day 10.
