Question

a biologist counts the number of rabbits in a population each year and observes a decrease in population. since the coyote population has exploded, the biologist concludes that the coyote population has had a negative impact on the rabbit population. which describes the biologists actions?
o experimentation
o inference
o graphing
o interacting

Explanation:

The biologist made a conclusion (the coyote population has a negative impact on the rabbit population) based on observations (rabbit population decrease and coyote population explosion). This is an inference as it is a logical conclusion drawn from data, not an experiment (no manipulation of variables), not graphing (no visual - data representation), and not interacting (no social - like engagement).

Answer:

B. Inference
