Q1_1:A Goodness-of-fit test as this tests whether the observed ratio of counts is equal to an expected ratio of counts.
Q1_2:That the population ratio is equal to an expected ratio (1:1) of counts.

Q1_5:Do not reject the null hypothesis that the population male:female ratio is 1:1. There is no evidence to suggest that the ratio of male to female individuals differs from parity.

Q2_5:Statistical - do not reject the null hypothesis that there is no interaction between the modes of dispersal and regeneration. Biological - there is no evidence that the modes of dispersal and regeneration are not independent of one another.

Q3_4:There were substantially more piscivorous fish with more than average proportion of individuals with empty stomachs than would be expected and substantially fewer piscivorous fish with less than average proportion of individuals with empty stomachs than would be expected. Therefore it is mainly the piscivorous fish that are driving the significant association, although there were also more omnivorous fish species with less than average proportion of individuals with empty stomachs than would be expected.
Q4_1:That there is no interaction between the occurance of the two woodlice taxa and the type of soil. That the occurance of the two woodlice species is independent of soil type.

Q4_6:Reject the null hypothesis that there is no interaction between the occurance of the two woodlice taxa and the type of soil. That the occurance of the two woodlice species is dependent of soil type, with Oniscus occuring more than expected on clay soils than expected and Armadilidium occuring less on clay soils than expected.

Q5_5:The LD50 is 16.42. Islands with a perimeter to area ratio of less than 16.42 are expected to have lizards but islands with a perimeter to area ratio of greater than 16.42 are not.
Q5_6:Statistical - reject the null hypothesis thatthe presence/absence of lizards is not related to island perimeter to area ratio. Islands with a small perimeter to area ratio are significantly more likely to have lizards than islands with larger perimeter to area ratios.
Q6_1:That there is no interaction between the presence of dead coolibah trees and the position of quadrats along a transect.
