31.3% is the probability that a randomly selected female tortoise is a Morafka tortoise.
- C.
19.2% is the probability that a randomly selected Morafka tortoise is a female tortoise.
- D.
19.2% is the probability that a randomly selected female tortoise is a Morafka tortoise.

- 2.Which of the following is not an advantage of stratified random sampling over simple random sampling?
- A.
When done correctly, a stratified random sampling process has less variability from sample to sample than a simple random sample.
- B.
When done correctly, a stratified random sample can provide, with a smaller sample size, an estimate that is just as reliable as that of a simple random sample with a larger sample size.
- C.
A stratified random sample provides information about each stratum in the population as well as an estimate for the population as a whole, and a simple random sample does not.
- D.
When done correctly, a stratified random sample is less biased than a simple random sample.
- E.
When done correctly, a stratified random sample can provide a more reliable estimate than a simple random sample using the same sample size.

![Researchers wish to test how rangelands growth is affected by wildfire. A very large open area is divided into 28 equally sized plots and subjected to a controlled burn. One year later, the researchers calculate the percentage of grass returned in each plot after the fire damage. The average percentage return for these 28 plots was 58.5% with a standard deviation of 6.5%. Which of the following represents a 95% confidence interval to estimate the average proportion of grass return one year after fire? - ProProfs]( "Researchers wish to test how rangelands growth is affected by wildfire.
