1. Suppose you are a researcher who is interested in whether young, middle aged, or old meerkats are more influenced by temperature. You get 5 young, 5 middle aged, and 5 old meerkats to all dig burrows in cold, medium, and hot temperatures. You record their digging distances (in yards) and obtain the following data.
