Dr. Darwin is investigating the clutch size (number of eggs per nest) of the different turtle species that nest on Eagle Island. He samples the island's nests by drawing a circle with a 100m radius centered at random GPS coordinates, and repeats this process a total of 3 times. For every nest in the sampling zones, he records the species and the number of eggs in the nest. The surface area of the island is 4km2.
The 4 different species of marine turtles that lay eggs on the island are:
The Pacific Green Turtle (PG)
The Pacific Leatherback Turtle (LB)
The Indo-Pacific Hawksbill (IH)
The Olive Ridley Turtle (OR)
The data collected is summarized in the table below.
