Basic Math

In the Focus Problem at the beginning of this chapter, a studywas described comparing the hatch ratios of wood duck nestingboxes. Group I nesting boxes were well separated from each otherand well hidden by available brush. There were a total of 495 eggsin group I boxes, of which a field count showed about 268 hatched.Group II nesting boxes were placed in highly visible locations andgrouped closely together. There were a total of 784 eggs in groupII boxes, of which a field count showed about 272 hatched.

(a) Find a point estimate p̂1 forp1, the proportion of eggs that hatch in groupI nest box placements. (Round your answer to three decimalplaces.)
p̂1 =
