Collect the Data from the Videos:
Watch each of Emiliano's videos and record your results.
For each of the videos below, use a stop watch to determine how many seconds the vicuna spends vigilant and and how many seconds it spends feeding.
You will need to make a table to write down the seconds each vicuna spends vigilant and feeding. If you need help designing one, here is an example.

Sample Size:
Sample size matters in analyzing data.
Can you determine:- the sample size for each habitat? (Hint: how many vicuna were filmed in each?)
- the total sample size? (Hint: how many vicuna were filmed all together?)
Analyze and Report Your Data:
- Find the average amount of time the five vicuna in the short grass habitat spent vigilant and feeding. Need help?
- Find the average amount of time th the five vicuna in the tall grass habitat spent vigilant and feeding. Need help?
- Display your data in a graph. Need help?
Summarize Your Results:
- Were the feeding and vigilant times different in short and tall vegetation habitats? If they were, how were they different?
- Were your hypothesis and predictions confirmed by by the data?
- What inferences can you make from the data?
- What causes the differences in vicuna behavior?
