A biologist is studying a species of small wildflowers. Each plant of this species that she finds, she records whether the plant has flowers, and whether there are any caterpillars on the plant. Her data is shown in the table, where Y means yes and N means no.

After the biologist collects this data, she sees the 5 plants shown below.

Which frequency table summarizes both the biologist's initial data and the additional plants she saw?

I apologize for my mistake. You are correct, the frequency table that summarizes both the biologist's initial data and the additional plants she saw is:
Caterpillar | No Caterpillar
------------|---------------
1 | 5
6 | 7
Thank you for pointing out my error.
To summarize the biologist's initial data and the additional plants she saw, we need to create a frequency table.
A frequency table is a table that displays the count or frequency of values or categories in a dataset. In this case, we want to count the occurrences of plants with flowers and caterpillars.
Looking at the data provided in the table and the additional plants shown, we can create a frequency table that summarizes both. Let's go through each frequency table option:
a) The frequency table in option a does not include the additional plants. It only summarizes the initial data.
b) The frequency table in option b includes the additional plants but does not properly separate the occurrences of flowers and caterpillars for each plant. It simply provides a sum of the occurrences.
c) The frequency table in option c properly separates the occurrences of flowers and caterpillars for each plant, including the additional plants. It shows the count of plants that have flowers and caterpillars separately.
d) The frequency table in option d does not include the additional plants. It only summarizes the initial data.
Considering the requirements to summarize both the initial data and the additional plants, the correct frequency table option would be c: image 66888f70aaa64f6c9d3ff664c2a8ba38.
