Season 1: Zeno: #Black= 2 #Pink = 6 #White= 12
Season 1: Xeno: #Black = 9 #Pink= 3 #White= 8
Season 2: Zeno: #Black = 1 #Pink= 7 #White= 12
Season 2: Xeno: #Black = 5 #Pink= 9 #White= 6
To compare the counts of colors across seasons for Zeno and Xeno, we can summarize the data in a table as follows:
| | Season 1 | Season 2 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Zeno | B: 2 | B: 1 |
| | P: 6 | P: 7 |
| | W: 12 | W: 12 |
|----------|----------|----------|
| Xeno | B: 9 | B: 5 |
| | P: 3 | P: 9 |
| | W: 8 | W: 6 |
Taking a closer look at the data, we can see that:
- Zeno had more black (#Black) beads in Season 1 compared to Season 2 (2 > 1).
- Xeno had more black (#Black) beads in Season 1 compared to Season 2 (9 > 5).
- Zeno had more pink (#Pink) beads in Season 2 compared to Season 1 (7 > 6).
- Xeno had more pink (#Pink) beads in Season 2 compared to Season 1 (9 > 3).
- The count of white (#White) beads remained the same for both Zeno and Xeno between Season 1 and Season 2 (12 = 12 for Zeno, 8 = 6 for Xeno).
These comparisons highlight the changes and consistencies in the counts of colors across the two seasons for Zeno and Xeno.
Which type of data have you collected (discrete or continuous)?
Discrete data: data that can be put into categories
Continuous data: data set in which every point on the line is meaningful

How do you know?
Based on the given information, the data collected in this case is discrete data. This is because the counts of the colors (black, pink, and white) are provided as specific numbers (#Black = 2, #Pink = 6, #White = 12, etc.) and can be categorized into separate groups or categories. Discrete data consists of individual values that cannot be subdivided further and are often represented by whole numbers or counts.
Be sure to type the names of the two organisms in the appropriate boxes.
Each bean color represents a type of food source. You MUST have 20 of each color! You will set your timer for 1 minute.
1 minute represents the length of the season
During the 1 minute season, you will use your tool (representing your first organism) to pick up as many beans as possible.
At the end of the season, sort your beans and type the number of the bean color in the appropriate box for that season. For example, during Season 1, organism 1 was able to gather 3 black beans, 4, pink beans, and 5 white beans.
Repeat this process for the second organism for Season 1; and then start over and repeat the process again for both organisms for Season 2.
At the end of 4 minutes you should have all 6 boxes filled out, in addition to the names of your two organisms.
