could also roam in a closed area around their own house. The houses are grouped in pairs, all chicks in a pair of houses being hatched on the same day. Houses in pairs 3 and 4 contained 675 chicks; the others contained 1350 chicks. In one house in each pair, the chicks had a mature hen present as a ‘mentor’; those in the other house had no mentor. Chicks outside their house were said to be ‘roaming’. Observations were made of the percentage of chicks from each house who were roaming at different ages between 31 days and 56 days. The chicks in different pairs of houses were hatched on different days, so the results may well be influenced by different weather and temperature conditions. It is known that older chicks are more likely to roam. Examine the data below, and report on whether the presence of the mentor influences the number of chicks roaming, and on whether the extent of any influence changes as the chicks grow.
