Crossbill Finches Have Beaks That Overlap with the Top Beak

Question 38

Multiple Choice

Crossbill finches have beaks that overlap with the top beak to one side or the other of the lower beak. Most populations have 50:50 ratios of "right-handed" and "left-handed" beaks, and the handedness of the beaks is thought to be randomly determined, so we expect to see equal numbers of right-beak and left-beak finches. Consider a survey of 140 crossbill finches, which reveals 82 with right beaks and 58 with left beaks. What is the P-value of a two-sided binomial test using the normal distribution to approximate the binomial?


A) 0.026
B) 0.052
C) 0.078
D) 0.104
