Self Test


The following exercises are designed to test your recall of concepts introduced in the workbook series Biometry: Statistics for Ecology and Natural Resource Management. They are in the form of multiple choice questions, each with a hyperlink to textual information that will help you answer the question. However, it is important to recognize that committing material to long-term memory is often greatly assisted by recalling that material in an integrated way, rather than just looking it up. For this reason, it is strongly recommended that you attempt the multiple choice questions without recourse to the supporting material, at least in the first instance.

You should also be sure to complete the respective workbook, both theory and practical, before attempting the questions.
