Less likely
About equally likely to see a decrease in mealybug infection compared to areas where wasps are not introduced

Answer 1

Which of the following hypothetical situations correctly tests the prediction listed above and includes both an experimental group and a control group?
A
B
C

Answer 2

If the hypothesis is accurate, the prediction would be that areas where the wasps are introduced are more likely to see a decrease in mealybug infection compared to areas where wasps are not introduced.

Answer 3

To effectively test the prediction, the experiment should have an experimental group (where the wasps are introduced) and a control group (where the wasps are not introduced). Among the options given, option B is the only one that includes both an experimental and a control group.
