Science Q3
Passage 1 · Science Quiz 1

Green anoles and brown anoles (2 species of reptiles) behave differently when the species are together in a habitat than when the species are in separate habitats. Table 1 lists the anole species present in each of 3 habitats (Habitats X, Y, and Z).

Table 1
Habitat Anole species present:
X green only
Y green and brown
Z brown only

Figure 1 shows, for each anole species, the average perching height in a habitat.

Figure 1

A chart shows the average perching height for each species of anole in meters.

Long Description of Figure 1
 
Figure 1
A key indicates that a different shape will be used for each of the following: green anole, brown anole. The horizontal axis is labeled Habitat. The values on this axis are X, Y, Z. The vertical axis is labeled average perching height (m). The values on this axis are 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8.

Table 2 lists the number of times each of Behaviors 1–4Behaviors 1 through 4 was displayed by the anoles in a habitat. Green anoles display Behaviors 1–3Behaviors 1 through 3 only; brown anoles display Behavior 4 only.

Based on Table 3, how many display times were measured for Behavior 5 in Habitat Z?
