Jumping Height
In this experiment, we will be recording the jump height of a cat over fifteen attempts—
first Start by selecting a quiet, familiar, and safe space for your cat to jump. The environment
must be free of distractions and potential hazards. A living room or a bedroom could be ideal.
Make sure the floor is soft enough to cushion any falls and there's enough space for the cat to
move freely.
Then the cat must be motivated to jump using treats or toys, only one can choose to
maintain consistency throughout the process. Accurate recording of each jump is essential,
requiring a marked wall and a high-speed camera. The marked wall allows precise measurement
of the jump's height, while the high-speed camera ensures capturing the entire jump sequence for
analysis. To initiate the experiment, a toy with a feather is introduced. The toy is dangled at the
same height for each recorded attempt, promoting consistent jumps. After each jump, the cat is
given time to rest. This is to ensure that fatigue doesn't affect the results. The rest period should
be long enough for your cat to recover, but not so long that they lose interest in the toy. The cat

The data presented on the graph in Figure 2 shows a steady increasing trend meaning the
height of the jump got higher, showing improvement with each attempt by the cat. The
variability of the data is quite low, meaning while there is a noticeable slight increase in jump
Beef or Chicken
In this experiment, a cat is presented with a bowl of beef or chicken treats in two separate
phases each and it is recorded how many of each treat the cat eats in each phase. Each phase
consists of 3, 15-minute intervals with each treat flavor twice. Therefore, the cat is going to be
presented with each treat bowl twice for 45 minutes each (15-minute intervals) as shown in
Figure 3.
To begin, the cat is placed in a comfortable room with one bowl of beef-flavored treats
with a timer set for 45 minutes. After 15 minutes the number of treats consumed so far is
recorded until 45 minutes is up. The cat can rest for a few hours before being presented with the
chicken-flavored treats, which the process will repeat. This will be done one more time for each
flavor treat so that we have two data sets for each flavor.

Note. By observing the graph, beef seems to be the most favored by the cat.
For Beef 1 and 2 the leveling is presented much higher as opposed to Chicken 1 and 2
which looks more moderate to low. So, it can be concluded that the cat prefers beef-flavored
treats a bit more over chicken flavored. A zero trend seems to be presented in this graph, the
points are up and down showing no clear increase or decrease. The variability is quite high
across the graph given the points are up and down as the flavor of the treats tends to change as
well.
Favorite fruit
In this experiment, a monkey is presented with two types of fruit at the same time for 10
minutes throughout ten trials. The monkey will be presented with a bowl of strawberries and a
bowl of blueberries at the same time for ten minutes at a time. It is then recorded how many
strawberries and blueberries the monkey eats within that time frame. This will happen for ten
First, the monkey will be placed inside a comfortable room to be observed safely. Then
two separate bowls containing the same number of strawberries and blueberries will be placed in
the room with the monkey. Then, a timer for ten minutes will start and at the end of the timer, it

The leveling of strawberries seems to be quite high but it does have a couple of low
points. The blueberries have a moderate to low leveling on the graph. Both berries share a Zero
trend because the data points on the graph do not show an increase or decrease as they are a bit
all over the place. The variability is very high in the strawberry data showing data points going
up and down showing less predictability. The variability for blueberry data is more moderate as
