(a) Forewing length is the average measurement for 10 bees, in mm;
Femur length is the average measurement for 10 bees, in mm;
Fresh weight is the average weight for three groups of 10 bees each, in grams;
Dry weight is the average weight for three groups of 10 bees each, in grams.
(b) The probability a sample is European (PE) = 1-PA.
