Problem Statement
The Pale Faced Saki monkeys at the Denver Zoo, Harvey and Isabelle, are uninterested in the enrichments that are currently in their habitat. This has led to the monkeys over grooming each other and themselves to the point where they are balding. In order to halt or lessen the over grooming, the zookeepers are looking for an enrichment that would prolong the monkey’s activity versus them just grooming themselves and each other.
Alternative Hypothesis:
Introduction of the new enrichment will effectively reduce the undesired behavior and promote active behavior.
Null Hypothesis:
Introduction of the new enrichment will not have any effect or will not effectively reduce the undesired behavior and promote active behavior
Introduction of the new enrichment will effectively reduce the undesired behavior and promote active behavior.
Null Hypothesis:
Introduction of the new enrichment will not have any effect or will not effectively reduce the undesired behavior and promote active behavior
Our Goal
Create an enrichment that will keep the monkeys occupied while reducing their excessive grooming habits
