Identifying organisms using a computer. National Science Education Standards recommend that all life science students be exposed to methods of identifying unknown biological specimens. Due to certain limitations of traditional identification methods, biology professors at Slippery Rock University (SRU) developed a computer-aided system for identifying common conifers (deciduous trees) called Confir ID (The American Biology Teacher, May 2010). A sample of 171 life science students were exposed to both a traditional method of identifying conifers and Confir ID and then asked which method they preferred. As a result, 138 students indicated their preference for Confir ID. In order to change the life sciences curriculum at SRU to include Confir ID, the biology department requires that more than 70% of the students prefer the new, computerized method. Should Confir ID be added to the curriculum at SRU? Explain your reasoning.
