Impact of Red Fox Predation on the Sex Ratio of Prairie Mallards

Table 20: Parameters of Distributions Used to Generate Random Variates

Table 20. Parameters of distributions used to generate random variates for use in the predictive model. Parameter values correspond to the standard situation, Case I.

Variable	Mean	Standard deviation	Correlation
PM	200,000	50,000
r₅	0.16	0.01	0.60
r₆	0.10	0.01	0.60
r₉	0.145	0.03	0.60
r₁₀	0.177	0.03	0.60
r₁₁	0.040	0.01	0.60
r₁₂	0.042	0.01	0.60
