Innate behavior, or instinct, is important because there is no risk of an incorrect behavior being learned. They are “hard wired” into the system. On the other hand, learned behaviors, although riskier, are flexible, dynamic, and can be altered.

We would then add to this value all of the other (O−E)2E in the table and then add to get the χ2 In order to find something to compare this number with, we need to calculate the degrees of freedom, or the number of different comparisons that can be made within the table.

A biochemist might examine, for instance, the influence of social and ecological conditions on the release of certain neurotransmitters and hormones, and the effects of such releases on behaviour, e.g.
