Batesian mimicry occurs when a non-toxic or harmless organism looks highly similar to an organism that is toxic or venomous. A example is the viceroy butterfly which is harmless, but looks extremely similar to the monarch butterfly, which is toxic and bad- tasting when eaten. As a result of the similarity, the harmless organism may be avoided by predators. Bright colors are often advertisements for toxicity, to alert predators to avoid the animal. Another familiar example are coral and king snakes. Coral snakes have highly toxic venom, but king snakes are harmless. A common means for distinguishing the two is, "red touches yellow, you're a dead fellow. Red touches black, you're okay, Jack." E is the similarity as useful in the extreme reaches of the snakes' range? If king snakes live in areas where predators have little or exposure to coral snakes, they are actually in danger, as their bright colors make them more apparent to predators. Researcher investigated the predation rates on king snakes at varying distances from the boundary of coral snakes' range, to determine whether there was an effect.

The owner of a chain of mini-markets wants to compare the sales performance of two of her stores, Store 1 and Store 2. Sales can vary considerably depending on the day of the week and the season of the year, so she decides to eliminate such effects by making sure to record each store's sales on the same 12 days, chosen at random. She records the sales (in dollars) for each store on these days, as shown in the table below. 5 6 7 Day Store 1 Store 2 1 Difference (Store 1 - Store 2) Send data to calculator ✓ 2 3 786 878 827 645 708 500 699 140 Yes No 4 646 802 712 579 527 367 76 115 66 181 133 8 (a) State the null hypothesis H and the alternative hypothesis H₁.

(Devore: Section 3.2 #15) Many manufacturers have quality control programs that include inspec- tion of incoming materials for defects. Suppose a computer manufacturer receives circuit boards in batches of five. Two boards are selected from each batch of inspection. We can represent possible outcomes of the selection process by pairs. For example, the pair (1,2) represents the selection of boards 1 and 2 for inspection. (a) List the ten different possible outcomes. (b) Suppose that boards 1 and 2 are the only defective boards in a batch. Two boards are to be chosen at random. Define X to be the number of defective boards observed among those inspected. Find the probability distribution (pmf) of X. (c) Let F denote the cdf of X. Determine F(0), F(1) and F(2); then obtain F(x) for all other x.
(Additional information for Questions 24 and 25). Theory of mind (ToM) is known as a social cognitive ability in which children are able to recognize that other's have different desires, beliefs, and emotions that are different from oneself. Child on the autism spectrum tend to acquire this ability later in development than typically developing children. The psychologists wanted to examine if children on different levels of the spectrum vary on whether they are able to pass or fail a theory of mind task. After testing the 100 children they sampled on a Theory of mind task, here's what they found using the three level of AS they identified in the previous section of this section: Pass ToM Fail ToM Low AS 20 24 Middle AS High AS 12 18 10 16
There are several risks and costs associated with the airline's decision to overbook flights. If too many passengers show up, the airline may need to offer incentives for customers to give up their seats, which can be costly. If too few passengers show up, the airline may be forced to fly with empty seats, resulting in lost revenue. Furthermore, overbooking can lead to negative publicity and damage to the airline's reputation if too many customers are bumped from their flights. In terms of strategy, the airline must weigh the potential benefits of overbooking (maximizing revenue by filling as many seats as possible) against the potential risks and costs. The airline may also consider adjusting its overbooking policy based on factors such as the route, time of day, and historical data on no-show rates for specific flights. Overall, effective demand forecasting and capacity planning are crucial for the airline to optimize its operations and profitability while minimizing negative…
subject: Quantitative Analysis For Business Please answer both. Use the image for question 10. 10. A hair stylist used market research to learn that members of different age groups have different preferences for positive and negative advertisements. Research participants could mark their preference for only one of the two ads. The positive ad presented a model with attractive hair supported by a message affirming the decision to schedule hair styling services, whereas the negative ad displayed a model with unattractive hair supported by a message describing the need for hair styling services. Results are shown in the table below: What is the probability of a site visitor either preferring negative ads or being a member of age category B? 6% 62% 56% 68% 93% 11. A hair stylist averaged 21 clients per day over the past several months. Typically four of these clients have been male. What is the probability for the total number of female clients the hair stylist can expect…

A car wash has three different types of washes: basic, classic, and ultimate. Based on records, 45% of customers get the basic wash, 35% get the classic wash, and 20% get the ultimate wash. Some customers also vacuum out their cars after the wash. The car wash records show that 10% of customers who get the basic wash, 25% of customers who get the classic wash, and 60% of customers who get the ultimate wash also vacuum their cars. The probabilities are displayed in the tree diagram.What is the probability that a randomly selected customer purchases the basic or classic car wash if they vacuum their car?A) 0.13B) 0.48C) 0.52D) 0.80
A researcher is interested in the effects of cocaine on learning. A group of rats is randomly assigned to receive either cocaine or a non-harmful saline solution. The rats are taught how to run a maze. The cocaine rats need to be reared away from the control group rats, so they are handled and taught by one experimenter, and the control group rats are handled and taught by another experimenter. The results showed that the control group rats learned how to run the maze more quickly than the cocaine rats. 1. What is the independent variable? 2. What is the dependent variable? 3. What is the confounding? 4. How could the confounding be fixed?
