In Mendel's genetic experiments many characteristics of the plants were quantified, such astheir height (tall or short), flower position (axial or terminal), and seed color (colored orwhite). Suppose 100 plants are measured, and 39 are tall with axial flowers and coloredseeds. Further, suppose a total of 29 plants have white seeds, 6 of them being short and 4having terminal flowers. There are no short plants with terminal flowers, and the totalnumber of short plants is 12. What is the probability a randomly selected plant will haveflowers in the terminal position, but will not have white seeds? Round your answer to threedecimal places.

The provided information is as follows:The total number of plants measured is .The total number of…

A psychology lab doing research in dreams has 4 rooms (1,2,3, and 4), each containing 2 beds (A and B). Three pairs of twins are being studied tonight. Each pair of twins will be assigned to one of the four rooms, and then each twin will be assigned a specific bed in the room. How many ways are there to organize the experiment? (i.e. How many ways are there to assign the 6 subjects to rooms and beds if each pair of twins must share the same room?) 24 8 192 48 12

Suppose a researcher is interested in examining the relationship between a person's gender and whether he or she likes the taste of Vegemite (a dark- brown food paste, made from yeast, that is popular in Australia). She collects a sample of n = 10 people and asks them whether they like the taste of Vegemite. The following table summarizes the results. Male Female Does Not Like the Taste of Vegemite 4 1 Likes the Taste of Vegemite 2 3 The researcher wants to calculate the correlation between a person's gender and whether he or she likes the taste of Vegemite. To do so, the researcher first creates a table of the data by converting each variable to a numerical value. She assigns 0 to "male" and 1 to "female." She then assigns 0 to "does not like the taste of Vegemite" and 1 to "likes the taste of Vegemite."
Below are the numbers of patients classified as underweight, normal weight, overweight and obese according to their diabetes status.

A person, Joe, claims to be able to "smell" an illness based on the odor of a person's clothing. Joe is given 12 shirts, each worn by a different person, some of whom had the illness and some of whom did not. The shirts were given to Joe in random order and he had to decide whether each shirt had been worn by an ill patient or by a healthy patient. joe identified 11 of the 12 shirts correctly. If we assume that Joe was just guessing, he would have probability 1/2 of correctly identifying each shirt. Find the probability that Joe would identify AT LEAST 11 shirts correctly by random guessing
In Mendel's genetic experiments many characteristics of the plants were quantified, such as their height (tall or short), flower position (axial or terminal), and seed color (colored or white). Suppose 100 plants are measured, and 31 are tall with axial flowers and colored seeds. Further, suppose a total of 21 plants have white seeds, 4 of them being short and 3 having terminal flowers. There are no short plants with terminal flowers, and the total number of short plants is 20. What is the probability a randomly selected plant will have flowers in the terminal position, but will not have white seeds? Round your answer to three decimal places.
2. A research firm tests the miles per gallon characteristics of three brands of gasoline. Because of different gasoline performance characteristics in different brands of automobiles, five brands of automobiles are selected and treated as blocks in the experiment; that is, each brand of automobile is tested with each type of gasoline.

In a series of studies, Sebastian Deri and his colleagues (2017) asked multiple groups about the number of friend groups they had and how often they attended different social events. They then asked participants how they thought their own numbers compared to other people's: Did participants see themselves as less social, the same as, or more social than others? In the first study, the researchers reported that: "Three hundred four participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk (150 women; Mage = 37.1; 78% White, 10% Black, and 6% Asian) completed a survey in exchange for modest payment" (p. 860). What do the researchers mean by "Amazon's Mechanical Turk" with respect to their sample of participants? O A. An archival data set that already exists and from which researchers can use data O B. An online tool that researchers can use to recruit people to participate in research in exchange for a small payment O C. An e-book sold by Amazon that includes contact information for possible…
