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 31 are tall with axial flowers and coloredseeds. Further, suppose a total of 21 plants have white seeds, 4 of them being short and 3having terminal flowers. There are no short plants with terminal flowers, and the totalnumber of short plants is 20. 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…

Answered: In Mendel's genetic experiments many…

Researchers constructed two test sheets, each sheet including 20 photos of the faces of dog–owner pairs taken at a dog lovers' field festival. The 20 sets of dog–owner pairs on the two sheets were equivalent with respect to breed, diversity of appearance, and gender of owners. On the first sheet, the dogs were matched with their owners, while on the second sheet, the dogs and owners were deliberately mismatched. Three experiments were conducted, and in all experiments, subjects were asked to "choose the set of dog–owner pairs that resemble each other, Sheet 1 or Sheet 2," and were simply told the aim of the research was a "survey on dog–owner relationships." In the first experiment, the original sheets were shown to subjects; in the second experiment, just the "mouth region" of the owners was blacked out in all the pictures on both sheets; in the third experiment, just the "eye region" of the owners was blacked out. Subjects were assigned at random to the three experimental groups, and…
Suppose a study investigated the effects of exercise and daily stretching to see how blood pressure was affected. 240 women volunteered to take part in the study. In the study, participants were randomly assigned to one of 3 different exercises plans (Plan A, Plan B, or Plan C) and they were randomly assigned to one of 2 different stretching plans (Plan 1 or Plan 2). a. Identify the subjects. b. Identify the factor(s) and number of level(s) for each. How many treatment groups are there?
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
A researcher is conducting an experimental study on the effect of aspirin on heart attack risk. In order to assign who will receive aspirin and who will receive a placebo, she first divides her study into three age groups (18-29, 30-49, and 50 or older). She then randomly assigns individuals within these age groups to either receive aspirin or the placebo. This is an example of a cluster ?

In a survey, it was found that 80% of adults operate the flusher of toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (a) If 300 adults are randomly selected, how many would we expect to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? (a) We would expect (Type a whole number.) adults to flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot. (b) Would it be unusual to observe 255 adults who flush toilets in public restrooms with their foot? Choose the correct answer below. O A. Yes, because 255 is greater than u + 2o. O B. No, because 255 is greater than u + 20. O C. Yes, because 255 is between u - 20 and u+ 20. O D. No, because 255 is less than u- 20. O E. No, because 255 is between u -20 and u+ 20.
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
An insurance company is thinking about offering discounts on its life insurance policies to nonsmokers. As part of its analysis, the company randomly selects 200 men who are 60 years old and ask them if they smoke at least one pack of cigarettes per day and if they have ever suffered from heart disease. 10 out of the 38 smokers had suffered from some type of heart disease and 12 out of 150 nonsmokers had suffered from some type of heart disease. Can we conclude at the 5% level of significance that smokers have a higher incidence of heart disease than nonsmokers? (Don't hand writing solution)
The information is as follows: Month, Cases of Lyme Disease, Drowning Deaths: Month: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December Cases of Lyme Disease: 3, 2, 2, 4, 5, 12, 22, 13, 6, 5, 4, 1 Drowning Deaths: 0, 1, 2, 1, 2, 9, 15, 5, 6, 3, 3, 1, 0 a) Compute the correlation coefficient for the data. b) Is there a significant linear relationship? c) Do you believe an increase in Lyme disease causes an increase in the number of drownings? d) A “lurking variable” is a variable that influences both of the variables (cases of Lyme disease and number of drownings) in a linear correlation study that is unknown or not accounted for in the study. Name one possible lurking variable that might cause the number of Lyme disease cases and drownings to be correlated.
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…
