Long ago, many people believed that living things could come from nonliving things. They thought that worms came from wood and that maggots came from decaying meat. This idea was called spontaneous generation. In 1668, an Italian biologist, Francesco Redi, did experiments to prove that maggots did not come from meat. One of his experiments is described below. Redi placed pieces of meat in several jars. He divided the jars into two groups. He covered the first group of jars with fine cloth. He left the second group of jars uncovered. Redi observed the jars for several days. He saw flies on the cloth of the covered jars, and he saw flies laying eggs on the meat in the uncovered jars. Maggots appeared only on the meat in the group of jars left uncovered. What was the variable in his experiment? O Covering one jar and leaving the other uncovered. O Covering both jars. O Leaving both jars uncovered. Killing flies

Suppose you are making a six faces dice. With each of the six faces, you need to put a number 1 to 6 on the faces so that each number is on a distant face. How many different dice can you make? (two dices are considered different if it is impossible to rotate the cube to match one another)
QUESTION 28 A research wants to determine if pre-natal exposure to the hormones in birth control pills alters the sex makeup of midshipman fish populations (which are typically half male and half female). Specifically, the researcher wishes to test the hypothesis that exposure to hormones will increase the number of females in the population. The researcher exposes a group of pregnant midshipman fish to birth control hormones and records the sex of the first 16 offspring birthed. They then observe that 14 are female. Use a sign test and a alpha of .05 to test the indicated hypothesis. What is the critical value? Click Save and Submit to save and submit.

Can people tell the difference between a female nose and a male nose? This research question was examined in an article. Eight Caucasian males and eight Caucasian females posed for nose photos. The article states that none of the volunteers wore nose studs or had prominent nasal hair. Each person placed a black Lycra tube over his or her head in such a way that only the nose protruded through a hole in the material. Photos were then taken from three different angles: front view, three-quarter view, and profile. These photos were shown to a sample of undergraduate students. Each student in the sample was shown one of the nose photos and asked whether it was a photo of a male or a female. The response was then classified as either correct or incorrect. The following table was constructed using summary values reported in the article. Sex ID View Front Profile Three-Quarter Correct 29 26 23 Incorrect 11 14 17 Is there evidence that the proportion of correct sex…
Suppose that we've decided to test Clara, who works at the Psychic Center, to see if she really has psychic abilities. While talking to her on the phone, we'll thoroughly shuffle a standard deck of 52cards (which is made up of 13 hearts, 13 spades, 13 diamonds, and 13 clubs) and draw one card at random. We'll ask Clara to name the suit (heart, spade, diamond, or club) of the card we drew. After getting her guess, we'll return the card to the deck, thoroughly shuffle the deck, draw another card, and get her guess for the suit of this second card. We'll repeat this process until we've drawn a total of 14 cards and gotten her suit guesses for each.Assume that Clara is not clairvoyant, that is, assume that she randomly guesses on each card. Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a) Estimate the number of cards in the sample for which Clara correctly guesses the suit by giving the mean of the relevant distribution (that is, the expectation of…
You are interested in finding out if kangaroo rats that have been offered food ad lib(unlimited food) for the previous 24 hours store a different amount of food in their pouches than kangaroo rats that have been starved for 24 hours. You take 8 kangaroo rats and starve them for 24 hours, then offer them food and count how many seeds are stored in their pouches in the next hour. You let your rats rest for one week, and repeat the experiment with the same rats, but offer them unlimited food for the 24 hours prior to the experiment. Run the appropriate statistical test.
