How many different options do I have.
In a famous study done in the 1960s two dolphins, Doris and Buzz,
were trained to work together to earn fish. Doris was shown a light
underwater. If the light was on steadily, her partner Buzz on the
other side of the tank needed to press a button on the right for
them to earn fish. If the light was blinking, he needed to press a
button on the left.
At one point in the study, the researcher hung a canvas in the
middle of the tank in such a way that Buzz could not see the light.
After looking at the light, Doris "swam near the curtain and began
to whistle loudly. Shortly after that Buzz whistled back and then
pressed the correct button". (Tintle, Rossman and Chance, MAA
Prep Workshop)
Of course, getting it right once was not enough to convince the
scientists that there was really communication going on. It turned
out, that in 15 out of 16 trials the dolphin pushed the correct
button.
Of course, it is possible that this happened just out of random
chance - that the second dolphin just…

From the circular area, another alley exited straight across from the entrance and turned and ended up in a goal box, which was actually to the right of the circular area. Goal Start Then Tolman wanted to see if the rat had learned the general direction of the goal box where the food was stored (i.e. to the far left, to the far right, etc). So, he blocked the entrance of that "learned" path, but still gave the rat 4 opening paths to reach the goal. However, only one path turned out to be the correct one. Then he gave the rat 32 attempts to reach the goal. He found the rat attempt each pathway from left to right with the following attempts: 4, 5, 8, and 15.arrow_forward

In Plan I, the service connects city A with city B through city C where the rail makes a stop to load or unload passengers. The rail transportation system is assumed to be perfectly symmetrical with respect to direction of travel. PLAN I The link travel times are 2 hours between each pair of cities in both directions. The time it takes to service the train at each node is 0.5 hours. In the alternative Plan II, the train company considers to stop servicing the smaller city C, in order to provide a better level of service for the users in the city A and city B.

- A tortoise challenged a hare to a 100-meter race on a track. The tortoise negotiated a 50-meter head start with the hare. When the race started the hare was running at a constant speed of 2.8 meters per second and the tortoise was crawling at a speed of 0.5 meters per second. (They both maintained these speeds for the entire race.) Our goal is to determine who won the race. Read the above problem statement again, then explain in writing on a sheet of paper how you will determine who won the race. Construct a drawing to represent the 100-meter length of the track. Then place the tortoise and hare's starting points on the track. Define the variable t to represent the number of seconds since the start of the race. Write an expression to represent the Tortoise's distance from the starting line in terms of t. Represent the Hare's distance from the starting line in terms of t.

The company that markets this crank plans a test of five riders who will travel a 100-mile route once with the Powercam and once with a conventional crank.

The times in hours for the five riders are 3. as follows: Rider 1 3 4 5 Powercam 4.4 4.6 4.7 4.8 4.9 Conventional 5.1 5.3 5.1 4.9 5.2 Use a 5% significance level and assume that both population distributions are normal.
