Textbook Question
Chapter 3.5, Problem 20E
It is suspected that the high amounts of tannin in mature oak leaves inhibit the growth of the winter moth (Operophtera bromata L. Geometridae) larvae that extensively damage these trees in certain years. The following table lists the average weight of two samples of larvae at times in the first 28 days after birth. The first sample was reared on young oak leaves, whereas the second sample was reared on mature leaves from the same tree.
- Use a natural cubic spline to approximate the average weight curve for each sample.
- Find an approximate maximum average weight for each sample by determining the maximum of the spline.

They are playing a game where they randomly pick a card out of the hat four times, with replacement. Amy thinks that the probability of getting exactly two aces in four picks is equal to the probability of not getting exactly two aces in four picks. Samiha disagrees.
