Environmental conditions can affect the growth of coral. To study this, a researcher examined a species of coral that is found in
the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. At 12 localities, he determined the average annual calcification rate of coral over a
period of several years and the average annual maximum sea surface temperature during the same period. Calcification rate
affects the growth of coral, with higher rates corresponding to greater growth. The table contains data for these 12 localities.

- A public health researcher is investigating the effectiveness of fluoride in preventing cavities. Two communities are studied, one with a fluoridiated water supply and the second with non-fluoridated water. A random sample of n1 = found that Y1 400 and n2 = = 348 residents in the first community and y2 900 residents are obtained from these two communities, respectively. It was 819 residents in the second community had cavities. Consider modeling these counts by two binomial distributions with the probability of success (presence of cavities) as 71 and 72 for communities with fluoridated and non-fluoridated water supplies, respectively. (i.e. consider the random variables Y Bin(n1, T1) and Y2 ~ Bin(n2, T2).) a. Let P = Y1/n1 and P2 with cavities in each population. Approximate the sampling distributions of P1 and P2. b.

This new procedure is important because, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants, volatile solvents, and chlorinated compounds. The department claims that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.95% accuracy, volatile solvents with 89.70% accuracy, and chlorinated compounds with 99.70% accuracy. If an algal bloom is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. Denote as follows: S = signal, O = organic pollutants, V = volatile solvents, C = chlorinated compounds. If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? (Show complete solution in your answer sheet) O a. P(CIS) = 0.1386 Ob.P(C|S) = 0.1184 OC.

Filbert's friends finally decided to compare the effect of different aged grass compost on Jalapeno pepper plants. Because decomposition is necessary for release of nutrients, the group hypothesized that older grass compost would produce taller pepper plants.Three flats of pepper plants (25 plants/flat) were grown for 5 days. The plants were then fertilized as follows:Flat A: 450 g of three-month-old compostFlat B: 450 g of six-month-old compostFlat C: 0 g of compostThe plants received the same amount of sunlight and water each day. At the end of 30 days the group recorded the height of the plants (cm) and then threw a party featuring Jalapeno peppers stuffed with cream cheese!DV - IV -Control -…arrow_forward
- Special dyes have been developed that only bind to DNA. The intensity of the color is directly related to the quantity of DNA present in the cell. A haploid cell would have a “low” amount of color, a cell in G1 would have a “medium” amount of color, and a cell in M phase would have a “high” amount of color. Is this sort of assessment quantitative, qualitative or semi-quantitative? Justify your reasoning.arrow_forwardPineal Gland Study. Dr. Marquez hypothesized that fluoride had a deleterious effect on the pineal gland, which helps with sleeping. He measured the amount of fluoride in Americans and compared it to the fluoride level in Europeans, where its use in drinking water has been banned. He knew from reading the literature that the average fluoride level in Europeans was 40 parts per million (ppm). He collected a representative sample of 625 Americans and found that their fluoride level was 60 ppm with a standard deviation of 250 ppm.

- People continue to convert forests into farmland with deleterious ecological and climatic impacts. Some countries have shifted from net deforestation to net reforestation. One of the arms of this study intents to show that returning farmland to a more diverse and natural environment can greatly increase soil carbon, and in consequence pump carbon out to the atmosphere. In order to test this hypothesis, 17 plots of 1 hectare were selected throughout New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania Farmers owning the land received compensation for the loss of income when income was lost. The 17 plots were randomized into the control group, Y1 (farmer continue normal farming methods) or a polyculture of maple, birch, spruce, oak, and beech was planted, Y2. After 10 years of culture, the amount of soil carbon was measured as 91= 6.01 Mg/ha s1= .93 n1=9 and 92=.75MG/ha s2=1.24 n2=8. Shapiro Wilks test for Y1 pvalue = 0.12 and Y2 pvalue = 0.07.

Current practice is to add a treatment to the soil to support growth. One of the manufacturers of the treatment chemical has indicated there will be an extremely sharp increase in the price, and you need to determine if it is worth the company’s investment to continue the old protocol. Your data suggests that the average height of a 5-month-old sapling treated with the chemical is 58.2-cm. You collect data on n=19 saplings that have not been treated, and the average height after 5-months is x=56.1 (with a standard deviation of s=5.4). Use a hypothesis test to argue whether or not lack of treatment caused the decline in size. Calculate the P-value for this hypothesis test: P-value: parrow_forwardA clinician interested in agoraphobia (fear of public places) tests a new treatment method.

After 2 months, subjects again reported how many times they ventured (on their own) out of their houses. The data are below. Assess whether there is a significant change in trips outside the home from before to after therapy. a. What are the null and alternative hypotheses? b. What inferential test did you use?
