Quacker, Quacker, Quacker. Suppose you had the job of shooting the photograph for the next Quacked Wheat box, and the picture was to be one of you holding a Quacked Wheat box. Of course, the picture on the Quacked Wheat box you are holding should be of you holding a Quacked Wheat box, and so on. Suppose you have a camera but no mirror; however, you do have a photocopier that can reduce images to any size. How can you create the picture for the box?

- Donna wants to grow corn on the farm she just bought. The previous farmer grew corn for several decades and kept detailed records of his crop production each year. These records include the amount of sunlight, the amount of rain, the average yield, and other such figures. In an effort to help Donna out, the previous farmer compares his records of using two popular fertilizers: Earthy and SunX. He pulls his records for the 7 seasons he used Earthy on his corn and the records for the 7 seasons that he used SunX on his corn. He uses these records to compare the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used Earthy to the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used SunX. If applicable, he will recommend the better fertilizer to Donna. (a)First choose whether the procedure described above is an observational study or a designed experiment. Then further categorize the procedure by choosing the correct type of observational study or designed experiment. Observational study Designed…arrow_forwardQuestion 4 Doug was the friend that told Phil (from Question 1) that he drinks too much coffee. It turns out that Doug might be a bit of a hypocrite, since he also likes to drink lots of coffee. Not only that, Doug also likes to drink a caffeinated sports drink called "SportsCaf". Though to be fair, coffee and SportsCaf are the only caffeinated drinks that Doug consumes. After some self reflection, Doug thinks that the relationship between the number of coffees he drinks (Y) and the number of SportsCaf drinks he drinks (X) in any given week can be described by the joint probability distribution below. He's also pretty confident that his pattern of consumption of caffeinated drinks is independent from week to week. A. B.

There are five hunting cabins on a lake. Each cabin is a different color, and is inhabited by a man of a different nationality, each drinking a different kind of soft drink, firing a different kind of shotgun shell and shooting a different duck. The cabins are in the following order from left to right: yellow, blue, red, brown and green. 3. The Englishman lives in the red cabin. 4. The Canadian shoots only Bluebill ducks. 5. Pepsi is drink of choice in the green cabin. 6. The American drinks Coke. 7. The hunter who uses Winchester shells shoots Mallard ducks. 8. Remington shells are shot by the man in the yellow cabin. 9. The drink of choice in the middle cabin is Dr. Pepper. 10. The Norwegian lives in the first cabin on the left. 11. The man who buys Federal shells lives in the cabin next to the cabin of the man who shoots Redhead ducks. 12. Remington shells are used in the cabin next to the cabin where the man lives who shoots Canvasback ducks. The Problem:…arrow_forward

She selects several bottles of a highly rated cabernet sauvignon (a red wine) costing over $100 per bottle and several bottles of a good cabernet sauvignon costing $12. Subjects will taste a glass of wine without knowing whether it is the expensive or inexpensive wine. This is the treatment. They will then be asked to estimate how much the wine cost. This is the response variable. Outline a completely randomized design to compare the cost estimates for the two treatments. Twenty subjects are available. Group 1 Treatment 1 10 subjects expensive wine Compare Price estimate Random assignment Treatment 2 A Grouo 2 10 subjects inexpensive wine Group 1 10 subjects - expensive wine Random assignment Compare price estimates Group 2 10 subjects - inexpensive wine Treatment 1 Group 1 20 subjects expensive wine Compare Price estimate…arrow_forwardA 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. Write a formula to represent the distance, d (in meters), that the tortoise is ahead of the hare in…arrow_forward
