Biologists have studied the running ability of the northern quoll, a marsupial indigenous to Australia. In one set of experiments, they studied the maximum speed that quolls could run around a curved path without slipping. One quoll was running at 2.8 m/s around a curve with a radius of 1.6 mm when it started to slip.

What was the coefficient of static friction between the quoll's feet and the ground in this trial?

There is a long-running debate between the Classical School and Keynes regarding the ability of the economy to regain full-employment GDP after a recessionary gap (S>I) has emerged. This is known as the Keynes vs. Classics debate. First, explain why the Classical School believes that the economy will automatically fix this situation, i.e., how/why exactly does it believes full-employment GDP will be restored relatively quickly. Your response should be detailed and focus on 3 particular "prices" in the economy. (Hint:...

Biologists are investigating if their efforts to prevent erosion on the bank of a stream have been working. For this stream, narrow channel width is a good indicator that erosion is not occurring. Test the claim that the mean width of ten locations within the stream is more than 3.7 meters. Show your work. Use a .05 significance level and the following sample data: 3.3       3.3       3.5       4.9       3.5       4.1       4.1       5        7.3       6.2 The sample standard deviation is 1.3. (hint: you need to calculate x-bar) Complete the following...

Marine biologists have noticed that the color of the outermost growth band on a clam tends to be related to the time of the year in which the clam dies. A biologist conducted a small investigation of whether this is true for the species Protothaca staminea. She collected a sample of 125 clam shells from this species and classified them according to the month that the clam died (February or March) and the color of the outermost growth band (clear,...

1. Marine biologists have noticed that the color of the outermost growth band on a clam tends to be related to the time of the year in which the clam dies. A biologist conducted a small investigation of whether this is true for the species Protothaca staminea. She collected a sample of 78 clam shells from the species and classified them according to the month when the clam died and the color of the outermost growth band. The data are...

A researcher has studied subjects’ ability to learn to translate words into Morse code. He has experimented with two treatment conditions: in one condition, the subjects are given massed practice; they spend 6 full hours on the task. In the other condition, subjects are given distributed practice; they also spend 6 hours, but their practice is spread over four days, practicing 2 hours at a time. After the practice, all subjects are given a test message to encode; the dependent...

Many Indigenous peoples in Canada have poorer health when compared to other cultural groups. As such, there is an obligation of health and academic institutions to support research with Indigenous peoples in an attempt to eliminate these health disparities. It is common, however, for Indigenous peoples to have concerns about health research conducted by 'outsiders' in their community. List three potential issues you might encounter when trying to conduct research in an Indigenous community. Choose one of these and include...
