Different varieties of the tropical flower Heliconia are fertilized by different species of hummingbirds. Over time, the lengths of the flowers and the form of the hummingbirds' beaks have evolved to match each other. Here are data on the lengths in millimeters of three varieties of these flowers on the island of Dominica. data332.dat

Do a complete analysis that includes description of the data and a significance test to compare the mean lengths of the flowers for the three species. (Round your answers for x to four decimal places, s to three decimal places, and s_(x^^\_) to three decimal places. Round your test statistic to two decimal places. Round your P-value to three decimal places.)

Supply Chain Value

(250 words total) Have you ever heard someone say (or maybe you’ve said it) that if you could just cut out the “middleman” the product would be so much cheaper?

1) When is this true for the consumer?
2) When is this not true for the consumer?
3) How does a supply chain provide value for the consumer?
4) Thinking about a product that you recently have purchased:
A) What is the product?
B) What "route" did it take through the supply chain - in other words, describe (to the best of your ability... you might have to do some critical thinking here) how the item went from manufacturer to you. Please use terms associated with supply chain found in the text or the lecture to detail this path.

  1. Using what you have learned about the neuroscience of mental imagery, briefly describe what is going on in your brain as you use mental imagery to link the words. Is there a difference between what is going on in your brain when you visualize the object compared to actually seeing the object in real life? Explain.

This is the final question on a Link word lab in cognitive psychology

The wind speed in Laramie, Wyoming is normally distributed. The average wind speed for the state of Wyoming is approximately 20 mph. A curious student wanted to find out if the wind speed in Laramie was different than the state average. They took a sample of 25 random days in Laramie, measured the wind speed, and found an average of 18 mph with a standard deviation of 7.8 miles per hour.

Test the claim that the average wind speed in Laramie is less than the state average. Provide all six steps to the hypothesis test, using both a critical value AND a p-value to make your decision about the null.

Provide the confidence interval estimate of the true wind speed in Laramie.

Explain how your hypothesis test in 8_1 and your confidence interval in 8_2 are consistent.

2. Draw out the SAR diagram of the fused ring analysis of the quinazoline scaffold (EGF-R kinase inhibitors) from this section and show all the resulting features

3. In the analysis of different analogues from the quinazoline EGF-R kinase inhibitors a significant difference was shown by the introduction of a second nitrogen atom into the aromatic ring. Draw out the structures and use electron pushing arrows to explain the effect. Note: you may have to consult a chemistry textbook (1st year will do) and/or the attached paper below. Explain also why the most potent analogue resulted.

4. Draw out a SAR diagram of the salicylamide inhibitors of scytalone dehydratase. Point out the dominant feature(s) observed in the section and also all the potential other interactions suggested by the chemical structures.
