Please answered these three questions in a detailed manner.

Consider the following data on distances traveled by 100 people to visit the local park.

Expand and construct the table adding columns for relative frequency and cumulative relative frequency. Then plot Histogram, Frequency Polygon and Ogive Curve.

A thin circular sheet of glass with a diameter 5 meters is rubbed with a cloth on one surface and becomes charged uniformly. A chloride ion (a chlorine atom which has gained one extra electron) passes near the glass sheet. When the chloride ion is near the center of the sheet, at a location 0.8 mm from the sheet, it experiences an electric force of 8e-15 N, toward the glass sheet. In this problem, use the value ε₀ = 8.85e-12 C²/(N·m²)

How much charge is on the surface of the glass disk? (give amount, including sign, and correct units)

Farmers would like to know the amount of sunshine in given locations they may buy land. They hypothesize that a place near the coast may have different cloud cover than a place further from the coast at the same latitude so that the sun angles are the same.   In the data sheet you have daily noontime reports of the fraction of cloud cover near the coast and inland. Justify your acceptance or rejection of the hypothesis using these numbers, and state the confidence level you would use.

(Data)

Cld cover coast: ,71,26,100,16,100,83,61,32,84,15

Cld cover inland: ,60,9,6,29,12,19,21,62,82,0,4,84,51,4,19

Strain gauges are placed at two locations on a wing that is being tested in a wind tunnel. The first gauge is near the fixed base of the wing and the other gauge is near the free wing tip. Two tests are performed: (a) the wing vibration is recorded for low velocity laminar flow and (b) for high velocity turbulent flow. For each of these tests, discuss the following: (i) Describe and compare the time histories you would expect to see recorded by each strain gauge; (ii) Discuss the type of cross-correlation you would expect between X 1 and X 2, the locations of the gauges.

A promoter is ______.

Which of the following statements best describes the promoter of a protein-coding gene?

Test 1: Blind spot determination

1. Take a piece of paper or index card and make an “X” and a large dot about 3 inches apart. Hold it at arm’s length from your face (the X should be on the left, the ● on the right)
2. Close your left eye.
3. Focus your right eye on the “X”
4. Slowly move the card toward your eye until the ● disappears, at this point stop moving the card and hold steady.
5. Measure the distance from the card to your eye. Answer the following questions:

What is the distance?

What is the blind spot?

Test 2: Near point accommodation

We are able to focus (or accommodate) light onto our retina due to the lens. Muscle fibers attached to the lens move it forward and backward within the eye causing the elastic fibers in the lens to stretch and contract. As we age, the elasticity of the lens decreases, and it becomes harder to focus on close objects.

1. Hold a pencil or pen tip at arm’s length in front of one eye. Close your other eye.
2. Slowly move the pin toward your eye, until the pin seems distorted/blurry. At this point, stop moving the pencil or pen.
3. Measure the distance from the pin to your eye. Record the distance:
4. Repeat the same procedure for your other eye. Record the distance:
5. Answer the following questions:

Is the near point accommodation the same for both eyes? Why do you think this is? How would near point accommodation change if you were near-sighted? Far-sighted?
