    your data in explaining whether the hypothesis was supported or not.

5. Explain how the tail length trait was influenced by natural selection in your experiment.

   If you could not discover this from the simulation, propose a possible situation where a long tail would provide a

A classic experiment in equilibrium studies dating from 1862 involved the reaction in aqueous solution of ethanol and acetic acid to produce ethyl acetate and water.

C₂H₅OH (aq) + CH₃COOH (aq) <---> CH₃COOC₂H₅ (aq) + H₂O (l)

The reaction can be followed by analyzing the equilibrium mixture for its acetic acid content using a titration with Ba(OH)₂ as shown below:

2CH₃COOH (aq) + Ba(OH)₂ (aq) ---> Ba(CH₃COO)₂ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

In one experiment, a mixture of 1.000 moles acetic acid and 0.5000 moles ethanol is brought to equilibrium in a 1.000 L flask. A 20.00 mL sample of the equilibrium mixture requires 56.74 mL of 0.1000 M Ba(OH)₂ for its titration.

What is the concentration of the acetic acid found in the titration?

What is the mass action expression for the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid?

What is the value of the equilibrium constant for the reaction of ethanol and acetic acid?

An experimental psychology professor conducts an experiment to evaluate the effects of Variable A: Math Ability and Variable B: Teaching Method on student performance in research methods. Volunteers for the experiment are divided according to math ability into weak, average, and strong math ability groups. Half of the students in each math ability group are randomly assigned to one of two teaching methods: Method 1 (traditional format) or Method 2 (augmented format, which includes additional problem-solving sessions each week). At the end of the course, all of the students take the same final exam.

b.) set up the null and alternative hypotheses and state your decisions about each null hypothesis using an alpha level of .05

When measuring the volumes of Fe(NO3)3 and NaSCN solutions in this experiment, the student mistakenly used a graduated cylinder instead of volumtetric pipets, After collecting all of the data, the student realized he'd used the wrong piece of equipment, but he didn't redo the experiment. Also, he later realized that he had consistenly misread the graduated cylinder and had thus transferred volumes that were actually 5% lower that the recorded volumes. Incoportate these measurement errors into the data for one of your equilibrium solutions, and recompute Keq for that solution. Determine whether the student's measurements errors would cause each of the following, as recalculated by you, to be higher than, lower than, or identical to the value you originally determinded. Briefly explain.

1) the calculated SCN- ion concentration in the standard solution

2) the slope of the Beer's Law plot

3) the calculated equilibrium solution concentrations

4) calculated Keq

Three professors at a university did an experiment to determine if economists are more selfish than other people. They dropped 64 stamped, addressed envelopes with $10 cash in different classrooms on the campus. 45% were returned overall. From the economics classes 57% of the envelopes were returned. From the business, psychology, and history classes 32% were returned.

• R = money returned
• E = economics classes
• O = other classes

• Part (a) Write a probability statement for the overall percent of money returned.

  P ()=
    

• Part (b)Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the economics classes.

  P ()=

• Part (c) Write a probability statement for the percent of money returned out of the other classes.

  P ()=

• Part (d) Is money being returned independent of the class? Explain.

• Part (e) Based upon this experiment, do you think that economists are more selfish than other people? Explain.

B. 0.05 T

C. 2 T

D. 0.2 T

1) You are studying staghorn sculpin within wetland creeks, and you use baited minnow traps separated by 10 meters. After an hour, you pull all your minnow traps up and count the number of sculpins found in each minnow trap. You organize the data in a frequency table seen below:

Suppose you have two strains of mice, S1 and S2. Strain S2 is genetically modified to metabolize a pharmacon P supposedly faster than S1. You conducted an experiment in a sample set of each strain, in which the pharmacon was injected and its concentration in blood was measured every 15min for 2h. Of course, age, gender, and weight was recorded for each animal. You want to statistically demonstrate that the metabolic rate of N is higher in S2 than S1. For simplicity, let us assume that the pharmacon is metabolized by a 0th order (linear) kinetic.

1. Describe a statistically correct and efficient approach for analyzing the data.

2. Which statistical model is suitable to address the question above? Explain how this model works and how results are interpreted.

3. A few animals die (e.g., due to toxic effects) during the experiment. How would you deal with this problem in the statistical analysis?

The following three columns of data represent observations (number of aphids killed per m²) following three pesticide treatments (A-C), with each treatment being “replicated” five times.

Analyse the strength of evidence for a treatment effect (A-C) if:

1. the experiment was completely randomised (i.e. rows have no meaning)

and alternatively if:

2. the experiment was in randomised spatial blocks, with observations from the same block being in the same row (i.e. 5.1, 5.7, 6.5 block 1; 8.2, 6.3, 8.1 block 2…). In this case the rows have meaning.

Why do you come to different conclusions about the effects of pesticide dependent on the method applied? In each instance, please provide a statement of the null hypotheses and alternates, the fitted equation, a qualitative summary of whether the model assumptions are met, and a conclusion

(10) 2. ESP (extra sensory perception) is the ability to read minds. We have a set of cards with each card having one of 5 shapes on them (square, rectangle, triangle, circle, question mark) and there are an equal number of each shape in the deck. We are going to select one card from the deck, stare at it and then there is a guy who claims he has ESP who is going to guess at the shape on the card we drew out (after each time we pull a card out – the ESP dude will make a guess- then we put the card back ). We did this experiment 250 times and we count how many times he guesses correctly

a) Why does this an experiment that fits the criterion of a binomial?

b) What is the mean, standard deviation and normal range for the number of times he guesses correctly

c) If he guesses 55 correct do you think he has ESP? Explain
