You have collected data on the rate of pollination by an endangered pollinators in Denver. Your question is if the mean rate of pollination on native vs. non-native plant species differs. To do so, you monitored trips to different size patches of plants (native/non-native), from 10% of each to 90% of each. You did this for 10 different groups of each plant type, and then plotting a linear regression. Is that an appropriate design? Why or why not?

Cohesive energy of a crystal is the energetic cost that holds all atoms together in a crystal. It can be determined both experimentally and theoretically. Explain, based on your knowledge on the quantum mechanical nature of non–covalent interactions, why the following statement is incorrect:

Because silicon crystal are bonded together by strong covalent bonds between silicon atoms, non– covalent interactions, in particular, dispersion interactions, play NO role in determining the cohesive energy in silicon crystals.

In 1,000 words please answer these questions What is the difference between illness and disease? In addition, what is the difference between westernized vs non westernized medicine? What are your views on these two types of medicine? Which do you prefer? Do you tend to depend on westernized medicine or does your culture use alternative medicine? Should we consider non westernized medicine when discussing treatment with our patients?

Question 7. A number of studies have focused on the question of whether children born to smoker women differ physiologically from children born to non-smokers. The paper "Placental Transfer of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, and Carbon Monoxide in Women" (Environ. Research (1978): 494-503) reported on results from one such investigation. They measured the blood-lead concentration (mg/l) for new-born babies of smoker and non-smoker mothers. The summary statistics from this study are shown in the table below:

__________________________________________________________________________________

Group                           Sample Size                  Sample Mean                Sample Standard Deviation

__________________________________________________________________________________

Smoker Mothers                       40                                8.6                               3.3

Non-smoker Mothers                60                                8.1                               3.5

__________________________________________________________________________________

Do the data provide convincing evidence that the true mean blood-lead concentration for smoker’s new-born children exceeds those of born to non-smokers? ? Test at 5% level of significance using the following steps.
