Is this an SRS? A large national telecommunications company has about 20,000 non-management employees and 3,000 management employees. A survey of employee opinion about recent changes in health care coverage selects 400 of the non-management employees at random and 60 of the management employees at random. The 460 employees make up the sample. a) Does this sampling method give each employee an equal chance to be chosen? Why or why not? b) Is this an SRS? Why or why not?

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.
