. Martin has hypothesized that the size and types of trees differ between valleys and higher elevations. He sets up a transect line in a wooded valley and randomly creates three 10 x 10 meter plots along the transect line, recording GPS coordinates for the northwest corner of each plot. He identifies and measures (diameter at breast height) every tree within the plots. He repeats this procedure in a wooded area on the ridge above the valley. Are Martin’s methods for identifying and measuring trees quantitative, qualitative, or semi-quantitative? Justify your reasoning.

Item 9 At a research facility that designs rocket engines, researchers know that some engines fail to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 40 engines of one design, 14 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. From a random sample of 30 engines of a second design, 9 failed to ignite as a result of fuel system error. The researchers want to estimate the difference in the proportion of engine failures for the two designs. Which of the following is the most appropriate method to create the estimate? A one-sample z-interval for a sample proportion A A one-sample z-interval for a population proportion B A two-sample z-interval for a population proportion C A two-sample z-interval for a difference in sample proportions D A two-sample z-interval for a difference in population proportions
The Etruscans. Anthropologists are still trying to unravel the mystery of the origins of the Etruscan empire, a highly advanced Italic civilization formed around the eighth century B.C. in central Italy. Were they native to the Italian peninsula or, as many aspects of their civilization suggest, did they migrate from the East by land or sea? The maximum head breadth, in millimeters, of 70 modern Italian male skulls and 84 preserved Etruscan male skulls was analyzed to help researchers decide whether the Etruscans were native to Italy. The resulting data can be found on the WeissStats site. [SOURCE: N. Barnicot and D.

An item is to be constructed by laying three components in a row. The length of eachcomponent will be measured.a) If the uncertainty in measuring the length of each component is 1.2 mm, what is the uncertainty in the combined length of the three components?b) If it is desired to estimate the length of the item with an uncertainty of 0.5 mm, what must be the uncertainty in the measurement of each individual component? Assume the uncertainties in the three measurements are the same.

Experiment 1: An agronomist wanted to compare the yield of three different varieties of rice (A, B, C). So, within a field, he randomly assigned each variety to five plots. The yield[s] in pounds per acre were recorded for each plot. Go back to the original experiment in (1) where we are only interested in variety, not fertilizer. The agronomist realized that he wanted his results to apply over a range of soil conditions. So, he decided to conduct the experiment on 4 different locations (subdivisions) in a field so that the elevation and type of soil vary. He planted each variety on one plot within each subdivision of the field. Again, the yield[s] in pounds per acre were recorded for each plot. (d) What are the experimental units in the study? How many are there in total? (e) What is the name of the design of this experiment? (Single factor, two-factor, block) (f) Outline the design of the experiment.

With the knownledge of numerical analysis,The bus stages along jinja-Kampala Roadare 10km part. Anexpress bus travelling between the two towns only stops at these stages except incase of emergency when it is permitted tostop at a point in between the two stages. The fares up to the first, second, thirdand fourth stages from Jinja are shs.110,shs. 150,shs .185 and shs .200 respectively. On certain day apassenger paid to travel from Jinja in the bus up to the fourth stage but fell sick and had to be left at a health center 33kms away from Jinja. Given that he was refundedmoney for part of the journey he had, findthe approximate amount he received.Another person had only shs. 165 was allowed to board the bs but be left at a point worth his money. How far from Jinja was he to be left?
