Cell Phone Radiation. Listed below are measurements of specific absorption rate (SAR) of radiation (in W/kg) when these types of cell phones are held to the head: Samsung SGHtss9, Blackberry Storm, Blackberry Curve, Motorola Moto, T-Mobile Sidekick, Sanyo Katana Eclipse, Palm Pre, Sony Ericsson, Nokia 6085, Apple iPhone 3G S, and Kyocero Neo E1100. (Data from the Environmental Working Group.) What additional data would you need to determine whether there is any danger from cell phone radiation?

A baby dolphin is born into the ocean, which is a fairly cold environment. Water has a high heat conductivity, so the thermal
regulation of a newborn dolphin is quite important. It has been known for a long time that baby dolphins' blubber is different in
composition and quantity from the blubber of adults. Does this make the babies better protected from the cold compared to adults?
One measure of the effectiveness of blubber is its "conductance". This value as calculated on 5 newborn dolphins and 10 adults
dolphins (Dunkin et al. 2005).
The newborn dolphins had an average conductance of 10.44, with a standard error of the mean equal to 0.58. The adult dolphins'
conductance averaged 8.44, with the standard error of this estimate equal to 1.87. All measures are given in watts per square meter
per degree Celcius.
Calculate the standard deviation of conductance for the baby dolphin group. Round your answer two decimal places.

Seedlings of understory trees in mature tropical rainforests must survive and grow using intermittent flecks of sunlight. How does the length of exposure to these flecks of sunlight (flleck duration) affect growth? Researchers experimentally irradiated seedlings of the Southeast Asian rainforest tree with flecks of light of varying duration while maintaining the same total irradiance to all the seedlings.

- 17.7 Butterfly wings. Researchers studied the morphological attributes of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus), a species that undertakes large seasonal migrations over North America. They measured the forewing weight (in milligrams, mg) of a sample of 92 monarch butterflies, all of which had been reared in captivity in identical conditions.° Figure 17.4 shows the output from the statistical software JMP. (The data are also available in the Large.Butterfly the data file if you wish to practice working with your own software.)

During a 12-day period in 2010, he recorded his heart rate before using the treadmill and after 5 minutes of use. The data are shown in Table 8.37 (image attached). The subject also recorded his heart rate at baseline and 5 minutes after starting the treadmill exercise (at a speed of 2.5 mph) in 2000. The data are shown in Table 8.38 (image attached).

- ASAP 30 minutes leftarrow_forwardThe National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) supplies "standard materials" whose physical properties are supposed to be known. For example, you can buy from NIST a liquid whose electrical conductivity is supposed to be 5. (The units for conductivity are microsiemens per centimeter. Distilled water has conductivity 0.5.) Of course, no measurement is exactly correct. NIST knows the variability of its measurements very well, so it is quite realistic to assume that the population of all measurements of the same liquid has the Normal distribution with mean μμ equal to the true conductivity and standard deviation σσ = 0.2. Here are 6 measurements on the same standard liquid, which is supposed to have conductivity 5: 5.32 4.88 5.10 4.73 5.15 4.75 NIST wants to give the buyer of this liquid a 96% confidence interval for its true conductivity.
