A biologist is conducting an experiment that involves a colony of fruit flies. (Biologists frequently study fruit flies. (Biologists frequently study fruit flies because their short life span allows the experimenters to easily study several generations). One day, there were
a. Develop the mathematical model that represents the population of flies.
b. Use the model to predict the population after one week.
c. Use the model to predict when the population will be double its initial size.

Indicate why the give method for running a simulation is not accurate.A bag contains 4 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, 6 yellow marbles, and 6 green marbles. If marbles are drawn one-by-one and not replaced, use 0-1 to represent a red marble, 2-3 to represent blue, 4-6 for yellow, and 7-9 to represent a green marble.
We know that physical exercise improves the body, but can it also improve the mind? Scientists at The Salk Institute at La Jolla, California, took a random sample of adult mice and divided them into two groups. Both groups were trained to find a platform in a maze filled with cloudy water. (Mice hate swimming, so they seek the platform as the refuge.) The first group of mice exercised on a running wheel, about 5 kilometers per day. The second group remained inactive. After one month, the mice were placed in the maze and timed until each reached the platform. The sample statistics are given below.Active group: n = 15, x ̄ = 17.6, s = 3.0 111Inactive group: n = 12, x ̄ = 27.1, s = 6.3 222(a) At 1% significance level conduct a hypothesis test to determine if exercise im- proves memory in adult mice; in other words, test if the active group is, on average, faster than the inactive group.(i.)

The ticks are infected mainly by feeding on mice, so more mice result in more infected ticks. The mouse population in turn rises and falls with the abundance of acorns, their favored food.

They added hundreds of thousands of acorns to one area to imitate an abundant acorn crop, while leaving the other area untouched. The next spring, 54 of the 72 mice trapped in the first area were in breeding condition, versus 10 of the 17 mice trapped in the second area.

The previous farmer grew corn for several decades and kept detailed records of his crop production each year. These records include the amount of sunlight, the amount of rain, the average yield, and other such figures. In an effort to help Donna out, the previous farmer compares his records of using two popular fertilizers: Earthy and SunX. He pulls his records for the 7 seasons he used Earthy on his corn and the records for the 7 seasons that he used SunX on his corn. He uses these records to compare the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used Earthy to the average corn yield for the 7 seasons that he used SunX. If applicable, he will recommend the better fertilizer to Donna. (a)First choose whether the procedure described above is an observational study or a designed experiment.
