Which point has the gatest growth rate(r)?
Part 2:
Assume that there is a nonzero average causal effect of soil fumigants on crop yield. In no more
than 3 sentences, describe a setting, in terms of relationships between soil fumigants, eelworm
cysts, and crop yield, where evaluating the mean difference in crop yield between treated/untreated
fields with the same level of eelworm cysts would not produce a biased estimate of the causal effect
of soil fumigants on crop yield. You do not need to provide numerical examples, just describe
relationships among the fumigants, cysts, and yields.
4. Does exponential growth occur in nature (the "real world")? What are some examples?
