A member of the park service believes the average number of cacti per square km in tucson, az in the year 2001 is less than the average number of cacti per square km in tucson, az in the year 1970. for this study, he will make use of data from a 1970 study in which a random sample of 15 plots of land (each 1 square km) was taken around tucson, az. the park service researcher goes back to those exact same plots, and re-measures the number of cacti per square foot for each plot. below are the results from the analysis of this data.

Question Continuation

a. What is a subject in this study?

b. What is the explanatory variable and what type of variable is it?

c. Which type of test is most appropriate?

See Explanation Below

Explanation:

In research, a subject can be referred to as a person, place, thing, or phenomenon that is being measured of observed. In the question above, the observation is focused on the area of cacti/km² plot of land near Tucson, AZ; hence, it'll be taken as the research subject.

b. Explanatory variables are those variables that are not totally independent and are used to predict or explain differences in the response variable.

Having pointed what an explanatory variable is, we'll list the explanatory variable(s) in the question, using the definition above.

1. Year;

The question compares the growth of cacti per km² in 1970 and 2001. The differences in the growth are then measured in order to determine if there's indeed a growth or a decline in growth of cacti.

Hence, year is an explanatory variable and it's numerical

2. Using the same yardstick, another explanatory variable in the question above is the average number of cacti per km².

It is considered an explanatory variable because it represent the numerical value of cacti present in a km² area.

It is also numerical

The most appropriate type of test in this kind of observation is the independent sample t test.

An Independent Samples t Test takes into consideration the means or averages of two independent groups and then make makes comparison between them in order to determine whether there is statistical evidence that the associated population means are significantly different.

The question compares the average of cactus in 1970 and 2001.

The keyword here is average and that is what is being described by the independent sample t test. I.e. the average of cactus per km² in both years.

Answer from: Quest

Via: "if you are found to be supplying or dealing drugs, the punishment is likely to be tough. supplying drugs doesn’t just apply to dealers. if police suspect that you intend to share drugs with your friends, this is still considered to be supplying.

being suspected of supplying drugs means you are much more likely to be charged. the amount of drugs found on you, and whether you have a criminal record, will be taken into account when a punishment is being decided.

decisions to prosecute are taken by the public prosecution service. the maximum sentences for intent to supply drugs are:

- up to life in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a class a drug- up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine (or both) for a class b or class c drug."sorry if this was a school question, you didnt supply options so i assumed it was a personal question, which if it is, reconsider selling or having possesion of any drugs at all. i wish you the best!

Peninsula products has just applied for a loan at your bank. when reviewing peninsula's books for the year that just ended, you notice that the firm uses the fair value option for its bonds payable. you also see that the firm recorded a $55,000 debit in its bonds payable account and a $55,000 credit in its unrealized holding gain or loss"income account. over that same period, interest rates decreased by about 0.5 percent. how should this information affect the bank's decision as to whether to grant peninsula a loan? a : the bank should strongly consider giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen an increase in its credit rating over the past year. b : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely the result of the rise in interest rates. c : the bank should hesitate before giving a loan to peninsula because the changes in firm's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts suggest that peninsula has seen a decline in its credit rating over the past year. d : the bank should put little emphasis on the changes in peninsula's bonds payable and unrealized holding gain or loss"income accounts because these changes are likely unrelated to either interest rates or the firm's credit rating.

There's a cartoon that has become a social media meme. two pigs are chatting. the first pig says, "isn't it great? we have to pay nothing for the barn." the second pig replies. "yeah! and even the food is free." this cartoon is frequently linked to a quote that goes something like this: "if you're not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold." what do these statements imply about social media? what are the specific ways that social media users become a product that is being sold?
