A contractor is researching the cost of different types of wood finishing and learns that oak costs $1 per square foot, teak costs $1.50 per square foot, pine costs $0.75 per square foot, and mahogany costs $8.50 per square foot. Describe two methods for calculating the central tendency (mean, median, mode) of the cost of wood prices, then explain which method would give the most accurate representation and why.

There are several unique characteristics of qualitative research that make it distinct from quantitative research. describe the aspects of qualitative research and the elements of design that contribute to the rigor of the work. what actions of the researcher can compromise the integrity of the findings?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

Prove the divisibility of the following numbers: 25^9 + 5^7 is divisible by 30.also, read as (25 to the power of 9) + (5 to the power of 7) is divisible by 30. blank x 30what is the blank? ( it should be expressed in exponent form)
