The meaning of the word "quack" in this sentence from Poe's  "The Cask of Amontillado" most likely means: "a person who dishonestly pretends to have skills or knowledge."

He seems to be using it as a synonym of <em>"charlatan,"</em> since he contrast Fortunato's true knowledge of wines with his pretended expertise on painting and gemmary.

A mean (also known as average) is adding up all the numbers you have and then dividing it by how many numbers you had. Tara says the mean is 6. When you add these numbers up you have 30 and there are 5 numbers. When you divide 30 by 5 you get 6, therefore Tara is correct.

Answer:

hypothesis: Amount of sugar ingested affects children's self-esteem.

Explanation:

To establish the validity or falsifiability of this hypothesis, it would be necessary to establish a scientific experiment.

In that case, I would gather 30 children between 10-12 years old and divide them into 3 groups, each with 10 children. Group A would be made up of children who should eat 100 calories (approximately 25 grams) of sugar per day, which is the limit recommended by medical authorities. Group B would be formed by children who should eat 150 calories of sugar per day. Group C would consist of children who would not eat any calories from sugar. The experiment would last for 3 months.

Over the three months, children would be assessed on their view of themselves and their confidence in going through small challenges that require high levels of self-esteem. Each children's behavior would be given a grade.

In the end, the scores in each group would form an average and these averages would be compared using statistisc apps, to see if there is a significant difference between the results of each group. If the difference was not significant between the groups, it means that sugar does not interfere with children's self-esteem. If the difference is significant, it means that sugar interferes with children's self-esteem.
