Lamarck noticed many similarities among a variety of animals and was interested in the fossil record.

This led Lamarck to argue that organisms changed as a result of changes in their environment.

Lamarck developed the theory of acquired characteristics that organisms changed during their lifetime to accommodate their environment and that these acquired characteristics became inherited in their offspring. This theory was preceded for example by Erasmus Darwin who believed that "improvements" to organisms could be passed on or inherited.

Answer:

(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.

(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.

Explanation:

Given

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$

$10th\ run = 9$

So:

$B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

Required

Select all true statements

(a) & (d) Median Comparisons

$A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}$ $B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

Arrange the data:

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th$

$Median = \frac{10}{2}th$ $Median = \frac{11}{2}th$

$Median = 5th$ $Median = 5.5}th$ --- average of 5th and 6th

$Median = 2$ $Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2$

Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

(b) & (c) Interquartile Range Comparisons

$A = \{1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2,3, 4\}$ $B = \{1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,4,9\}$

$n = 9$ $n = 10$

First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)

$Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th$ [Odd n] $Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th$ [Even n]

$Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th$ $Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$

$Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th$ $Q_1 = 2.5$

$Q_1 = 2.5th$

This means that:

$Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$ $Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)$

$Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1)$ $Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)$

$Q_1 = 1$ $Q_1 = 1$

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th$ [Odd n] $Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th$ [Even n]

$Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th$ $Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$

$Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th$ $Q_3 = 7.5th$

$Q_3 = 7.5th$

This means that:

$Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$ $Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)$

$Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2)$ $Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)$

$Q_3 = 2.5$ $Q_3 = 3$

The interquartile range is $IQR = Q_3 - Q_1$

So, we have:

$IQR = 2.5 - 1$ $IQR = 3 - 1$

$IQR = 1.5$ $IQR =2$

(b) is true because B has a greater IQR than A

(e) This is false because some spread measures (which include quartiles and the interquartile range) changed when the 10th data is included.

The upper quartile and the interquartile range of A and B are not equal

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

All the offsprings would be heterozygous purple colored flower

Explanation:

Given

Purple color flower is dominant over white color flower

Let the allele for purple color of flower be represented by "P"

and the allele for white color flower be represented by "p"

A pea plant that is homozygous purple-flowered is crossed with a pea plant that is white-flowered.

Genotype of homozygous purple-flower is "PP"

and Genotype of homozygous white-flower is "pp"

Cross between PP and pp produce the following offspring

PP * pp

Pp, Pp , Pp , Pp

All the offsprings would be heterozygous purple colored flower
