Seedlings of the parasitic plant Cuscuta pentagona (dodder) hunt by directing growth preferentially toward nearby host plants. L

acking eyes, or even a nervous system, how do they detect their victims? To investigate the possibility that the parasite detects volatile chemicals produced by host plants. Runyon et. al (2006) placed individual dodder seedlings into a vial of water at the center of a circular paper disc. A chamber containing volatile extacts from tomato ( a host plant ) in solvent was placed at one edge at of disc, whereas a control chamber containing only solvent was placed at the opposite end. The researchers divided the disk onto equal- are quadrats to record in which direction the seedlings grew. Of 30 dodder plants tested. 17 seedlings grew toward the volatiles. 2 grew away (toward the solvent), 7 grew toward the left side, and 4 grew toward the right side.
a. Graph the relative frequency distribution for these results. What type of graph is ideal?

b. What are the relative frequencies expected if the parasite is unable to detect the plant volatiles or any other cues present? Add these expected relative frequencies to your graph in part A

c. Using these data, calculate the fraction of seedlings that grow toward the volatiles. What does this fraction estimate?

d. Provide a standard error for your estimate. What deos this standard error represent?

e. Calculate the range of most plausible values for the fraction of dodder seedlings that grow toward the volatiles under these experimental conditions. Does it include or exclude the fraction expected if the parasite is unable to detect plant volatiles or other cues present?

Answer:

a. Graph the relative frequency distribution for these results. What type of graph is ideal?

we must use bar graph

[Graph is attached with the name graph 1]

b.

Toward the Frequency Relative Frequency

volatiles                     17    0.566666667

solvent                     2           0.066666667

left side                      7              0.233333333

right side                      4              0.133333333

[Graphs is added in the attachment with the name graph 2]

c.

17/30 = 0.567

d.

se=\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=\sqrt{\frac{0.567(1-0.567)}{30}}=0.091

standard error shows the variation in sampling distribution.

e.

The most plausible values for the fraction of dodder seedlings that grow toward the volatiles is:

\hat{p}\pm 2\sqrt{\frac{p(1-p)}{n}}=0.0567\pm 2(0.091)\: \: or\: \: (0.385,0.749)

This does not included the fraction expected (0.25).

This table shows the number of points a high school basketball team scored during each of its last 10 games.
professor190 [17]

The measure of central tendency that is most affected by the lowest score is; A: The mean.

<h3>How to find the measures of Central Tendency?</h3>

The points table is missing and so I have attached it.

The 3 main measures of central tendency are called mean, median and mode.

Now, from the table attached, if we find the average which is the mean, we will get 56.6.

Now, the mode is the number that occurs the most times. In this case, there is no mode because no number appears more than the other.

For the median, if we arrange in ascending order, we have;

42, 48, 49, 53, 55, 56, 58, 66, 68, 71.

The median = (55 + 56)/2 = 55.5

Now, if we remove the lowest score, the measure that will be most affected will be the mean as the median will only change by 0.5 to 56.

What Force would be needed to extend a spring with a spring constant k=7 N/m that extends<br>0.3m?​
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Force  =  - 2.1 Newton

Step-by-step explanation:

According to question ,

The value of Spring constant , K = 7  N/m   Newton per meter

And the spring is extended up to 0.3 meter

The Force experience on the spring is calculated from the Hook's Law

<u>The principal state that , the force applied on spring to extend or compress the spring to some distance is proportion to that distance. </u>

Let the force be F

So, F =  - K X

where K is spring constant and X is its displacement

Negative sign shows displacement of spring once it is stretched

And K is spring constant

So ,Force = ( - ) 7 × 0.3

I.e Force  =  - 2.1 Newton       Answer

The distance on a map between Lynwood and Forest Hill is 3.75 inches. According to the map key, 0.25 inch on the map is equivale
Volgvan

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the actual distance in miles between Lynwood and Forest Hill, we can use a rule of three:

If 0.25 inch on the map is equivalent to 1 mile, then 3.75 inch on the map is equivalent to what distance:

0.25 inch -> 1 mile

3.75 inch -> X miles

0.25/3.75 = 1/X

X = 3.75/0.25 = 15 miles

The actual distance between Lynwood and Forest Hill is 15 miles.
