Dominic wants to test if one of two types of fertilizer (a standard fertilizer and a new product) is better for producing melons

of equal weight after a three-month fertilization program. Dominic has two identical land plots (1 and 2) and is considering how to assign 30 melon plants, each of which has a numbered tag, to the fertilizer. What is the best way to do this as a matched-pairs design?
A. Put all the odd-numbered melons in plot 1 and the even-numbered melons in plot 2. Then give the standard fertilizer to plot 1 and the new product to plot 2.
B. Assign the melons completely at random to the two plots using a coin flip, heads meaning plot 1 and tails meaning plot 2. Then give the standard fertilizer to plot 1 and the new product to plot 2.
C. Obtain pairs of melon plants whose seedling heights are roughly equal at the start of the experiment and randomly assign one of the pair to plot 1 and the other to plot 2. Then give the standard fertilizer to plot 1 and the new product to plot 2.
D. Obtain pairs of melon plants whose seedling heights are roughly equal at the start of the experiment and put the taller of each pair into plot 2. Then give the standard fertilizer to plot 1 and the new product to plot 2.
E. Divide the 30 melon plants into two groups, with the 15 tallest seedlings in one group. Randomly choose which plot to assign the tallest plants and assign the smallest plants to the other plot. Then give the standard fertilizer to plot 1 and the new product to plot 2.

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

A. is wrong because having a different height for each seedling and not trying to keep it equal is simply worse than making sure the heights are identical.

B. Completely wrong because it would likely result in 1 plot having more melon seedlings than the other.

C. Correct because it makes sure the seedlings are the same height at the beginning of the experiment, allowing less randomness in the experiment.

D. Putting the taller of a each pair for 1 plot makes it the experiment rigged in favor of the plot with taller seedlings

E. Same issue as D.

Solve the system of linear equations below.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the addition/elimination method to solve this.  If we multiply the first equation through by -1 we can eliminate the x terms.  Doing that gives us:

 -x  +  3y  =  3

  x  +  3y  =  9

The x's subtract each other away leaving us with

6y = 12 so

y = 2.

Now we will plug in 2 for y in either of the original equations to solve for x:

x + 3(2) = 9 and

x + 6 = 9 so

x = 3

The coordinate for the solution is (3, 2) or x = 3, y = 2

The second choice down is the one you want.

You told your friend you could eat 1/3 a large pizza. If you only ate 3/5 of what you said you could, how much pizza did you eat
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

1/5

Step-by-step explanation:

If you only eat 3/5 of 1/3, you ate 3/5 × 1/3.  Multiply fractions straight across the top and straight across the bottom to get 3/15.  That reduces down to 1/5.  So you ate 1/5 of the large pizza.

1 lb 0.454 kg About how many kilograms are in 21 pounds?
Semmy [17]

Answer:

21 Pounds =

9.5254398 Kilograms

(rounded to 8 digits)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • <em>Pounds : The pound or pound-mass (abbreviations: lb, lbm, lbm, ℔[1]) is a unit of mass with several definitions. Nowadays, the most common is the international avoirdupois pound which is legally defined as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms. A pound is equal to 16 ounces.  </em>
  • <em>Kilograms : The kilogram (or kilogramme, SI symbol: kg), also known as the kilo, is the fundamental unit of mass in the International System of Units. Defined as being equal to the mass of the International Prototype Kilogram (IPK), that is almost exactly equal to the mass of one liter of water. The kilogram is the only SI base unit using an SI prefix ("kilo", symbol "k") as part of its name. The stability of kilogram is really important, for four of the seven fundamental units in the SI system are defined relative to it.</em>
