A manufacturer claims that 20% of sugar-coated chocolate beans are red. George suspects that this percentage is actually less than 20% and so he takes a random sample of 15 chocolate beans and performs a hypothesis test with the null hypothesis $p = 0.2$ against the alternative hypothesis $p < 0.2$. He decides to reject the null hypothesis in favour of the alternative hypothesis if there are 0 or 1 red beans in the sample. (i) With reference to this situation, explain what is meant by a Type I error. (ii) Find the probability of a Type I error in George's test.

When Charles Darwin wrote his book On the Origin of Species, he provided evidence in support of his hypothesis (now considered a theory) explaining the diversity of life. With Darwin's concepts in mind, which of the following would be considered examples of natural selection and which would be artificial selection? Drag each item on the left to its matching item on the right. Note that every item may not have a match, while some items may have more than one match. artificial selection + natural selection+ Many different varieties of pigeons are bred by hobbyists to highlight feather color and texture. Flowers with bright colors and sweet nectar are regularly visited by butterflies, bees, and other insects. Marsupials in Australia demonstrate adaptive traits analogous to those of similar kinds of mammals in similar habitats on other continents. Heavy "humble bees" (the name given to bumble bees in Darwin's day) pollinate flowers that cannot be entered by smaller bees. Extinct mastodons and living elephants show similar characteristics, with teeth well adapted to eating trees and plants.

The stuff above the 1st graph says: The following graph plots the demand curve (blue line) for several consumers in the market for VR headsets in Mead, a small town located in Colorado. The Mead market price of a VR headset is given by the horizontal black line at $240. Each rectangle you can place on the following graph corresponds to a particular buyer in this market: orange (square symbols) for Sam, green (triangle symbols) for Teresa, purple (diamond symbols) for Andrew, tan (dash symbols) for Beth, and blue (circle symbols) for Darnell. Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing consumer surplus for each person who is willing and able to purchase a VR headset at a market price of $240. (Note: If a person will not purchase a VR headset at the market price, indicate this by leaving his or her rectangle in its original position on the palette.) YOU MUST ANSWER BOTH GRAPHS AND ALL THE BOXES. DO NOT JUST ANSWER THE BOXES PLEASE. ANSWER BOTH GRAPHS AS WELL.

Texts: Read "Dr. Joseph Goldberger and the War on Pellagra" story. Answer the following questions: 2. What evidence shows that Pellagra is not caused by a germ? Give at least two examples for full credit. 3. A dietary deficiency of the vitamin __________ caused Pellagra. 4. Fortification with ___________ cured Pellagra in the south. 5. Lombroso thought that spoiled or moldy corn caused Pellagra while Goldberger was convinced that a dietary deficiency caused Pellagra. Describe an experiment that you might conduct to demonstrate which of these two hypotheses is correct. Your experiment should be a human or animal intervention that satisfies the criteria in the textbook chapter "Types of Scientific Studies." Observation: Hypothesis: Type of scientific study (shoot for the "gold-standard"): Control group: Experimental group(s): Possible results: Conclusion/Policy recommendation: When you encounter news of a study that shows that people who eat more fruits get fewer colds, does this type of study show causation or correlation? Provide an explanation for the answer you chose. You encounter news of a study where one group of people were given a diet plan and told to follow it, and another group of people were given a diet plan, told to follow it, and met each week as a group with a health educator. The group that met with the health educator complied more closely with their diet. Does this study show causation or correlation? Provide an explanation for the answer you chose.
