Schmidt (1994) conducted a series of experiments examining the effects of humor on memory. in one study, participants were shown a list of sentences, of which half were humorous and half were nonhumorous. a humorous example is, “if at first you don’t succeed, you are probably not related to the boss.” other participants would see a nonhumorous version of this sentence, such as “people who are related to the boss often succeed the very first time.”schmidt then measured the number of each type of sentence recalled by each participant. the following scores are similar to the results obtained in the study. number of sentence recalledhumorous sentences nonhumorous sentences4 5 2 4 5 2 4 2 6 7 6 6 2 3 1 62 5 4 3 3 2 3 31 3 5 5 4 1 5 3calculate the mean number of sentences recalled for each of the two conditions. do the data suggest that humor memory?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?

Marco is studying a type of mold that grows at a fast rate. he created the function f(x) = 345(1.30)x to model the number of mold spores per week. what does the 1.30 represent? how many mold spores are there after 4 weeks? round your answer to the nearest whole number. 1.30 represents the number of mold spores marco had at the beginning of the study; 985 mold spores 1.30 represents the number of mold spores grown in a given week; 448 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 345 mold spores 1.30 represents the 30% rate of weekly growth; 985 mold spores
