1. During the first 6 months of the year, is solar time more often ahead of mean time or behind mean time?
2. According to Figure 2, in a given year, solar time is ahead of mean time for approximately how many months in total?
3. Based on Figure 1, the longest solar day of the year is approximately how much longer than the shortest solar day of the year?
4. Based on the table, for which 2 trials was the average C value less than 50 g and the average gain in body mass greater than 75 g?
5. Consider Trials 1−4. Based on the table, as salinity increased, did average C increase or decrease, and did average gain in body mass increase or decrease?
6. Consider the 4 trials for which the average C values were less than 45 g. What is the order of these trials from the trial with the least average C value to the trial with the greatest average C value?
7. Based on the table, average gain in body mass was approximately how many times as great for the S.maximus in Trial 6 as for the S.maximus in Trial 5?
8. Suppose Trial 1 lasted 3 months. How many months did Trial 8 last?
9. What was the average C, in kilograms (kg), for fish kept at a temperature of 22°C and a salinity of 25 ppt?
10. Which of the following is the most likely reason that a given mixture was exposed to a temperature of 105°C in Study 1?
11. In Study 3, once the suction was applied, the filters most likely allowed the passage of:
12. In Study 2, was the suspension for Mixture 1 acidic or basic?
13. Consider the statement 'The percent by volume of compost in the mixture that had the greatest bulk density was the same as the percent by volume of compost in the mixture that had the extract with the lowest electrical conductivity.' Do the results of Studies 1 and 3 support this statement?
14. Suppose that in Experiment 2 a trial had been performed in which NP 1 was observed at a frequency of 130 Hz. Based on Figure 2, the tension of the drumhead would most likely have been closest to which of the following?
15. Experiments 1 and 2 differed in which of the following ways?
16. Based on the results of Experiment 1, for the 60 cm diameter drumhead, what was the difference between the frequency at which NP 1 was observed and the frequency at which the speaker was initially set during the procedure?
17. For a given diameter and tension, the fundamental frequency is the frequency at which NP 1 is observed. Suppose that, for a 20 cm diameter drumhead set at a tension of 2,000 N/m, a certain NP is known to form at a frequency that is 2.3 times the fundamental frequency. Based on the results of Experiment 1, this NP would most likely form at approximately what frequency?
18. A student claimed that the greater the drumhead diameter, the longer the wavelength of sound needed to observe a given NP. Is this claim supported by the results for NP 2 from Experiment 1?
19. Which student, if any, would be likely to predict that the Gene R genotype of Individual 5 is rr ?
20. Which of the following tables is most consistent with the hypothesis of Student 3 ?
21. Which of Student 2 or Student 3 implied that Trait R is a recessive trait?
22. Suppose that Individual 20 and Individual 21 have a biological child. Based on Student 2’s hypothesis, what is the probability that the child will have Trait R ?
23. Based on Student 1’s hypothesis, is an individual with the Gene R genotype RR female or male, and does the individual have Trait R?
24. Which of the students proposed a pattern of inheritance that would most likely result in Trait R being rarer in females than in males?
25. Consider Individuals 3 and 4 and their offspring. Is this portion of the pedigree more consistent with the hypothesis of Student 1 or the hypothesis of Student3?
26. The hottest peppers in the study were most likely those of which variety grown in which plot?
27. Based on the results of the study for V1 in the plots that had fertilizer applied, would the SHU rating likely have been higher for green peppers or for red peppers?
28. Consider the statement 'For a given variety of pepper grown without applied fertilizer, the total capsaicinoid concentration of red peppers is generally higher than that of green peppers.' Are the results of the study for V3 consistent with this statement?
29. Assume that 50 kg of fertilizer was applied to each plot that was fertilized in the study. Suppose an additional plot type in which 100 kg of fertilizer was applied to each plot had also been included in the study. The peppers grown in these plots were harvested 77 days after planting in the fields. The results are shown in the following table.
30. For each of the 3 pepper varieties, which plot was most likely intended to serve as the control for the effect of applied fertilizer on peppers that were harvested when they were red?
31. Based on the description of the study, how many pepper plants were planted in each plot?
32. Assume that the average mass of a dried V1 pepper was 20 g. On average, the total mass, in milligrams, of capsaicinoids found in a V1 pepper from Plot M was closest to which of the following?
