Sal purchased two types of plant fertilizer and conducted an experiment to see which fertilizer would be best to use in his greenhouse. He planted 20 seedlings and used Fertilizer A on ten of them and Fertilizer B on the other ten. He measured the height of each plant after two weeks. What conclusion can Sal make about the plant fertilizers? Sample number

A.
No conclusion can be made because the experiment is biased.

B.
The range of heights for plants with Fertilizer B is less than Fertilizer A.

C.
Fertilizer B will outperform Fertilizer A every time.

D.
On average Fertilizer A produces a taller plant.

Aprisoner is trapped in a cell containing three doors. the first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after two days of travel. the second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after three days of travel. the third door leads immediately to freedom. (a) assuming that the prisoner will always select doors 1, 2 and 3 with probabili- ties 0.5,0.3,0.2 (respectively), what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (b) assuming that the prisoner is always equally likely to choose among those doors that he has not used, what is the expected number of days until he reaches freedom? (in this version, if the prisoner initially tries door 1, for example, then when he returns to the cell, he will now select only from doors 2 and 3.) (c) for parts (a) and (b), find the variance of the number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom. hint for part (b): define ni to be the number of additional days the prisoner spends after initially choosing door i and returning to his cell.
