1. let’s assume the following statements are true: historically, 75% of the five­star football recruits in the nation go to universities in the three most competitive athletic conferences. historically, five­star recruits get full football scholarships 93% of the time, regardless of which conference they go to. if this pattern holds true for this year’s recruiting class, answer the following:
a. based on these numbers, what is the probability that a randomly selected five­ star recruit who chooses one of the best three conferences will be offered a full football scholarship?

Astudent is determining the influence of different types of food on the growth rate of spiders. she feeds one group of spiders two caterpillars twice a week. the other group received similarly-sized beetles twice a week. she records the amount of time required for individuals to reach sexual maturity. her hypothesis is that the spiders feeding on caterpillars will have a faster growth rate because caterpillars have a higher protein content compared to beetles. in this experiment, what is the dependent variable? spiders assigned to different feeding groups. time required to reach sexual maturity number of prey items fed twice a week. growth rates of each group.
