An economics instructor would like to test the theory that spraying lavender essential oil in a room while studying will improve test scores. One group of participants studies in a room that releases 2 ounces of lavender every 3 to 4 hours. The second group studies in a room that does not release any essential oils. Both groups study the same amount of time leading up to all course exams. The instructor records the number of points each group gets on a total of 4 exams during a 5 week summer course. Required:
What is the dependent variable?

Our star pitcher, foster enlight, can throw a pitch so fast that it gets to the catcher’s mitt before it leaves foster’s fingers! if the team wins a game then the probability that foster was pitching is 0.8 but only if foster had at least one day’s rest since his last pitching assignment. if foster does not have a day off and the team still wins, the probability that foster was pitching drops by half of what it was on the previous day. if the team wins three games in succession from the toronto tachyons and foster pitched in game #2, what is the probability that he pitched in one or more of the other games? (assume that foster did not pitch on the day before the first game of this three game series.)
