The moore family owns a 20- acre mini farm. They have 2 acres of apple trees that are 28 feet apart and 1.5 acres of peach trees that are 20 feet apart. The trees are set far enough apart to allow room to drive between them. The apple trees average 12 bushels per tree selling for $11.25 per one-half bushel. The peach trees average 4.8 bushels per tree selling for $7.50 per peck. They have a large strawberry patch that yielded 3,400 quarts. Half of the patch was picked by the public at $2.25 per quart with 27 1/2 percent loss. For the other half, they hired pickers at $0.75 per quart and sold the berries for $3.50 per quart. They planted 1.5 acres of sweet corn. They made three plantings one week apart. They had a population of 20,000 plants per acre, 80 percent of the plants marketable ears that were sold for $3.50 per dozen. They had a 12 percent loss of the marketable ears that were not sold. They had a large tomato patch that averaged 45 pounds of tomatoes per day for 95 days. They sold the tomatoes for $1.50 per pound. They had an average loss of 20.5 percent from unsold tomatoes. The children had a pumpkin patch that yielded 224 pumpkins. They had 120 large pumpkins selling for $3.50 per pumpkin, 78 smaller pumpkins selling for $2 per pumpkin, and the remaining pumpkins were given to their friends. Their total expense was $46,543.65 not counting their labor. What was their income from their mini farm?

Study published in the journal of personality and individual differences found that adults with adhd displayed more creative achievement than those who didn't have the disorder. "for the same reason that adhd might create problems, like distraction, it can also allow an openness to new ideas," says holly white, assistant professor of cognitive psychology. "not being completely focused on a task lets the mind make associations that might not have happened otherwise." white and priti shah at the university of michigan gave 60 college students – half of them with adhd – a series of tests measuring creativity across 10 domains. the adhd group scored higher across the board. the adhd group showed more of a preference for brainstorming and generating ideas than the non-adhd group, which preferred refining and clarifying ideas. the adhd status of the participants was established by asking whether the individual had ever been clinically diagnosed with adhd/add. the tests of creativity were pencil-and-paper tasks administered in a laboratory setting. each of the ten scales was comprised of multiple questions, the scores on which were summed (e.g., writing creativity: "how many words can you make from the letters in the word 'psychology' invention creativity: "write down as many uses for a paper clip that you can think of.") this procedure does allow for a participant to be scored as showing no creativity under these conditions. a) state the research question in plain language (i wonder if is related to (1 point) b) state the null hypothesis (1 point) c) state the research hypothesis (1 point) d) is the research hypothesis directional or non-directional (1 point) e) name the predictor / independent variable f) give the operational definition of the predictor / independent variable g) evaluate the construct validity of the predictor / independent variable.
