    B How to compare 2 means?

    We have a question where we're testing the hypothesis that a certain diet (call it diet A) causes weight loss. We get ##n_1## people who we put on diet A (treatment group) and another ##n_2## people who we keep on a normal diet (control group). We find that the mean weight loss in the treatment...

    Valid conclusion for an absolutely convergent sequence

    Hello, this is my attempt for #19 for 11.6 of Stewart's “Multivariable Calculus”. The question is to determine whether the series is absolutely convergent, conditionally convergent, or divergent. The answer solutions used a ratio test to reach the same conclusion but I used the comparison test...

    Potassium Bichromate/Dichromate

    Hello All I have a reference in a 1930s journal to potassium bichromate. Is this the same as potassium dichromate K2Cr2O7 ? ie dichromate is the modern terminaology to use. Searching on the www almost always finds the dichromate when I search for the bichromate, but maybe this is just the...

    Parent/Child Genome Comparison: 100,000 Years Ago

    Let's say you know you are given the full genome of 2 individuals such that they are related as father/son or mother/daughter, that they both died at age 30 some 100 k years ago.

    Vaporization Heat and the Heat Capacity of H20 comparison

    According to the Vaporization Heat table, the heat needed for 1 mol of H2O to evaporate at 100°C is 40.7KJ and 44.0KJ/mol is needed to evaporate H2O at 25°C. Thus 44.0-40.7=3.7KJ is the energy needed to heat H2O to 100°C from 25°C. However, according to the heat capacity of H2O, 3.7KJ will only...

    Tension forces of two wires in comparison to the gravitational force

    The correct answer is the second one. I honestly have no idea why this is so. I understand that the right rope has less tension that the left one since it's at a shallower angle from real world experience, but I don't really know why this is so, let alone how the forces compare to gravitational...
