In a 10x10 jigsaw puzzle, each piece connects to at most 4 other pieces - top, bottom, left, and right. The corner pieces connect to 2 other pieces, the edge pieces connect to 3, and the rest connect to 4. If you have 2 pieces that don’t directly connect, the minimum number of additional pieces you need to guarantee a connection depends on their relative positions: If the two pieces are corner pieces from the same edge (top, bottom, left, or right), you need 1 additional piece to connect them. If the two pieces are corner pieces from different edges, you need 2 additional pieces to connect them. If one piece is a corner piece and the other is an edge piece on the same edge, you need 1 additional piece to connect them. If one piece is a corner piece and the other is an edge piece on a different edge, you need 2 additional pieces to connect them. If both pieces are edge pieces on the same edge, you need 1 additional piece to connect them. If both pieces are edge pieces on different edges, you need 2 additional pieces to connect them. If one or both pieces are inside pieces (not on an edge), you need 2 additional pieces to connect them. So, in the worst-case scenario, you need to draw 2 additional pieces to guarantee that the original 2 pieces connect. This would be the case if the two pieces are on different edges or if one or both are inside pieces. In all other cases, you would only need to draw 1 additional piece.

did an analysis of dropout from the nursing faculty at the Universidad Veracruzana. With a poblation of 122 students, it turned out that according to the gender data, the female sex predominates with 82%, and the male sex male is found with 12%. The main factors why students drop out are, first of all, "Not "re-enrolled" at 49%, second place "Personal reasons" at 20%, third place "change of school" in 11%, "lack of documents" and "economic reasons" in 7%, change of residence and lack of social service in 3%. Of this sample, how many students dropped out for other reasons?

The boxplot below is of the sodium contents levels taken from a random sample of 30 bottles. With this data investigate the claim using SPSS to apply the appropriate test. Download the data and transfer it into SPSS. Check that your data transfer has been successful by obtaining the Std. Error of the mean for your data which should appear in SPSS output as 0.03900.. If you do not have this exact value, then you may have not transferred your data from the Excel file to SPSS correctly. Do not continue with the test until your value agrees as otherwise you may not have correct answers. Unless otherwise directed you should report all numeric values to the accuracy displayed in the SPSS output that is supplied when your data has been transferred correctly. In the following questions, all statistical tests should be carried out at the 0.05 significance level. Sample mean and median Complete the following concerning the mean and median of the data. mean =  mg/L 95% CI:  to  mg/L Based upon the 95% confidence interval, is it plausible that the average sodium content is 36.9 mg/L?      median:  mg/L The median value is      36.9 mg/L. Skewness Complete the following concerning the skewness of the data. Skewness statistic =        Std. Error =  The absolute value of the skewness statistic     less than 2 x Std. Error Therefore the data can be considered to come from a population that is      . Normality test Complete the following summary concerning the formal testing of the normality of the data. H0: The data come from a population that     normal H1: The data come from a population that     normal Application of the Shapiro-Wilk test indicated that the normality assumption     reasonable for sodium content (S-W(  )=  , p=   ). Main test Using the guidelines you have been taught that consider sample size, skewness and normality, choose and report the appropriate main test from the following ( Appropriate ONE ) You have selected that you wish to report the one-sample t-test. H0: The mean sodium content     equal to 36.9 mg/L H1: The mean sodium content     equal to 36.9 mg/L Application of the one-sample t-test indicated that the mean is      36.9 mg/L (t(  ) =  , p =   ). You have selected that you wish to report the Wilcoxon signed rank test. H0: The median sodium content     equal to 36.9 mg/L H1: The median sodium content     equal to 36.9 mg/L Application of the Wilcoxon signed rank test indicated that the median is      36.9 mg/L (z =  , N =  , p =   ).
