We observe a frog that carries its babies on its back away from where the eggs hatched. Below are two questions about this observation.
(X) Does the frog do this to move the babies to place where they will be safer?
(Y) Why does the frog expend time and energy moving its offspring from the place where they were “born”?
Which of the two is a true causal question?
a. X, because this is the more specific of the two questions
b. X, because we can test this idea but not the idea presented in Y
c. Y, because this statement tells what we should expect to find in nature
d. Y, because it is not a hypothesis itself but could be answered by a hypothesis
Homework Answers
the Option b is the correct option because the idea that is presented by the X can be tested but the Y can not be tested. This is because the place where the babies are taken can be checked and tested while the question in the second case cannot be tested.

Suppose you observe iid samples X1,…,Xn∼P from some
unknown distribution P. Let F denote a parametric
family of probability distributions (for example, F could be the
family of normal distributions {N(μ,σ2)}μ∈R,σ2>0).
In the topic of goodness of fit testing, our
goal is to answer the question "Does P
belong to the family F, or is P
any distribution outside of F
?"

Note that the entries of C are all the letters of the English alphabet (upper-case and lower-case) which are not included in V. Bob was not convinced that...

1a) Suppose a population of guppies was infected with a
parasite. In that population a mutation results in a parasite
resistant genotype that spreads through the population through
natural selection. A subsequent mutation in the parasite results in
a genotype that is unaffected by the newly evolved resistant guppy
genotype. What is the name of the hypothesis that explains this
host parasite “arms race”.?
