Conclude your report by commenting which methods is more suitable to sample out-door plant density.
Three experiments were conducted in 2014 resulting in 14 plots across varied sowing density, cultivars and environmental conditions. The co ordinates of the plants along the row were measured over RGB high resolution images taken from the ground level. Results show that the spacing between consecutive plants along the row direction are independent and follow a gamma distribution under the varried conditions experienced. A gamma count model was then derived to define the optimal sample size required to estimate plant density for a given precision.
Results suggest that measuring the length of segments containg 90 plants will achieve a precision better than 10%, independently from the plant density. This approach appears more efficient than the usual method based on fixed length segments where the number of plants are counted. The optimal length for a given precision on the density estimation will depend on the actual plant density. The gamma count model parameters may also be used to quantity the heterogeneity of plant spacing along the row by exploiting the variability between replicated samples. Results show that to achieve a 10% precision on the estimates of the 2 parameters of the gamma model , 200 elementary samples corresponding to the spacing between 2 consecutive plants should be measured.
This method provides an optimal sampling strategy to estimate the plant density and quantity the plant spacing heterogeneity along the row.

Exercise 4. Fred is giving out samples of dog food. He makes calls door to door, but he leaves a sample (one can) only on those calls for which the door is answered and a dog is in residence. On any call the probability of the door being answered is 3/4, and the probability that any household has a dog is 2/3. Assume that the events "Door answered" and "A dog lives here" are independent and also that the outcomes...
On your way out of the lab, you shut the door of the temperature controlled, airtight volatiles closet but accidentally left the lid off the brand new, completely full 200L drum of diethyl ether. The volatiles closet is maintained at a steady 25°C and is 4m by 6m by 3m. The vapor pressure of diethyl ether is 470 mm Hg at 25°C. The molar mass of diethyl ether is 74 g/mol and the density is 713 kg/m3. a. What would...

4. A student determines the density of a solid with a pycnometer (see the Sample Report in Chapter I of your text) at 25.0 °C. The weight of the empty, dry pycnometer is 6.2330 g. Some of the solid material is introduced; the weight of the pycnometer plus solid is 39.4156 g. Water (density p 0.997048 g cm-3 at 25.0 °C) is added to fill all space not occupied by the solid; the weight of the pycnometer plus solid plus...
2. You are weeding your garden and accidentally pull out your favorite plant. Luckily it came out intact and looks like it wasn't damaged, so you quickly replant it, and give it water and extra special care. Despite your best efforts, it soon wilts and dies. Explain why the plant was not able to survive. 3. Dendrochronology looks at a sample of wood to recognize past weather patterns. Explain how this is possible.
