Fewer sunspots on the Sun between 1645 and 1715 resulted in ______________ in North America and Europe.

The Sun’s structure is uniform throughout its interior and has no evidence of different layers.

Erupting prominences can affect communications, navigational systems, and power grids and produce auroras

Sunspots have had an effect on Earth’s climate in the past.

Flamelike jets of gas rising upward into the chromosphere are called _________________.

Loops of glowing gas ejected from the sun are called ________________.

About how much bigger is the Sun than Earth?

Sign in to the MediaLab. website (using your username and password that you received from the Program Director) and complete a 50-question test with Microbiology.   Go to ‘selected areas’ and check the Microbiology box and all boxes under this section (to EXCLUDE the Analtyic procedures for Mycology, Mycobacteriology, Parasitology, and Virology).   This exam is proctored. You must score at least 75%. You may (and should) retake the exam as many times as you can without repeating a previous exam to get that score. The instructor will pull grades from Medialab to Canvas. There is nothing to submit.

The average height for an NCAA Division 1 men’s basketball player is 77 inches. Assume this data is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 8 inches. Use this information to answer the following question.    What is the probability that a randomly selected NCAA D1 men’s basketball player is more than 73.5 inches tall? Make sure to round your answer to 2 decimal places (For example, if your answer was 0.654321 then you would type 0.65)

Eliza had a long commute to work each day and she was always worried about running late. When it came to distance, both drives were the same number of miles from her home, but one of them had a few more stoplights on her way. She wanted to find the most consistent route so she could know exactly how long it would take her to go to work each day. She decided to travel each route 32 times and recorded how long it took each time to make an informed decision. On her 32 trips using route A, she took an average of 40 minutes with a standard deviation of 5.5 minutes. On her 32 trips using route B, she took an average of 40 minutes with a standard deviation of 6.6 minutes. Assume the commute times using both routes are normally distributed.    Use this information to carry out the appropriate hypothesis test at the
