The average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago was reported to be $1,800 in 2024. A researcher believes that the average rent has increased since then. To test this claim, a random sample of 35 one-bedroom apartments is taken, and the sample mean rent is found to be $1,850 with a standard deviation of $120.  Using a significance level of 0.05, is there enough evidence to conclude that the average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Chicago has increased? Be sure to show the complete testing process (population, method, sample, results, conclusion). The test output is included in the Sample Step.

Based on the box plot from the previous question and the descriptive statistics below, which value would you report as the typical number of miles driven on 8/6/2025 for this sample of drivers?

Assuming all other factors are held constant, if the sample size increases, the…

Upload an image of your answers to this question. If you decided to use a PIPES buffer (piperazine-N,N’-bis(2-ethanesulfonic acid)) instead of the HEPES buffer as described in this procedure, how many moles of the protonated form of PIPES and how many moles of deprotonated form of PIPES would you have to add to 1.0 liter of water to prepare a 0.10 M PIPES buffer at pH 7.5?  Show your work for full or partial credit. The appropriate pKa is 6.76.  

A 90% confidence interval for the population mean number of miles driven by delivery drivers is calculated as (72.63, 87.37). Which of the following represents the point estimate for the population mean number of miles driven?

This figure shows the fraction or percent of myoglobin or hemoglobin O2 binding sites occupied on the y-axis as a function of O2 partial pressure shot on the x-axis. The middle Hb blue curve is for normal Hb. The right-hand red Hb curve reflects the shift in the bonding affinity of Hb in response to a drop in pH, whereas the left-hand green Hb curve reflects the change in response to an increase in pH.     Diagram citation Wikimedia Commons (Public Domain)  Image Description  Graph depicting hemoglobin oxygen saturation percentage against oxygen partial pressure (mmHg). Three curves represent different pH levels: green for pH 7.8 (alkalosis hypocapnia), blue for pH 7.4 (normal), and red for pH 7.0 (acidosis hypercapnia). The y-axis ranges from 0 to 100%, indicating hemoglobin oxygen saturation, while the x-axis ranges from 0 to 120 mmHg, indicating oxygen partial pressure. The curves show the relationship between oxygen binding and blood pH. Which of these curves shows the greatest affinity for O2? (1 pt.) Which one of the two shifted Hb curves, right or left, would result in the release of the most O2 to the cells, if the lung pO2 decreases from 100 torr to 60 torr and the pO2 of the tissues remains the same at 27 torr? Briefly justify your answer. (2 pts.)

In the procedure, the authors state that the purified protein was S-alkylated, meaning that a saturated carbon was attached to an S atom on the protein of interest before it is subjected to further purification by HPLC. Briefly explain why it is desirable to treat the reduced protein with iodoacetic acid (ICH2CO2H) before HPLC. 

A random sample of car ads were studied and the horsepower​ and car’s selling price were collected. ​You have obtained the graph and regression equation below to determine if the horsepower can be used to predict a car’s selling price. Car Price = 3643 + 67.91(Horsepower) What does the slope of the line indicate?

Treatment of a polypeptide with cyanogen bromide (chemically selectively cleaves peptide bonds on the carboxy side of Met residues) followed by Edman degradation of each of these fragments, gave these four fragment sequences. 1. Asp-Ile-Lys-Gln-Met, 2. Lys, 3. Lys-Phe-Ala-Met, 4. Tyr-Arg-Gly-Met  Trypsin hydrolysis of the same polypeptide followed by Edman degradation of each fragment gave these four sequences. 1. Gln-Met-Lys, 2. Gly-Met-Asp-Ile-Lys, 3. Phe-Ala-Met-Lys, 4. Tyr-Arg  Based on this information, write out the sequence of the peptide.

Pyruvate may also be converted to an amino acid in a single step. Give each of the following: the three-letter code or the name of the amino acid formed in this reaction a generalized enzyme name that describes this reaction type the names or acceptable abbreviations for any necessary cofactors for the reaction
