Ethnographic Analysis Of Sweetbay
To find variations in twenty sweetbay magnolia leaf sizes, I first, found the measurements for the length, width, and surface area (in centimeters) of the individual leaves. Then, I graphed and arranged the data in a table. The leaves are in relatively the same range and size. Most of these leaves are oval-shaped and green in color. The leaves are not flat, and curve outward from one direction.
The leaves measured two and a half to six centimeters in their width, nine to nineteen and two-tenths centimeters in their length, twenty seven and a half to ninety-six and two tenths centimeters squared for area, twenty three to one-hundred three and a half centimeters squared for surface area. This indicates that the leaves mainly differed through their length rather than their widths. The mean and median for the width were only one-tenth apart, and for the length they were two-tenths apart. Both of the length and width had a larger mean. The mean and median of the surface area were contrasted from those of the length and width with a larger difference between the mean and median (five and eight-tenths difference) and a larger median. In fact, the surface area of the leaves contained larger numbers with a larger range. The range of the surface area being eighty and a half compared to the range of the width being three and a half shows the

They were at most a millimeter apart from each other. The mean, median, mode and range for the widths were less precise than the width. While they were relatively in the same number range, they were farther apart than the widths. The mean, median, mode, and range of the surface area were the farthest apart from each other. Ranging from a five to ten centimeter difference, the statistics for the surface area were least precise out of the data set. This leads to the width having a smallest standard deviation and the surface area having the largest standard

    The collard leaf weight was also recorded (grams), and another single factor ANOVA analysis was performed to provide more information. The P-value in this analysis was 0.903093, again much higher than the α-level. Table 2 summarizes the analysis of the collard leaf weight in high and low densities. Graph 2 also displays visually, the difference in the average leaf weight of the collards. Although the average leaf weight is ever so slightly higher in the low density setting, it is not significantly higher (0.04462 grams in low density as compared to 0.04346 grams in high density).…

    The results for the first fast plant grew taller by three centimeter or five centimeters each week. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. Because of the more fertilizer added to a plant the fast plant grew taller and grew more numbers of leafs. The results for the second fast plant were very similar. The height of the plant had increased by three centimeter to five centimeters. The number of leaves also increased each week by two to three leaves. The last week…

    References: to the ‘amount of light / water’ were accepted as equivalent to light intensity and volume of water, respectively, however students should always be encouraged to use appropriate scientific vocabulary whenever possible. Other creditworthy answers that were seen included age or size of shoots, temperature and soil type. Suggestions such as ‘time’, ‘direction of light’, ‘type of box’ and ‘black plastic used’ gained no marks. Students should always be as specific as possible in answers – responses such as ‘type of conditions’ and ‘surroundings they are grown in’ were clearly weak and gained no credit.…

    Standard deviation is a measure of the data spread and it is signified by the Greek letter sigma (σ). The standard deviation requires calculation of the average, compare each respondent’s value to the average, and square that difference (Burns & Bush, 2012, pg. 252). Therefore, the formula for standard deviation is the square root of the variance. The variance is the average of the squared differences of the mean. The standard deviation explains the density of data scattered around the mean. Curve distribution is a bell shaped curve when data is tightly bunched together. Highly arched bell shaped curves have a small standard deviation. Flat bell shaped curves have a large standard deviation.…

    Our objective was the presence of phenotypic plasticity in avocado trees based on the differences in the morphology of shade and sun leaves. In our study, we asked whether there is a difference in surface area, length-to-width ratio, mass, specific leaf mass, and color between shade leaves and sun leaves in avocado trees. We hypothesized that there would be no significant differences in surface area, length-to-width ratio, mass, specific leaf mass, and color between shade leaves and sun leaves.…
