  1. There are I think nine possible permutations(P) of test tubes without the variable of the lighting (lit) represented in the following matrix. column a represents first organism (org) column b represents second org I split it up into three groups(G) representing the value of three possibilities(pos) of the first org there are then three ordered pairs in each G based on the three pos of the second org. A,B G 1 0,0 0,1 0,2 G 2 1,0 1,1 1,2 G 3 2,0 2,1 2,2 To add to this matrix I added the third variable of lit I added sets (S) in between the individual level and the G level (Oh and if someone could tell me what the technical term for the individual level is I would really appreciate it) A,B,C G 1 S 1 0,0,0 0,1,0 0,2,0 S 2 0,0,1 0,1,1 0,2,1 G 2 S 1 1,0,0 1,1,0 1,2,0 S 2 1,0,1 1,1,1 1,2,1 G 3 S 1 2,0,0 2,1,0 2,2,0 S 2 2,0,1 2,1,1 2,2,1 I think I got it right but the basic math behind what I did (I think) is org 1 pos * org 2 pos * lit or in simple terms G 1 * G 2 * G 3= total # of P
  2. I'm doing a biology lab and was wondering, a basic version is this I can either put 0 1 or 2 of two types of organisms in a test tube and the test tube can then either be put into the dark or the light. I was wondering how many test tubes I will need to conduct this experiment. I'm thinking that you would multiply 3 by 3 by 2 because there are 3 possible number of each organism and their is 2 places they could be put. If someone could explain how to do this type of problem I would be very grateful. I don't actually need to fill all possibilities, just enough to answer some lab questions, which I have answered before I did anything. I was just wondering what the formula would be to find out how many possibilities there are as I like going above and beyond the requirements, and it seems like a fun lab and want to exploit it to the fullest.
  3. Hi I'd David, I go by davidandkaze and sometimes dffrtcd here on the interwebs I'm 16 still technically in the ninth grade though only by 7 credits and should be getting out sometime in the next month or two I have an IQ of about 140 and I think thats about it.
  4. I have been wondering for a long time, since my brother said we were the most efficient, what is the most efficient animal when running in terms of both distance and i forget the term but it's basically number of body lengths traveled.
