A new fertilizer is to be tested on tomato plants to determine if it increases the production of the plants. The available land is divided into eight plots. Four of the plots are on a hill and four are in a valley as shown. The plots in the valley are expected to get more water due to the influence of gravity, and those on the hill will get more direct sunlight. A randomized block design will be used, using two blocks of four plots each. Which of the following blocking schemes would be most appropriate?
- A.
  
  Plots 1, 2, 3, and 4 in one block and plots 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the other.
- B.
  
  Plots 1, 2, 5, and 6 in one block and plots 3, 4, 7, and 8 in the other.
- C.
  
  Plots 1, 4, 5, and 8 in one block and plots 2, 3, 6, and 7 in the other.
- D.
  
  Plots 1, 3, 6, and 8 in one block and plots 2, 4, 5, and 7 in the other.
- E.
  
  The plots should be randomly assigned to blocks.

Biologists have two different methods for estimating the growth rate of a population of animals. One is based on counting the number of animals in a photographic image, and the other is based on a computer-calculated surface area of the animals in the image. (Larger animals are generally older and contribute more to reproduction.) The scatterplot below shows the estimates of the Population Growth Rate (PGR) for each method along with the line y = x. Which statement is true based on the scatterplot.
- A.
  
  The surface area method overestimates the Population Growth Rate.
- B.
  
  The count method underestimates the Population Growth Rate.
- C.
  
  Both methods overestimate the Population Growth rate.
- D.
  
  Both methods give accurate estimates of the Population Growth Rate.
- E.
  
  There is not enough information to tell how well either method estimates the actual Population Growth Rate.
