6-10. Prepare an appropriate graph comparing the two data sets. Include labels, scales, units, titles, etc The best graph: Bar graph comparing the mean infant mortality rates for SA and ME. Any other type graph for this problem would not be appropriate. Include a title such as: Mean Infant Mortality Rates for SA and ME and include the units for infant mortality rate and a proper scale on the vertical axis.

11. _____a______
12. A 100 kilogram tree log that has been completely dried contains about 45 kilograms of stored carbon. How many kilograms of carbon dioxide were removed from the atmosphere to produce the carbon in a 550 kilogram (dry mass) tree log?

a. 225 kilograms b. more than 225 kilograms drawn from the data.

c. less than 225 kilograms

d. No conclusion can be

13. A pine tree has a diameter of 24 cm at 1.4 meters above ground. How much tree biomass (dried wood) is above ground (calculation)? Place your answer here (Trees and Carbon Lab) M = mass of carbon in the dried wood above ground logM = -1.25 + 2.66*log(D) logM = -1.25 + (2.66)*log(24) = -1.25 + (2.66)(1.38) = -1.25 + 3.67 = logM = 2.42 M = antilog (2.42) = 10^2.42 = 263 kg ________263 kg____________ 14. If a pine tree with a diameter of 200. cm were harvested and completely burned, how much carbon dioxide (kilograms) would be released into the atmosphere (calculation)? Place your answer here: (Based on lab #7, Trees and Carbon Lab) LogM = -1.41 + (2.76)(Log10D) = -1.41 + (2.76)(Log10(200)) = -1.41 + 6.35 LogM = 4.94 AntilogM = M = 87096

Note: 200 cm diameter is correct, not 24 cm.

M = 87096 kg of dry tree biomass above ground Each kg of dry tree corresponds to 1.65 kg of CO2 Taken together,

Mass of CO2 = (M)(1.65) = (87096)(1.65) = 143700 kg CO2 released into the atmosphere when this tree is burned.

Alternatively, we can also use another form of the equation to estimate the mass:
logM = -1.25 + 2.66*log(200) LogM = -1.25 + 6.12 LogM = 4.87 AntilogM = M =74131 Kg dry wood

Using this estimate, the mass of CO2 would be: Mass of CO2 = (M)(1.65) = (74131)(1.65) = 122316 kg CO2 released into the atmosphere when this tree is burned.

Acceptable range of answers: about 120000 to 190000 lbs of CO2 released to the atmosphere.
