A backpacker wants to carry enough fuel to heat 2.5 kg of water from \(25\ ^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) to \(100.0\ ^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\). If the fuel she carries produces 36 kJ of heat per gram when it burns, how much fuel should she carry? (For the sake of simplicity, assume that the transfer of heat is 100

There is a great deal of folklore about the effects of the full moon on humans and other animals. Do animals bite humans more during a full moon? In an attempt to study this question, Bhattacharjee et al. (2000) collected data on admissions to a medical facility for treatment of bites by animals: cat
