Survivorship curve = so, first of all, it's a curve, as in a graph.
It describes "survivorship" - the rate of survival, in other words: out of 100 organisms that are born, how many survive. This rate is different among species, for example, most humans live out to most of their life span, and almost all can survive well beyond a reproductive age.
However, in frogs for example, many many individuals are born, but only few can survive to adulthood: most die very young, before reproductive age.
So if you hear about a new species: let's say dogs, and you want to know how long they would live, you would look at their sirvivorship curve (and in some breeds of dogs, those that are likely not to be in shelters, but in homes, the survivorship curve would be similar as in humans: almost all individuals born can live long.
Fastest is o over a hundred knots per hour slowest is from under one knot per hour
Answer:
The t-test
Explanation:
<em>The researcher should use a t-test to compare the two means and check if they are significantly different from each other.</em>
In using the t-test, both null (H0) and alternate (H1) hypothesis are made such that:
Thereafter, the value of t is calculated and compared to its critical value on the table. The formula for calculating the t goes thus:
where, Y1 = mean of population 1, Y2 = mean of population 2, S1 = variance of population 1, S2 = variance of population 2, n1 = number of individuals in population 1 and s2 = number of individuals in population 2.
<em>At the end of the day, if the calculated t value is more than the critical value of t, the H0 is rejected and it shows that the two means are significantly different. Otherwise, the H0 is accepted and this shows that there is not significant difference between the mean of population 1 and that of 2.</em>
A) is your best answer.
Relative Dating gives the 'relative dating', which allows one to find the difference of age between many different of fossils. However, radioactive dating is used to get a more exact measurement of a fossil, but it can only be used for certain types of fossils.
hope this helps
