Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep".

Explanation:

One common approach to study a population with a very large number of individuals is to randomly select a sample and perform the study on it. This approach has the advantage that any individual could be selected, which makes more feasible that the sample is representative of the population. In this case, to know the average amount of grass eaten per day by an actual sheep to make a simulation of 20,000 sheep, it is feasible to determine the average daily grass consumption for 20 randomly selected sheep. The 20 sheep must be studied determining the average amount of grass eaten and the variability among the population.

<span>Lipids insulate against the cold. Fat is our natural coat produced by the over eating process. Not really sure, but it comes to mind that the layer under the skin can be the main reason for it as it prevents and keep our inner parts warm. Also the high blood flow that it demands can help by over circulating it.</span>
