D) Fossils could not be found in that layer of rock.
Answer:
a) 99.93%
b) 99.98%
Explanation:
Given that:
Total population size was only around 18 individuals ( for black-footed ferret)
If the annual survival rate in the wild was 0.4%.
a)
What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year?
To find that; we multiply the annual survival rate in the wild with the total population; which is:
(0.4%×18) = 0.072%
Then; we subtract it from a total of 100% in order to determine the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year.
= (100.00% - 0.072%)
= 99.93%
b)
What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present?
Given that;
Because of the presence of canine distemper disease, the annual mortality rate might have been as high as 0.89.
To determine the probability; we have:
1 - Annual mortality rate = annual survival rate
1 - 0.89 = 0.11 %
Therefore, 0.11% of 18 individuals = (0.0011 × 18)
= 0.0198%
Probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present = 100 - probability of annual survival rate
= (100 - 0.0198)%
= 99.98%

Amino acids are small molecules that contain carbon, hydrogen oxygen, and nitrogen atoms. Nucleic acids building blocks are nucleotides which are connected to form long chains,</span>
Leaves are green because of the presence of chlorophyll. The chlorophyll helps the plant in absorbing the lights lights having red and blue wavelengths. It actually reflects the lights with green wavelength. The chlorophyll helps the plants in making food. I hope that this is the answer that has come to your help.
