The correct answer is (a.) a parsec. A parsec is a distance an object would be from Earth if its parallax were one arcsecond. This unit of measurement is usually used in astronomy which makes it easier for astronomers to calculate or measure in space accurately.
Answer: (a) Z-score are 1 and -1.2 for northern and southern regions, respectively.
Explanation: <u>Z-score</u> is how many standard deviations a data is from the population mean or how far a data point is from the mean.
The z-score is calculated by the following:

where
x is the data point
μ is population mean
σ is standard deviation
For the <u>northern</u> <u>region</u> birds:
μ = 10, σ = 3, x = 13

z = 1
The z-score for birds living in the northern region is 1, which means it is 1 standard deviation <em>above the mean</em>.
For the southern region:
μ = 16, σ = 2.5, x = 13

z = -1.2
The z-score for southern living birds is -1.2, meaning it is 1.2 standard deviations <em>below the mean</em>.
Answer:
t = 1.02 s
Explanation:
The computation of the time required is shown below:
The package speed for belt is
= 3 - 1
= 2 m/s
Moreover, the decelerative force would be acted on the block i.e u.m.g
So, the decelerative produced
= 0.2 × 9.81
= 1.962 m/s^2
And, final velocity = 0
v = u - at
here
V = 0 = final velocity
u = 2 m/s
so,
0 = 2 - 1.962 × t
t = 1.02 s
