How does increasing the total number of tosses from 100 to 200 (or more) affect the deviation?

 <span>As a general rule, deviation decreases as you increase the sample size. </span><span>

Think of it this way. You know the average for a toin coss "should" be 50% heads, 50% tails right? 


If you only flip a coin twice, what are the chances this is going to happen? The possible results are: </span>

HH TT HT TH 


In other words, you only have a 50% chance that the outcome will be 50/50, the other two possibilities are zero heads<span>or zero tails which statistically is the complete opposite from 50/50. </span><span>

But, if you toss a coin 100, 200, or more times, you're going to continually get ever closer to that "perfect" 50% Heads, 50% Tails. By the time you've reached 1 million tosses, any deviation from "500,000 heads, 500,000 tails" would be so small that it's irrelevant. 


In other words, the deviation from the statistically perfect outcome continues to decrease the larger the sample size. 


This is why it's important to choose a reasonable sample size. Too small, and results may not be truly representative. Too large, and your results may be far more accurate than you require (i.e., it's a wasted effort). 


There are formulas for working out a viable sample size, given some possible outcomes. Check out Wikipedia's article on Sample Size Determination if you'd like further reading.</span>

At the end of mitosis, __________ daughter cells that are genetically __________ are formed, while at the end of meiosis, ______
Bond [772]

Answer:

At the end of mitosis, __two________ daughter cells that are genetically _____similar_____ are formed, while at the end of meiosis, _____four_____ daughter cells that are genetically _____distinct_____ are formed.

Explanation:there are two types of cell division; mitosis which occurs in somatic cells and meiosis which occurs in reproductive cells.

In mitosis, division occurs once leading to the production of two daughters cells.crossing over does not occur in the chromosome, so the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.

In meiosis,cell division occurs twice ,(meiosis I & II),leading to the production of four daughter cells.

Crossing over occurs,leading to genetic variation in the daughter cells.

A funnel-shaped passageway connecting the nasal and oral cavities to the "voice box".
posledela

Answer:

c. The pharynx

Explanation:

The pharynx is a tubular organ that begins in the funnel-shaped neck down the neck, extending from 12 to 15 cm in length and about 35 mm at its onset and about 15 mm at the end. its ending. It has communication with the esophagus, nasal passages and the ears. The pharynx is located behind the nasal passages and in front of the cervical vertebrae, remains attached to the larynx and esophagus.

Simply put, we can say that the pharynx is a funnel-shaped passageway that connects the nasal and oral cavities to the "voice box," also known as the larynx.
