Answer:

Darwin's theory is based on four observations:

  1. Members of a population of the same species vary in their traits.
  2. Traits can be inherited, or passed from parents to offspring.
  3. Populations are capable of producing more offspring than the environment can support.
  4. Due to a lack of food or other resources, many of the offspring do not survive.

Natural selection will only occur if all these points can be observed and followed.

Explanation:

According to Darwin, organisms that are better adapted to the environment have greater chances of survival than those less adapted, leaving a greater number of descendants. The best adapted organisms are therefore selected for that environment.

What will happen to India’s economy in 50 years?
salantis [7]
Indian economy is set to expand at the world's fastest rate over the next 50 years to emerge as a major force globally, but it would still rank as the second worst in terms of prosperity of its citizens.

Over the 50-year period between 2011-2060, India will register an annual economic growth rate of 4.9%, as per a latest report by Paris-based international grouping of the world's leading economies, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

India's per-person GDP (measure of well-being of a country's citizens) will also grow more than 7-fold during this period, but the country will still rank at second place from the bottom by 2060 in absolute terms, said the report.

Dubbing

Explanation:

<u>It is a common technique used in cinema to paste one person's voice over another to produce a desirable effect including the emulation of a proper voice for a specific role as is the case here.</u>

This was done to be as authentic about Welles' voice as was possible and not to break the immersion of the audience watching the film and familiar with Orson Welles.

Natali [406]

Answer:

The response to the question is a discrete random variable.

Explanation:

By definition of a discrete random variable we infer that the response can only take certain known values  but the response shall be completely random. As an example when we toss a fair coin the out comes are discrete as only either head or tail is possible and the outcome is random meaning we cannot predict the outcome before hand.

Similarly an continuous random variable takes any value in a set and there are infinitely many possible values it can take. For example if we choose any real number between 1 and 10. Since the answers are infinitely many in number and are completely random.

Now in our survey we can infer that the responses shall be either "yes I smoked last week" or "No i didn't smoke last week". Hence the variables are discrete and random.
