Step-by-step explanation: Ants are one of the most abundant insects on our planet and the reasons are their eusocial, complex societal behaviors and their ability to survive in many and various ecosystems. Like most other animal societies, reproduction is one of the core reasons why ants are so prevalent.

Acrobat Ant

Reproduction for ants is a complex phenomenon that involves finding, selecting and successfully fertilizing females to ensure that the eggs laid are able to survive and molt through the successive stages of the ant’s life cycle – larvae, pupae and adults.

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

Start: 50

After 1 day: 50 * 1.1

After 2 days: 50 * 1.1 * 1.1 = 50 * 1.1^2

After 3 days: 50 * 1.1^2 * 1.1 = 50 * 1.1^3

...

After 5 days: 50 * 1.1^5 = 80.53

Answer: 81

I'm really confused about this. Probabilities have always been a pain for me and I really don't understand this
nordsb [41]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The first thing to notice is the question says it is given that the person is between the ages 23 and 60, so we only care about those people. So then we want to know how likely it would be to pick someone with over 50 messages a month. So what you would do is take the amount of people who are between 23 and 60 and send over 50 text messages, and divide that by the total amount of people 23-60 (since that is the pool of people we have). Doing so we find there is 229 people aged 23-60 which then makes the answer 157/229 or A.

0.125 = WP

Change your decimal into a percent by multiplying by 100%

12.5% is your result.

A line passes through (2,-1) and (4,5)
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope-intercept form, y = mx + c

Where c = intercept

Slope, m =change in value of y on the vertical axis / change in value of x on the horizontal axis

change in the value of y = y2 - y1

Change in value of x = x2 -x1

y2 = final value of y

y 1 = initial value of y

x2 = final value of x

x1 = initial value of x

The line passes through (2,-1) and (4,5),

y2 = 5

y1 = - 1

x2 = 4

x1 = 2

Slope,m = (5 - - 1)/(4 - 2) = 6/2 = 3

To determine the intercept, we would substitute x = 4, y = 5 and m= 3 into y = mx + c. It becomes

5 = 3 × 4 + c

c = 5 - 12 = - 7

The equation becomes

y = 3x - 7
