Answer:

Option (D)- which is fossil 4, as given in the image

Explanation:

From the law of superposition of rocks, it is known that the rock layer forming the bottom of an undisturbed sedimentary sequence are the oldest rocks because they those sediments were first deposited there and due to compaction and lithification it formed a rock layer, and subsequently new sediments are deposited on top of it. The rocks that are found to be present at the apex portion of a rock sequence signifies the youngest rocks, where the recent sediments are deposited.

So the fossils present in the bottom layers will be oldest and those fossils that are present on the top rock layers are the youngest.

Thus, the fossil sample number 4 (trilobites), as given in the image is the oldest fossil.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D), which is fossil 4.

Assume that the red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with a mean of 4.577 million cells per microliter and a

postnew [5]

Answer: C. 82.26%

Explanation:

Given : The red blood cell counts of women are normally distributed with

$\mu=4.577\text{ million cells per microliter}$

$\sigma=0.382\text{ million cells per microliter}$

Let X be the random variable that represents the red blood cell counts of randomly selected woman.

Z-score : $z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}$

For X=4.2

$z=\dfrac{4.2-4.577}{0.382}\approx-0.99$

For X=5.4

$z=\dfrac{5.4-4.577}{0.382}\approx2.1544$

Now, the probability that the women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter will be :-

$P(4.2$

Hence, 82.26% of women have red blood cell counts in the normal range from 4.2 to 5.4 million cells per microliter.

How do animals and people cause weathering?<br><br>How do plants cause weathering ?

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Plants can cause mechanical and chemical weathering

Explanation:

Plants can cause mechanical and chemical weathering. When plants cause mechanical weathering, their roots grow into rocks and crack them.It can also happen in streets or sidewalks. When plants cause chemical weathering, there roots release acid or other chemicals, onto rocks, which then forms cracks, and breaks apart.
