Genetic testing is not 100% accurate so it should not influence medical treatment, although it does find down-syndrome in a child in a mother's womb and cancer in breast cancer patients, it does have errors and can be wrong.

Which of the following is a true statement about lava that contains large amounts of dissolved gases? Lava that produces violent

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The dissolved gases produce violent eruption as they escape. 

Explanation:

Magma contains dissolved gases and these dissolved gases induce vapor pressure on the magma. The magma is able to remain in the dissolved state itself without erupting because this vapor pressure is less than the confining pressure of the rock surrounding the magma. 

One the vapor pressure exceeds this confining pressure the dissolved gases begin to expand and forms small gas bubbles.

The density of these gas bubbles called vesicles is less than the density of magma and thus naturally tries to push out. When the gas bubbles escape the magma is also pushed out. Thus greater amount of dissolved gases result in violent eruptions.

For a particular species of wolf, 55% are female, 20% hunt in medium-sized packs, and 15% are both female and hunt in medium-siz

lorasvet [3.4K]

*Given
Percent of the wolves which are female - 55%
Percent of the wolves which hunt
in medium-sized packs - 20%
Percent of the wolves which are both
female and hunt in medium-sized
packs - 15%

*Solution

Assuming that there is a total of one hundred wolves in the species, 

1. Since percent (%) means "per 100" or "for every 100" then,

a. The number of female wolves is

(55 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 55 female wolves

b. The number of wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

(20 wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 20 wolves

Note that the 20 wolves is a mixture of male and female wolves.

c. The number of female wolves that hunt in medium-sized packs is

(15 female wolves / 100 wolves) * 100 wolves total = 15 female wolves

2. Because there is a total of 55 female wolves in the species, and 15 of these wolves hunt in medium-sized packs, then the number of female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs is,

55 female wolves total - 15 female wolves hunting = 40 female wolves not
in medium-sized packs hunting in medium
sized packs

3. To find the proportion, we can express the answer in terms of percent (%) or in fraction, which is usually how proportions are expressed.

For every 100 wolves, there are 40 female wolves that do not hunt in medium-sized packs. This can be expressed as a proportion of

 40 
 100

and simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get,

 40/10 
 100/10

 4 
 10

When this is expressed in percent, we multiply the fraction or proportion by 100% to get,

 4 x 100% = 40%
 10

Thus, the proportion of female wolves that do not hunt in medium sized packs is 4/10 or 0.4. When expressed as percent, this is 40%.
