Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.

As the sample size increases, the t-distribution becomes more similar to the ________ distribution. a. normal b. binomial c. chi
kvv77 [185]

As the sample size increases, the t-distribution becomes more similar to the <u>normal</u> distribution.

<u>Option:</u> A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Student t-distribution is any member of a group or family of constant probability distributions that emerge in circumstances where the sample size is limited and the standard deviation of the population is unspecified when calculating the mean of a naturally distributed population.

The z-distribution implies you are conscious of the normal population deviation (never in case) when used for sample means. The t-distribution is focused on using the standard sample deviation as an approximation of the standard deviation in population.

How do scientists obtain knowledge about the world?
Sphinxa [80]
Well, scientists depend on science.They use the process of observation. But there are processes for these. The processes are;
Asking a question; Scientists wonder how specific happenings can be explained, they look for an answer.
They perform research; the scientists study the  particular thing, and look for reasons for a particular happening.
They form a hypothesis; a hypothesis is a statement which is not universally true, they are observations that haven't been agreed upon.
They test their hypothesis; they perform experiments to find out if their hypothesis is true.
They analyse the data and draw a conclusion; they record their hypothesis and write down their end result.
They pass across their result; they pass their new observation across to other people.
