To estimate the total population size of these insects living in a 50 square kilometer forest, biologists have sampled random trees, counting the number of eggs and larvae on each randomly selected tree. Which of these factors MOST directly impacts the accuracy of this estimate?
A)
the number of trees sampled


B)

Answer: Option A: The number of trees sampled.

The accuracy can be understood as how close is the measured value to the true value.   The aim is to monitor the population size of the insect pest in a 50 square kilometer. Random trees are selected, and number of eggs and larvae are counted. So, the measured value would be closer to actual value when the number of trees sampled are increased. More the number of trees sampled, less would be the chances of error and the accuracy of the estimate would increase.

How to change V=72km/hr to m/s
lapo4ka [179]
Multiply by (1000 meters / 1 km).
Then multiply by (1 hour / 3600 seconds).

Both of those fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because the top
and bottom numbers are equal, so the multiplications
won't change the VALUE of the 72 km/hr.  They'll only
change the units.

(72 km/hour) · (1000 meters / 1 km) · (1 hour / 3600 seconds)

= (72 · 1000 / 3600) (km·meter·hour / hour·km·second)

=  20 meter/second

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?
Alex Ar [27]
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities. 

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc. 

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.
