Answer:

variations in great horned owl body size due to food supply can be acted on by natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection can help select great horned owl with smaller body size since it's an advantage in a place with smaller available food sources, compared to a bigger body size that will need more food. At first, birds with smaller body survive while those bigger ones die out, and the smaller birds pass on this genes to their offspring.

Answer:

variation in body size due to inherited traits can be acted on by natural selection

Explanation :

Variations in body size in body size due to inherited trait can be acted upon by natural selection by favoring the size that is best suited for the survival of the species. Those with these genes survive and pass it on to their offspring, while those with the unfavorable body size are wiped out.

Which data set has the largest standard deviation

AfilCa [17]

Answer:

<em>The data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation</em>

Explanation:

<u>Standard Deviation</u>

It's a number used to show how a set of measurements is spread out from the average value. A low standard deviation means that most of the values are close to the average. A high standard deviation means that the numbers are more spread out.

The formula for the standard deviation is

$\displaystyle \sigma=\sqrt{\frac{\sum (x_i-\mu)^2}{n}}$

Where $x_i$ is the value of each measurement, n is the number of elements in the set, and $\mu$ is the average or media of the values, defined as

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{\sum x_i}{n}$

Let's analyze each set of data:

A.3,4,3,4,3,4,3

The average is

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{3+4+3+4+3+4+3}{7}=3.43$

Computing the stardard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2+(4-3.43)^2+(3-3.43)^2}{7}}$

$\sigma=0.5$

B.1,6,3,15,4,12,8

The average is

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{1+6+3+15+4+12+8}{7}=7$

Computing the stardard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(1-7)^2+(6-7)^2+(3-7)^2+(15-7)^2+(4-7)^2+(12-7)^2+(8-7)^2}{7}}$

$\sigma=4.7$

C. 20, 21,23,19,19,20,20

The average is

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{20+21+23+19+19+20+20}{7}=20.29$

Computing the stardard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(20-20.29)^2+(21-20.29)^2+(23-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(19-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2+(20-20.29)^2}{7}}$

$\sigma=1.3$

D.12,14,13,14,12,13,12

The average is

$\displaystyle \mu=\frac{12+14+13+14+12+13+12}{7}=12.86$

Computing the stardard deviation:

$\sigma=\sqrt{\frac{(12-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(14-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2+(13-12.86)^2+(12-12.86)^2}{7}}$

$\sigma=0.8$

We can see the data set marked as B has the largest standard deviation

A bicycle travels 141 m along a circular track of radius 30 m. What is the angular displacement in radians of the bicycle from i

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer: 4.7rad

Explanation:

Angular displacement =s/r

Where s=distance traveled

r=radius

Angular displacement =141m/30m

Angular displacement =4.7rad.
