Answer:

1/12,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Size of a population of mustard plants = 6,000

Now,

According to genetic drift theory

The probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed is given using the formula

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 × Size of a population of mustard plants ]

⇒ 1 ÷ [ 2 ×6,000 ]

⇒ [ 1 ÷ 12,000 ]

Hence,

probability that a newly-arisen mutation will become fixed in this population is 1/12,000

A coach purchases 47 hats for his players and their families at a total cost of $302. The cost of a small hat is $5.50. A medium
bazaltina [42]
First, we define variables:
 x: small hat
 y: medium hat
 z: large hat
 We now write the system of equations:
 x + y + z = 47
 5.50x + 6y + 7z = 302
 -3x + y = 0
 We can write the system in matrix form as:
 Ax = b
 Where,
 A = [1  1  1; 5.50  6  7; -3  1  0]
 b = [47;  302;  0]
 x = [x;  y ;  z]
 Solving the system we have:
 x = 6
 y = 18
 z = 23
 Answer:
 
the coach did purchase 23 large hats

Which is a better estimate for the weight of a dresser?<br> 45 grams or 45 kilograms
STatiana [176]
45 grams is about 1/4 cup of water or maybe 1/4 cup of flour or uncooked rice would be 45 grams. Anyway it's not much.

Unless the dresser is made of paper, 45 grams is not enough. 45 kg though large (that's roughly 100 pounds if that's what you think in), the dresser might be found in the apartment where Sherlock Holmes lives. (The dresser is a piece of victorian furniture) it is much closer to what a modern dresser would weigh.
