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

As part of a chemistry experiment, Barry is making a mixture of two solutions. He uses 4 cups of solution A for every 2 cups of
sergejj [24]

Answer:

A. The ratio of the number of cups of solution A to the total number of cups of the mixture is 2:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution A= 4 cups

Solution B= 2 cups

Total cups of the mixture=4+2=6

A. The ratio of the number of cups of solution A to the total number of cups of the mixture is 2:3.

Solution A= 4 cups

Mixture=6 cups

Solution A : Mixture =4 : 6

=2:3

Option A is true

B. The ratio of the number of cups of solution A to the total number of cups of the mixture is 3:2.

Solution A= 4 cups

Mixture=6 cups

Solution A : Mixture =4 : 6

=2:3

Option B not true

C. There are 3 cups of solution A for every 6 cups of mixture.

Option C states that:

Solution A=3 cups

Mixture=6 cups

Solution A : Mixture=3:6=1:2

This is not true

D. For each cup of solution A, there are 2 cups of solution B.

Option D states:

Solution A= 1 cups

Solution B= 2 cups

This is not true

It is rather

Solution A= 2 cups

Solution B= 1 cups

Therefore, option A. The ratio of the number of cups of solution A to the total number of cups of the mixture is 2:3 is the correct statement

What is the mean of the values in the dot plot? Enter your answer in the box. A number line ranging from 15 to 25 with one dot o
solmaris [256]
The mean of a dataset is the all members of the dataset added together and then divided by the number of members in the set. From your description of the number line, I've created a list of members.

16, 17, 17, 17, 17, 19, 19, 19, 19, 21, 22, 22, 23, 25

Adding all members of this set up produces the value 273. There are 14 members in the set, so 273 / 14 = 19.5. Thus, the mean of the set is 19.5
