In an ecosystem, the herring population was reduced by fishermen. As a result, the tuna, which feed on the herring, disappeared.

The sand eels, which are eaten by herring, increased in number. The fishermen then overharvested the sand eel population. Cod and seabirds then decreased.
Which food web best represents the feeding relationships in this ecosystem?

Answer:

                         -------> Herring---------> Tuna

                      /                      

Sand eels ⇒/

                     \

                        \

                           ---------> Cod -----------> Seabirds

Explanation:

Food Web is the complex interplay of  interconnection between food chains and a graphical representation of what-eats-what in an ecological community.

From the question, the herring population was reduced by fishermen and as a result the tuna which feed on the herring disappeared. This implies that the tuna depends solely on the herrings for feeding. without they wont survive.

As we proceed, we were being told that the sand eels which are eaten by herring, increased in number.

If we pay close attention, we will understand that due to the reduction of the herrings  made the sand eels to increased in numbers. The point is that herrings also feed on the sand eels, but as the herrings is being reduced by some anthropogenic factors caused by the fishermen the sand eels increased.

Also, the fishermen overharvested the sand eel population and the aftermath effect shows reduction in Cod and Seabirds. This implies that Cod feeds on sand eels and Seabirds feeds on Cod, but as the food chain is being disrupted by overharvesting of the sand eels, the effect was shown by a decreased in the Cod and Seabirds.

Therefore, the best diagrammatic representation that could fit best for this explanation is:

                        -------> Herring---------> Tuna

                      /                      

Sand eels ⇒/

                           ---------> Cod -----------> Seabirds

<span>11.2 Florida voters. Florida played a key role in the 2000 and 2004 presidential elections. Voter registration records in August 2010 show that 41% of Florida voters are registered as Democrats and 36% as Republicans. (Most of the others did not choose a party.) To test a random digit dialing device that you plan to use to poll voters for the 2010 Senate elections, you use it to call 250 randomly chosen residential telephones in Florida. Of the registered voters contacted, 34% are registered Democrats. Is each of the boldface numbers a parameter or a statistic? Answer 41 % of registered voters are Democrats: parameter 36% of registered voters are Republicans: parameter 34% of voters contacted are Democrats: statistic 11.7 Generating a sampling distribution. Let’s illustrate the idea of a sampling distribution in the case of a very small sample from a very small population. The population is the scores of 10 students on an exam: The parameter of interest is the mean score μ in this population. The sample is an SRS of size n = 4 drawn from the population. Because the students are labeled 0 to 9, a single random digit from Table B chooses one student for the sample. (a) Find the mean of the 10 scores in the population. This is the population mean μ. (b) Use the first digits in row 116 of Table B to draw an SRS of size 4 from this population. What are the four scores in your sample? What is their mean ? This statistic is an estimate of μ. (c) Repeat this process 9 more times, using the first digits in rows 117 to 125 of Table B. Make a histogram of the 10 values of . You are constructing the sampling distribution of . Is the center of your histogram close to μ? Answer (a) μ = 694/10 = 69.4. (b) The table below shows the results for line 116. Note that we need to choose 5 digits because the digit 4 appears twice. (c) The results for the other lines are in the table; the histogram is shown after the table.</span>
