<span><span>Let x = amt of water evaporated

.05(50) = .08(50-x)
2.5 = 4 - .08x
.08x = 4 - 2.5
.08x = 1.5
x = 
x = 18.75 lb of water evaporated

Check; amt of salt remains the same, only the percentage is different, right?
.05(50) = .08(50-18.75)
.05(50) = .08(31.25)
2.5 = 2.5</span><span>

A farmer grows crops with an average height of 5 feet. He breeds his tallest plants, which are each 8 feet tall. They produce of
irinina [24]

Answer:

Qa: The heritability for tallness in these crops is 0.08, while Qb: Genes slightly influence the trait for height.

Step-by-step explanation:

Qa: The average height of regular crops grown by the farmer was 5 feet. The amazingly tall breeds have a 3feet increment than the usual crops. This progeny of the farmer's choice breeds has a 0.25 feet increment in height than what is expected in other normal breeds. Therefore, the heritability of the tall trait by these progeny was 0.25/3, which is 0.08333.....Approximately 0.08.

Qb: This low heritability index showed that the trait for tallness is slightly influenced by gene, because if otherwise, the index would have been a far way higher than this. However, we cannot conclude that it is the environment that determines the tall phenotype to be expected in the crops; this renders other options wrong.

A study reports the mean change in HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) of adults eating raw garlic six days a
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

This means that we are 95% confident that the mean change in HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) of adults eating raw garlic six days a week for six months is between plus or minus 5 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl) to the sample mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

Confidence interval can be defined as a range of values so defined that there is a specified probability that the value of a parameter lies within it.

For 95% confidence interval, it means that we are 95% confident that the mean of the population is between the given upper and lower bounds(margin of error) of the confidence interval.

For the case above, the interpretation of the 95% confidence interval is that we are 95% confident that the mean change in HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) of adults eating raw garlic six days a week for six months is between plus or minus 5 milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dl) to the sample mean.
