Answer:

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutagen is part of genetics, it is chemical or physical agent which are present in atmosphere and causes changes or mutation in the genetic materials i.e. in DNA (these changes can be permanent as well). Example of mutagen are radioactive substances, ultraviolet radiation, etc.

UV radiation is an electromagnetic radiation which is present in sunlight. It is a strong mutagen which is when absorbed by DNA can cause extreme damage, for example, uncontrolled division of skin cell can cause skin cancer, that's the reason why UV radiation is the most common mutagen to which we are exposed to when we are outside in the sunlight.

AveGali [126]

Answer:

Barbados won the Bronze.

Step-by-step explanation:

The information indicates that Jamaica finished before Barbados, but behind Trinidad which means that Trinidad was the first one, then Jamaica and the third one was Barbados:

1. Trinidad

2. Jamaica

3. Barbados

Then, it indicates that Haiti finished before Guyana, but behind Barbados which indicates that Haiti was in 4th place after Barbados and the last one was Guyana:

1. Trinidad

2. Jamaica

3. Barbados

4. Haiti

5.Guyana

What is the length of BC

elena55 [62]

Answer:

BC = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We first need to use triangle BAD to find BD,

BD is the hypotenuse, so use pythagorean theorem...

(√23)² + (√13)² = (BD)²

23 + 13 = (BD)²

36 = (BD)²

6 = BD

Now BD is the hypotenuse of triangle BCD, so use pythagorean theorem agian to find BC

(4√2)² + (BC)² = 6²

32 + (BC)² = 36

(BC)² = 4

BC = 2

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a stand

Art [367]

Answer:

b. Mean = 1.6 years, standard deviation - 0.92 years, shape: approximately Normal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$ .

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

Subtraction of normal Variables:

When we subtract normal variables, the mean is the subtraction of the means, while the standard deviation is the square root of the sum of the variances.

A consumer group has determined that the distribution of life spans for gas ranges (stoves) has a mean of 15.0 years and a standard deviation of 4.2 years. Sample of 35:

This means that:

$\mu_G = 15$
