Answer:

elderly, specifically 50-74.

Explanation:

According to macmillan.org, the risk for cancer increases with age.

https://www.macmillan.org.uk/information-and-support/...cancer/what-is-cancer.html

If we are to go off of percentages, I would say a higher percent of children (per capita) get chemo, as it is a lot harder to say, "oh well i will die soon anyways" with a child.

(a) (1 pt) Assume diastolic blood pressure is normally distributed in a certain population, with a mean of 82 mmHg and a standar
Natali [406]

Answer:

2.275% of this population has a diastolic blood pressure less than 60 mmHg

Explanation:

Hello!

Yo have the distribution of the diastolic blood pressure in a certain population. Be X: diastolic blood pressure of an individual, X~N(μ;δ²)

Where

μ= 82mmHg

δ=11 mmHg

You need to calculate the probability of an individual of this population having less than 60mmHg diastolic blood pressure.

Symbolically:

P(X<60)

To obtain the value of probability you need to standardize the value of diastolic pressure so that you can obtain it from the standard normal distribution. The way to standardize the value is to subtract the mean and divide by the standard deviation

Z= (X-μ)/δ~N(0;1)

P(Z<(60-82)/11)

P(Z<-2)= 0.02275

I hope it helps!

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option (d)-"All of these are found in the fossil record and have been used by scientists to understand human evolution".

Explanation:

There is plenty of evidence that supports the proposal of how humans has evolved during past times. The fossil records that scientists has used understand human evolutionary patterns include the following. Ardipithecus ramidus bones  that revealed advances in upright walking, even tough they had a small brain that measured between 300 and 350 cm3. Australopithecus lack of an opposable big toe suggest that they lived on the ground instead of in trees. Homo erectus was the first species to use and control fire, as suggested by evidence of microscopic traces of wood ash.
