So we want to know what percentage of bees would survive a virus after 19 days of decay if the bee population has a half life of 5 days. So every 5 days 50% of bees die. Lets say that N is the number of bees before the virus. So after 5 days is 50% less bees, so 50% of N remains. After another 5 days again, 50% bees die, and 50% out of 50% is 25%. So after 10 days, 25% of bees remain or 25%N or 0.25*N. After another 5 days its 12.5 % of bees remain or 0.125*N. And after 4 days 40% more bees die. And that is 0.4*0.125*N = 0.05N. 0.05*100% is 5%. So after 19 days, 5% of bees remain and 95% of bees is dead.

Answer:

B. What was the highest temperature this month?

Step-by-step explanation:

Rory is recording the <em>high</em><em>est</em><em> temperature</em> for the duration of the day for month's worth of data.

B. is the easiest one to answer, as you simply will have to look for the greatest number within the set, and that will be the answer.

A. is too broad, and does not imply that only the "high temperature" is needed, rather just a leveled temperature within day in that month.

C. is the opposite of what Rory had recorded, and without data, he cannot answer it.

D. is answerable as well, but, again, the only temperature recorded is the high temperature. Temperature can fluctuate depending on the time of the day, and can be in the 50s one hour and the 90s in another.

Step-by-step explanation:
