They only tested two to have a solid hypothesis you need a larger group.

Answer:

Its conclusion is flawed because in a scientific investigation it is necessary to carry out the experimentation in a significant sample of hermit crabs. In this case Laurita and Trey only considered 2 crabs whose behavior may be determined by other factors, so it is necessary to increase the study sample .

A subset of the population is called a "sample," and therefore must be representative of it. In general, when a sample is estimated, the population size must be taken into consideration.  Very large populations will require large samples for their representativeness, and small populations will require smaller samples.

The muscular system helps with ____ and the skeletal system helps with ____. Question 1 options: movement; oxygen exchange movem
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is movement; structure.

The muscular system helps with <u>movement</u> and the skeletal system helps with <u>structure</u>.

Explanation:

The human muscular system constitutes 40% of the total weight of our body and is made up of three types of muscles, which, together with different tendons and thanks to their contraction capacities, allow us to move. The muscular system and the function of the muscles allow the movement of our body and it is the one that works in tune with other systems of our body to guarantee normal general functioning..The skeletal system is the set of organs that support, shape, structure and protect the body. The skeleton is a dynamic structure, specifically the axial skeleton, it is to serve as a support or as a scaffold that supports the organs and structures of the body. This is how bones together with muscles work as a team to allow the mobility of the human body.
