The correct answer is option C, that is, mammals were able to diversify to make use of the variety of habitats that were previously occupied by dinosaurs.
Adaptive radiation refers to the comparatively fast evolution of various species from a single common ancestor. Adaptive radiation usually takes place when a species enters a novel area and distinct traits influence its existence. An illustration of adaptive radiation is the progression of mammals after the annihilation of dinosaurs.
Claim: the mean resting pulse rate for men is less than 72
bpm.
Symbolic form would be: μ < 72
Step 1: null hypothesis : μ > = 7 2 b p m
Step 2: alternative hypothesis: μ < 7 2 b p m
Step 3: the test statistic is z = mean – μ / standard dev/sqrt (n) = -3/4 / 1.7639 = -1.92
Step 4: c v method: since z α = -1.645, the test static is z = -1.92 is less than the CV, we reject null hypothesis
P Value method: area is 0.0274, since the p value is <= α, reject null hypothesis.
Step 5: the sample data support the claim that the mean resting pulse rate for men is less than 72 bpm.
