Explain why it is important to be skeptical of statistical results reported in the media.

Biology
1 answer:
wlad13 [49]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Firstly, many statistics are taken from a small group of people used to represent the general population. Say a news channel reported that 81% of teenagers in America were planning on going to a four-year college. This statistic is most likely taken from a randomly selected group of teenagers, and calculated with a margin of error. Because after all, it's nearly impossible to survey every single teenager in America. This can lead to some statistics that are not really representative of the actual percentage of people. This only gets more likely the larger the general population being "surveyed" is. Another reason is that the media is not always truthful with statistics. Things can be altered and not many people will notice. Hope this helps!

With the aid of a food chain, describe how energy flows from the highest to the lowest..
Anika [276]

Answer:

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.

Explanation:

Energy is passed between organisms through the food chain. Food chains start with producers. They are eaten by primary consumers which are in turn eaten by secondary consumers. They are then eaten by tertiary consumers and in a long food day these can be eaten by quaternary consumers
