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!

False
The definition given is of primary succession. Primary succession is carried out in order to reclaim land that is not suitable for organisms to grow on. This is carried out using pioneer species, organisms that are able to survive in infertile soil. Secondary succession occurs after this, where other species that require more fertile soil are planted .

True or false: Fossils can include traces and imprints of plants and animals as well as their remains.
Luden [163]

Given what we know, we can confirm that the statement being made is in fact true, Fossils can include traces and imprints of plants and animals as well as their remains.

<h3>Why is this statement about fossils true?</h3>

Fossils are the preserved remains of ancient biological creatures. These fossils are not specific to one type of organism. Instead, fossils often contain many organisms at once. Plants, animals, fungi, bacteria, and single-celled living things are all examples of what we may find within fossils.

Therefore, we can confirm that the statement being made is in fact true, Fossils can include traces and imprints of plants and animals as well as their remains.

Hey there :)

This is so-called Faulting.

In our Earth, we have sections of the crust. When the sections move relative to each other, faulting occurs.

Tsunami waves flood coastal and inland areas and affect coastal life. Which of these properties of tsunami waves most contribute
Ede4ka [16]
I found the exercise on the internet and here are the options:
"<span>the low friction of waves at the shoreline
the high friction of waves at the shoreline
the high amplitude of the waves at origination
the long wavelength of the waves at origination"

The tsunami property that most contributes to the flooding is "the long wavelength of the waves at origination". The long wavelength that the tsunamis have at their origin makes so that when the wave reaches the shore, instead of a normal spreading, a much longer spreading takes place taking the ocean as far as the wavelength allows.</span>
