Answer:

someone can die at sea from thrist because there is no drinkable water.

Explanation:

You cannot drink the water surrounding you because it is salt water. (not the regular non-salt water we drink) the salt in the ocean water will actually dehydrate you more.

Hope this helps!!

Human kidneys can only make urine that is less salty than salt water. Therefore, to get rid of all the excess salt taken in by drinking seawater, you have to urinate more water than you drank. Eventually, you die of dehydration even as you become thirstier.

The z value for a 99.5% confidence interval estimation is
kompoz [17]

Answer & explanation:

A confidence interval is an estimated range of a parameter of interest. Confidence intervals are used to indicate the reliability of an estimate. For example, a confidence interval can be used to describe how reliable a search result is.  

In other words, a high confidence interval Z value implies that a survey is more likely to indicate the actual values being presented.

In biostatistics, for example, the Z value can be used in calculations to assess the prevalence of a particular disease and the factors associated with it in a population.

The value of Z, however, is not used as a percentage (like the 99.5% addressed in this question) for calculations. A universal table is used to convert Z values and use them in statistical calculations.

Some examples of Z value conversions can be found in the table attached in this question.

Which of the following did you include in your response? Check all of the boxes that apply. Women have two X chromosomes. Recess
Bond [772]

All of the statements are true.

The X chromosome is one of the two sex chromosomes of humans and some animals (the other sex chromosome is the Y chromosome). Men have a single X chromosome and women two X chromosomes.

Diseases whose gene is localized on the X chromosome are most often transmitted in the X-linked recessive mode; some are transmitted on the dominant mode related to the X.

In this mode of inheritance, the morbid allele behaves like a recessive trait.

Women heterozygotes are not affected but can transmit the disease; they are said to be conductive of the disease.

The disease is only manifested in male subjects (XY) with only one copy of the gene (hemizygous subjects)
