Answer:

Leukopenia decreases the body ability to fight infection

Explanation:

There are three major types of cells in the blood namely: platelets, red blood cells (erythrocytes) and white blood cells (leucocytes). These cells perform individual functions in the blood tissue, however, the cell saddled with the responsibility of fighting against foreign bodies and preventing the body against infection is the WHITE BLOOD CELL (LEUCOCYTES).

According to this question, Leukopenia is a condition characterized by a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood. The effect of this decrease in number of white blood cells caused by Leukopenia is a DECREASE IN THE BODY ABILITY TO FIGHT INFECTION.

Newsweek in 1989 reported that 60% of young children have blood lead levels that could impair their neurological development. As
Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answer is 83.38%.

Explanation:

The probability of young children having blood levels that impair their neurological development is given as 60% in the question. To find the probability of at least 5 children out of 10 in a sample having said blood levels, we need to use the binomial probability.

n represents the total number of children in the sample so n = 10 and p is the probability of the children having blood levels causing the problem which is 60% so p = 0.6.

We want the probability of it being observed for 5 or more children and that is P(x\geq 5). If we subtract the P( x\leq 4) from 1, which is the probability of not observing the condition in 5 or more children, we will have the P(x\geq 5).

1 - P(x\leq 4) = 1 - pbinom(4, 10, 0.6) which are the probability range in the function, the sample size and the probability of observing the condition respectively.

The result is 1 - 0.1662 = 0.8338 which means that the probability that is asked is 83.38%.

I hope this answer helps.

Why are the two strands of the double helix "perfect and specific compliments"?
77julia77 [94]
Because for the strands to form a double helix the base pairs have to match perfectly (adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine) in DNA , and if a strand of RNA is paired with a split strand of DNA it goes adenine with uracil and cytosine with guanine (uracil replaces thymine)
