Step-by-step explanation:
Larval mosquitoes breath through trachea in their siphons. This is a structure analogous to the snorkel on a diesel electric submarine. It allows for gas exchange with the atmosphere while the remainder of the insect is submerged. The opening of the siphon is hydrophobic so it won’t get wet and blocked by water. This works well to keep the siphon and the trachea open under normal conditions. Oil when poured on water forms a thin film. When there are mosquitos in that water, when their siphons contact the oil layer, the oil wets and blocks their siphons and suffocates the mosquitoes. This works against most, but not all mossies, as evolution is an amazing process. Some mosquitoes (Mansonia, Coquilletidia) have a siphon designed to penetrate the air vessels in aquatic plants and they don’t need to come to the surface to breath like other mossies. So oil won’t work on these genera.

Answer:
The correct options are;
B) The mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies
B) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees
Step-by-step explanation:
We use the acronym SC for the security company and OC for the other company
SC OC
1.6 1.5
1.8 2.1
1.6 1.9
1.8 2.2
1.7 1.9
1.2 1.7
1.1 2.1
1.2 2.2
1.2 2.2
1.5 1.8
∑x 14.7 19.6
The mean is given by ∑x/n
n = 10
SC OC
∴ Mean 1.47 1.96
The median is the
Hence
SC OC
Median 1.55 2
Therefore, the mean and median for the security company are both lower than the mean and the median for the collections performed by other companies.
b) Since the security company appear to have collected lower revenue than other companies, there is some evidence of stealing by the security company's employees.
