Answer:

Primary consumer = 100kcal

Secondary consumer = 10kcal

Tertiary consumer = 1kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

In a food chain, transfer of energy occurs when one organism feeds on another organism. However, only 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because energy is lost as heat when the organisms perform metabolism.

In a typical food chain consisting of a producer, a primary (1st), secondary (2nd) and tertiary (3rd) consumer, if there are 1000 kcal of energy available in the producer, then:

- Primary consumer will obtain; 10% of 1000Kcal

10/100 × 1000

Primary consumer = 100kcal of energy.

- Secondary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 100kcal available energy

= 10/100 × 100

Secondary consumer = 10Kcal of energy.

- Tertiary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 10Kcal of available energy.

= 10/100 × 10

Tertiary consumer = 1 kcal of energy.

Bond [772]

If Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week. Then the mean of the sample is 3.75.

<h3>What is Mean?</h3>

The average of a group of numbers is simply defined as the mean. In statistics, the mean is regarded as one of the indicators of central tendency.

Sixty-five randomly selected car salespersons were asked the number of cars they generally sell in one week.

Fourteen people answered that they generally sell two cars; nineteen generally sell three cars; twelve generally sell four cars; nine generally sell five cars; eleven generally sell six cars.

Then the mean of the sample will be

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{N} \times \Sigma _{i}   \ \ x_if_i

Then the table is given below.

Then we have

\rm Mean = \dfrac{1}{65} \times (244)\\\\\\Mean = 3.7538\\\\Mean \approx 3.75

More about the mean link is given below.
