Answer:

A)Ocean floor evidence of sea floor spreading.

Explanation:

evidence pointing to the steps or process  of seafloor spreading and effective plate motion This theory was accepted by many scientist because  it depended  on hard evidence and could describe most of the modern geological structures such as ocean basins,

What is the tectonic theory?

The theory of plate tectonics plates  says  that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move to each other.

What is a tectonic plate?

They are huge slabs of rock that cover the earths mantle When a earthquake occurs that's because the tectonic plate is breaking  that makes the ground shake  During the earthquake and afterward, the plates keep on shaking until they are stuck again!

Before a captive breeding program and subsequent reintroduction of the black-footed ferret it is believed that their total popul
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

a) 99.93%

b) 99.98%

Explanation:

Given that:

Total population size was only around 18 individuals ( for  black-footed ferret)

If the annual survival rate in the wild was 0.4%.

a)

What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year?

To find that; we multiply the annual survival rate in the wild with the total population; which is:

(0.4%×18) = 0.072%

Then; we subtract it from a total of 100% in order to determine the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year.

= (100.00% - 0.072%)

= 99.93%

b)

What is the probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present?

Given that;

Because of the presence of canine distemper disease, the annual mortality rate might have been as high as 0.89.

To determine the probability; we have:

1 - Annual mortality rate = annual survival rate

1 - 0.89 = 0.11 %

Therefore, 0.11% of 18 individuals = (0.0011 × 18)

= 0.0198%

Probability that all 18 would have died in a single year if canine distemper was present = 100 - probability of annual survival rate

= (100 - 0.0198)%

= 99.98%
