During trial 5 pollution and disease occurs. Pollution is persistent, 2nd year. Disease is persistent, 3rd year. During trial 6 disease occurred. Trial 6-pollution occurred and is persistent, 2nd year. Pollution is persistent, 3rd year. How did this affect population growth for both trial 5 and 6.
Please help me! I think the answer is a) BB=.0.570, Bb=0.290 and bb=0.140 and the population is in equilibrium please let me know if I am correct and explain!
The chart below shows selected population data for twodifferent countries, A and B. Study the chart and answerthe questions that follow Calculate the rates of natural increase (due to birthsand deaths, not counting immigration) for the populations of country A and country B. Based on thesecalculations and the data in the table, for each of thecountries, suggest whether it is a more-developedcountry or a less-developed country and explain thereasons for your answers

If the incidence rate of a very serious disease is 25/100,000 person-years and the prevalence of this disease in the population is 75/100,000, what is the average survival time of individuals who contract this disease? [Assume the population is in steady state] * Hint* Formula (D=P/IR)
A scientist claims that pneumonia causes weight loss in mice. The table shows the weights (in grams) of six mice before infection and two days after infection. At alphaαequals=0.10, is there enough evidence to support the scientist's claim? Assume the samples are random and dependent, and the population is normally distributed. Complete parts (a) through (e) below. Mouse 1 2 3 4 5 6 Weight (before) 22.9 19.1 23.6 21.2 23.2 21.7 Weight (after) 21.4 18.3 22.9 20.9 22.1 20.8 (a) Identify the claim and state Upper H 0H0 and Upper H Subscript aHa. What is the claim? A. Pneumonia causes weight loss in mice. B. Pneumonia causes weight gain in mice. C. Weight loss causes pneumonia in mice. D. Weight gain causes pneumonia in mice.
