When you investigate a newly discovered DNA polymerase from a deep sea microbe and you find that it has an error rate of 1 mistake in every 106  bases copied. However, the overall mutation rate is much lower. This is most likely because:

3.1 What is meant by the term ecosystem (line 3)?   (2)

3.4 Suggest how scientists are able to find the percentage of coral that has died in a section of the reef. (3)

Use the normal approximation to find the indicated probability. The sample size is n, the population proportion of successes is p, and X is the number of successes in the sample. n = 83, p = 0.35: P(X ≤ 27)

The following histograms each illustrate a sample. Which sample can be treated as approximately normal?

The Australian sheep dog is a breed renowned for its intelligence and work ethic. It is estimated that 45% of adult Australian sheep dogs weigh 65 pounds or more. A sample of 14 adult dogs is studied. What is the standard deviation of the number of dogs who weigh 65 lb or more?
