Ith the of a consulting geologist, some historical data have been obtained that provide more precise information on the likelihood of obtaining favorable seismic soundings on similar tracts of land. specifically, when the land contains oil, favorable seismic soundings are obtained 74% of the time. this percentage changes to 30% when the land is dry. a) recalculate unconditional probabilities of favorable and unfavorable seismic soundings. b) recalculate the posterior probabilities for oil and dry given favorable and unfavorable seismic soundings. c) use the corresponding excel template to check your answers to parts (a) and (b).d) find the eve for the seismic sounding using the probabilities given above and determine the new optimal policy for this example.

Order the steps of protein synthesis. amino acids are lined up in a sequence. rna is modified into mrna. dna is transcribed. a ribosome binds to mrna. chemical bonds are formed and a protein is produced.

Charles darwin published his theory of evolution in 1859. in what way foes modern evolutionary theory differ from the theory as proposed by darwin? a) darwin inferred that individuals can evolve, but modern generic science has shown that this is not true. b)darwin inferred that individuals do not evolve, but modern genetic science has shown that this is not true. c)modern science has disproved most of darwin's original theory of evolution, because darwin knew nothing about generations and their role in heredity. d)generic studies have shown that gene expression and other factors operate along with natural selection, but most of darwin's theory has been supported by modern science.

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. threat method number of species that benefit number of years to see benefit habitat fragmentation reforestation 450 8 introduced prey species biological augmentation 150 2 which statement is an accurate explanation of the information in the table? a. biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because it is typically not very effective. b. biological augmentation would take less time to be effective because it targets the majority of prey species. c. reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. d. reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground.
