The figure below shows the data collected from measurements of the survival rate of the larval (baby) shrimps. a. In interpret the data presented with respect to the change in larval viability in different pH. [2] b. What is the major cause of this trend shown in the following figure? [2] c. Do you expect by climate change, this problem will be fixed or will be worse? Explain your answer. [4] 100 Larval viability (%) 75 50 25 0 8.0 7.7 7.6

Step 1
In interpret the data presented with respect to the change in larval viability in different pH, pH is the environmental factor that has the most significant effect on larval viability. b. The major cause of this trend shown in the following figure is the decrease Show more…

An article in the The Canadian Entomologist (Harcourt et al., $1977,$ Vol. $109,$ pp. $1521-1534$ ) reported on the life of the alfalfa weevil from eggs to adulthood. The following table shows the number of larvae that survived at each stage of development from eggs to adults. (a) What is the probability an egg survives to adulthood? (b) What is the probability of survival to adulthood given survival to the late larvae stage? (c) What stage has the lowest probability of survival to the next stage?
Probability
Conditional Probability
The population of a certain species of insects increases exponentially according to the model, P(t) = 952e^0.12t, where P is the number of insects and t is the time in weeks since the original colony settled in the farm nearby. A. [3 pts] How many insects are in the original colony? B. [4 pts] How many insects would you expect to be in the colony after 20 weeks if the population growth follows the model? Round off to the nearest whole number. C. [5 pts] How long will it take for the population to reach 20000?
