Question

Brown tree snakes are an invasive species causing huge environmental and financial damage in Guam. In June 2000, researchers captured 504 brown tree snakes on Guam's Andersen Air Force Base. On average, the snakes weighed 121g and ranged from 23 to 663 g at capture. From this information, we conclude that the distribution of brown tree snake masses (that is weights) must be

A) roughly symmetric

B) left-skewed, have a low outlier, or both

C) right-skewed, have a high outlier, or both

D) multimodal (multiple peaked)

The correct answer is C)

From the information provided, the distribution of the brown tree snake masses is right-skewed, has a high outlier, or both.

Explanation:

In statistics, after evaluating data and representing it on a graph, it can show a normal distribution. A graph that is normally distributed has the mean (average), median, and mode to be all equal.

In some cases, the distributions skews to the left or to the right.

A right-skewed distribution happens when most data represented graphically are expressed on the right, or positive side, of the graph's peak.

A high outlier refers to a value from a set of data that falls or "lies outside" most of the other values in that set of data. That is, it much smaller or larger than most of the data within its set. For example:

3, 4, 6, 2, 3, 6, 98, 1, 1, 2

In the number array above, 98 would be the outlier.

From the question above, it is very easy to see that the distance between the average and the highest possible weight of one snake is large.

Average is given at 121g

The largest occurring weight is given at 663g

The difference is 542.

not sure if this what you'r looking for would be percent composition

Answer from: Quest

Atp is is our little "pocket" of energy. of course, if you have too little, then it means you have too little energy, and you'll pass out. the way to not have enough, is to have no energy sources (glucose, fats, proteins). you can't have too many atp molecules. cycles like the krebs cycle produce it, but if you have too much of any substrate (or too little for that matter), the cycle stops and atp is no longer made (it stops until substrate levels are such that the process can go on). in any case, this is unlikely since atp is constantly hydrolyzed and remade, even while you're asleep. you won't have too much. if you have zero, you are dead or dying.
