Although it is now extinct, the Carolina parakeet was last seen in Florida in 1920. Back then, large areas of habitat were logged and converted to agricultural fields. Honeybees evicted the parakeets from hollow trees where they nested. Many parakeets were shot for food and their feathers. In addition, farmers shot the parakeets to keep them from eating their seeds. What can you conclude from these observations about why the Carolina parakeet became extinct? a. Extinction may be the result of several factors.

b. Extinction is always the result of human activity.

c. Extinction occurs when an organism adapts to changes in its environment.

d. Extinction can be reversed if conservation measures are immediately put in place.

An annual marathon covers a route that has a distance of approximately 26 miles. winning times for this marathon are all over 2 hours. the following data are the minutes over 2 hours for the winning male runners over two periods of 20 years each. earlier period 14 12 15 22 13 10 19 13 9 14 20 18 16 20 23 12 18 17 6 13 recent period 7 11 7 14 8 9 11 14 8 7 9 8 7 9 9 9 9 8 10 8 (a) make a stem-and-leaf display for the minutes over 2 hours of the winning times for the earlier period. use two lines per stem.
