Question

To create a simulation of 100,000 ants moving around inside a colony, a scientist needs to determine the average traveling speed for an actual ant. Which of the following is the best course of action for establishing this parameter?

A. Divide the total distance traveled by 100,000 ants in a day by 24 hours.
B. Determine the average traveling speed for 20 randomly selected ants.
C. Choose a random value to represent the average traveling speed of an ant.
D. Measure the traveling speed of a single ant, and assume all ants are the same.

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Determine the average traveling speed fr 20 randomly selected ants.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

By randomizing and selecting 20 ants you can have a very close estimate on how much the average travelling speed is in the whole colony in a relatively little amount of time, this can help the scientists advance easier with their study rather than sending a team to count every single ant in the colony and then dividing it.
