Which of the following species would you most expect to be distributed according to a regular pattern? a. termites b. stingless bees c. fish d. creosote bushes

The correct answer is option d. creosote bushes.

The plants, especially bushes have a more regular or uniform distribution as compared to the animals. The uniform distribution of the plants helps in the distribution of the nutrients and the space. Also, they cannot move so random distribution is rarely seen in bushes.

The small animals tend to live in groups, hence, they generally show clumped distribution. The large fishes or animals are generally randomly distributed as they cannot live in groups.

9.9 years

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
