To better measure the effects of increase in poaching, the nation of Africa began a study in 2000 to track the number of elephants in each of the country's three administrative districts. A count of the number of elephants in each region was performed by the researchers every two years; these counts were performed in January. The table above shows the results of the study.
Researchers determine that at a 95% confidence level, their margin of error for the population of elephants in 2010 was 17.4. If the actual population in 2010 is within the confidence interval, what is the lowest possible population of elephants in Africa in 2010?

Solution

The correct option is C 1319
As per given table the population of elephants in Africa in 2010 is 354+225+757=1336
But their margin of error for the population of elephants in 2010 was 17.4
Then the lowest possible population of elephants in Africa in 2010=1336-17.4=1318.6 say 1319

Q. Northern elephant seals are large marine mammals that live off the coast of southern California. In the late 1800s, they were hunted to near extinction. Conservation efforts by the Mexican government in the early 20th century restored their numbers with a breeding population of fewer than 100 individuals.
As a result, the northern elephant seal population demonstrates far less genetic diversity than southern elephant seals.
The hunting of the northern elephant seal population created which of the following phenomena resulting in the reduction of the population's genetic diversity?
