Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the 10% rule

Only about 10% of the energy available within one trophic level is transferred to organisms at the next trophic level.

Step 2: Calculate energy for primary consumers

Producers have 25,000 J. Primary consumers receive 10% of this: 25,000 J * 0.10 = 2500 J

Step 3: Calculate energy for secondary consumers

Primary consumers have 2500 J. Secondary consumers receive 10% of this: 2500 J * 0.10 = 250 J

Step 4: Calculate energy for tertiary consumers

Secondary consumers have 250 J. Tertiary consumers receive 10% of this: 250 J * 0.10 = 25 J

Final Answer: The final answer is $\boxed{25 J}$

The least-squares regression equation is ŷ=775.8x+11,824 where y is the median income of a region and x is the percentage of adults 25 years and older with at least a bachelor's degree in the region. The scatter diagram indicates a linear relation between the two variables with a correlation coefficient of 0.8017. Complete parts (a) through (d). (a) Predict the median income of a region in which 20% of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. 27,340 (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.) (b) In a particular region, 25.5 percent of adults 25 years and older have at least a bachelor's degree. The median income in this region is 35,076. Is this income higher than what you would expect? Why? This is than expected because the expected income is (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
