The answer is the third one: you have a small, unrepresentative sample of a larger population.

Explanation for each option:

  1. You have made a mistake counting the genotypes: This option is incorrect. Sampling error does not refer to mistakes in counting or data collection errors. It refers to the natural variability that occurs when a sample is taken from a population.

  2. All genotypes have fitness: This option is incorrect. Sampling error is unrelated to the concept of fitness in genotypes. Fitness refers to the ability of an organism to survive and reproduce, not to sampling error.

  3. You have a small, unrepresentative sample of a larger population: This option is correct. Sampling error occurs when a sample does not accurately represent the population from which it was drawn, often due to the sample being too small or not randomly selected.

  4. A lot of the genetic drift to be expected in a small population has disappeared because of a catastrophe: This option is incorrect. This statement describes a bottleneck effect or a founder effect, not sampling error. Sampling error is about the variability in sample representation, not about changes in genetic drift due to catastrophic events.

In summary, sampling error refers to the variability that arises when a sample is not representative of the population, often due to the sample size or selection method.

For many purposes we can treat methane (CH4) as an ideal gas at temperatures above its boiling point of -161 °C. Suppose the temperature of a sample of methane gas is raised from -35.0°C to 1.0°C, and at the same time the pressure is decreased by 15.0% Does the volume of the sample increase, decrease, or stay the same? O increase If you said the volume increases or decreases, calculate the percentage change in the volume. Round your answer to the nearest percent. %

Money market funds are yielding almost nothing Last month, the interest rate on a money fund averaged 0.08% a year and on 5 -year CDs it was 2.6% a year. The inflation rate was 0.1% a year. USA Today, August 12, 2009 To maintain these real interest rates in the coming months, how will these nominal rates change if the inflation rate increases to 0.2 percent a year? To maintain these real interest rates in the coming months, the nominal interest rate will if the inflation rate increases to 0.2 percent a year. A. increase by 0.1 percent on the 5 -year CD and decrease by 0.1 percent on the money fund B. increase on both assets by 0.1 percent C. decrease on both assets by 0.1 percent D. increase by 0.1 percent on the money fund and decrease by 0.1 percent on the 5 -year CD E. remain constant on both assets
