If I observe a bed of mussels on the coast of California in which five species live where the abundances of each species are 60 for species #1, 451 for species #2, 587 for species #3, 13 for species #4, and 1,356 for species #5, what is the probability that I would randomly pick the third species?

See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case we have the following frequency distribution given associated to the aboundances of each species.

Species      Freq.

1                   60

2                  451

3                  587

4                  13

5                  1356

And for this case we want to find the probability that we would select a randomly pick from the species # 3.

For this case we can use the definition of empirical probability given by:

First we can find the total cases adding the frequencies for the species and we got : 60+451+587+13+1356=2467.

And for the possible cases we have 587 species from the type 3 so then the empirical probability would be:

the clues that signal the reader should change tone are the punctuation marks, the grammatical signs. for example, the quotation marks at the beginning of something someone else said literally or the exclamation marks.

the tone of the first line of dialogue until "gettysburg" is a kind tone, a tone of advise. the narrator is trying to the other person in doing something he or she obviously is finding hard to do by giving a piece of advise and bringing up a memory of a successful similar case.

the clue that the reader understand how to read the word "bang" is the exclamation mark. it gives the word a surprise tone, a strong accent.

the best tone for reading the word "bang" is an exciting tone, a surprise one, even a loud one.

the words that should be read with a formal tone are the ones that give factual information. the sentence: mister lincoln couldn't think of anything to say at the gettysburg" gives information about an event and it needs to be read formally, also, when the narrator wants to transmit calmness, a formal and slow tone is needed, because people also transmit messages with the vibrations of our voices and tones.
