3. People lose muscle mass as they age. Suppose a person lost 7% of their muscle mass between ages 50 and 60 (based on what they had at age 50) and 8% of their muscle mass from 60 to 70 (based on what they had at age 60). What percentage of the muscle mass that they had at age 50 have they lost by age 70? The following approach is INCORRECT! Explain why. The person lost 1% and then lost 8%. Since 1% + 8% =15%, they lost 15%. Explanation: Work: Answer the question, supporting your answer with work.

Assume that you are working for a plant grower (sometimes called a nursery) trying to model how many of your special flowers will bloom by August 1st this year. Your model looks at how many days are cloudy and how many days are rainy. If your weather almanac says that July (with 31 days in the month) normally has 16 days that are sunny and 15 that are cloudy, On sunny days, the flowers grow by 8.00% and on cloudy days they grow by 3.00%. Your flower needs to be greater than 100% by the end of the month. How do I know the true probability?
Explain in detail. Thank you
A researcher wants to know how long it takes, on average, for a certain species of bacteria to divide. She watches 17 cells through a microscope and times how long it takes them to divide.
