Answer:
Bycatch- the unwanted fish and other marine creatures caught during commercial fishing for a different species.
An oil spill- An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually given to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land.
Agricultural runoff- water from farm fields due to irrigation, rain, or melted snow that flows over the earth that can absorb into the ground, enter bodies of waters or evaporate.
Deforestation- the permanent removal of trees to make room for something besides forest. This can include clearing the land for agriculture or grazing, or using the timber for fuel, construction or manufacturing. Forests cover more than 30% of the Earth's land surface, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
Overharvesting- overexploitation, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns. Ecologists use the term to describe populations that are harvested at a rate that is unsustainable, given their natural rates of mortality and capacities for reproduction.

If a line crosses the y-axis at (0, 1) and has a slope of '4/5 , what is the equation of the line?
Answer:
[tex]y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1[/tex]
Explanation:
A line has a general equation of
[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]
where b is the y-intercept and slope of m.
Since [tex](0,1)[/tex] is the value of y when [tex]x = 0[/tex], it is the point of intersection of the line with the y-axis, hence the y-intercept is [tex]b=1[/tex].
We are given the slope is [tex]m = \frac{4}{5}[/tex]
So the equation of the line is
[tex]y = \frac{4}{5}x + 1[/tex]

Explanation:
On a certain portion of an experiment, a statistical test result yielded a p-value of 0.15. What can you conclude?
If the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 15% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant.
2(0.15) = 0.30 < 0.5; the test is not statistically significant.
0.15 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant.
If the null hypothesis is true, one could expect to get a test statistic at least as extreme as that observed 85% of the time, so the test is not statistically significant.
p = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85 > 0.05; the test is statistically significant.
Answer:
15%
