Question

directions: drag each piece of data into the correct box. bluefin tuna are important predators in many marine food chains. not only do they help to maintain a balance in the oceans ecosystems, but they also provide a food source for people and a livelihood for fishers. in recent decades, bluefin tuna have become endangered as a result of overfishing and illegal fishing. trisha is a marine biologist who studies one particular species of bluefin tuna, the atlantic bluefin. she wants to start a conservation program for atlantic bluefins that will increase their numbers to a healthy, sustainable level. trisha decides to develop a computer simulation that can interpret data gathered about atlantic bluefins to make predictions about their future population size. categorize each of the following pieces of data as either an input (data entered by trisha) or an output (data generated by the computer simulation). current estimated number of bluefin tuna worldwide current number of bluefin tuna being caught per year reproductive potential of a single bluefin tuna total number of bluefin tuna 24 months from now data input data output 14 of 20 answered session timer: 17:27 session score: 79% (11/ practice session - hum 2025 - 26 duke blue plan

Explanation:

Input data are facts Trisha knows or can measure and enters into the simulation. Output data is what the simulation predicts. The current estimated number of bluefin tuna worldwide, current number of bluefin tuna being caught per year, and reproductive potential of a single bluefin tuna are known - input data. The total number of bluefin tuna 24 months from now is a prediction - output data.

Answer:

Data Input: current estimated number of bluefin tuna worldwide, current number of bluefin tuna being caught per year, reproductive potential of a single bluefin tuna
Data Output: total number of bluefin tuna 24 months from now
