The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the chances of contracting bird flu from properly cooked chicken and eggs at a temperature above 100°C, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Bird Flu**: Bird flu, or avian influenza, is caused by the influenza virus, which can infect birds and, in some cases, humans. 2. **Temperature Sensitivity of the Virus**: The influenza virus is known to be resistant to temperatures around 70 to 74°C. This means that at these temperatures, the virus may not be effectively killed. 3. **Cooking Temperature**: The question specifies that the chicken and eggs are cooked at a temperature above 100°C. This temperature is significantly higher than the threshold (70-74°C) where the virus can survive. 4. **Effect of High Temperature**: Cooking food at temperatures above 100°C is sufficient to kill the influenza virus. Therefore, if chicken and eggs are cooked properly at this temperature, the virus would be inactivated. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the cooking temperature exceeds the threshold necessary to kill the virus, the chances of contracting bird flu from properly cooked chicken and eggs at this temperature are effectively zero. 6. **Select the Correct Option**: Based on the analysis, the correct answer is that the chances of contracting bird flu from properly cooked chicken and eggs at temperatures above 100°C are none. ### Final Answer: The chances of contracting bird flu from properly cooked (above 100°C) chicken and eggs are none. ---

  • Most chickens reach maturity and begin laying eggs at around 20 weeks of age. From this point forward, however, as the chicken ages,its eges its egg production decreases. A farmer was given a flock of 100 chickens (all of which were the same age) and asked to meaure daily egg output for the entire flock at random intervals starting at maturity until the chickens were 70 weeks old. The data are recorded in the scatteplot below and the line of best fit has been drawn. Based on the line of bast fit, what is the predicted number of eggs that will be produced by the flock when it is 33 weeks past maturity ?

    A
    33
    B
    50
    C
    58
    D
