The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Bird Flu**: Bird flu, also known as avian influenza, is caused by the influenza virus, which can infect birds and, in some cases, humans. The virus can be present in poultry products, including chicken and eggs. 2. **Cooking Temperature**: The question specifies that the chicken and eggs are properly cooked at temperatures above 100°C. Cooking food at this temperature is crucial for killing pathogens, including viruses. 3. **Effect of Proper Cooking**: When chicken and eggs are cooked properly at temperatures above 100°C, the heat denatures proteins and destroys the virus. This means that any potential bird flu virus present in the chicken or eggs would be inactivated. 4. **Conclusion on Chances of Contracting Bird Flu**: Since the chicken and eggs are properly cooked, the chances of contracting bird flu from consuming these products are effectively eliminated. Therefore, the risk is considered to be none. 5. **Final Answer**: The chances of contracting bird flu from properly cooked 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
    64
