Suppose a scientist finds that the average female gorilla needs to have at least 2.1 surviving offspring in order for the population to replace itself from generation to generation. How would she write an inequality that shows the number of offspring (c) that will cause the population to decrease from generation to generation?(1 point)
A) c>2.1
B) c<2.1
C) c≥2.1
D) c≠2.1
To write an inequality that shows the number of offspring (c) that will cause the population to decrease from generation to generation, the scientist will want to express that the number of offspring (c) should be less than the replacement threshold of 2.1. Therefore, the correct inequality would be:
B) c<2.1
