Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Temperatures decrease with increasing altitude at an average of 6.4 C per km (3.5 F per 1000 ft). This is known as the normal lapse rate. However, the actual lapse rate, known as the environmental lapse rate, may vary considerable from this due to local weather conditions. This occurs int he troposphere.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
