## Calculations
1. Estimated Pressure (using Boyle's Law):
P2 = (P1 * V1) / V2
Where:
- P1 = Initial pressure (101.325 kPa)
- V1 = Initial volume (mL)
- V2 = New volume (mL)
- P2 = New pressure to be calculated (kPa)
2. Survival Rate:
Survival Rate (%) = (Number of surviving mosquitoes / Initial number of mosquitoes) * 100
