Part of the population of 6,250 elk at a wildlife preserve is infected with a parasite. A random sample of 50 elk shows that 6 of them are infected. How many elk are likely to be infected? Based on the sample, there will likely be infected elk in the wildlife preserve.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 750

====================================================

Explanation:

6 in the sample of 50 are infected, so 6/50 = 12/100 = 12% are infected in the sample. We expect this percentage to carry over to the entire population assuming we picked a representative random sample that isn't biased.

12% of 6250 = 0.12*650 = 750 is the expected number of infected individuals in the population.

----------

Here's an alternative way you can solve through a proportion

(number infected)/(total) = (number infected)/(total)

6/50 = x/6250

6*6250 = 50x ... cross multiply

37500 = 50x

50x = 37500

x = 37500/50 ... divide both sides by 50

x = 750

The transformation of a function is horizontally shrink by a factor of 3 .

What is a horizontal shrink?We can apply horizontal shrink to a function by multiplying its input values by a scale factor, a, where 0 < 1/a < 1.

Let’s go ahead and look at how f(x) = x2 will be affected by a scale factor of 1/2 and 1/3.

Below is a graph of the data.As we have expected, the graph stretches by a factor of 2 and 3. This is true for all horizontal stretches. The graph only stretches away from the y-axis when we horizontally stretch a graph.Horizontal stretch on other functions will exhibit similar properties. Let’s say we have f(x) = |x|, if this function’s graph is to be stretched horizontally to attain g(x), the new function’s expression can be expressed as |1/3 ∙ x| = |x/3|.

How do you horizontally shrink  by a factor of 3 ?

If g(x) = 3f (x): For any given input, the output of g is three times the output of f, so the graph is stretched vertically by a factor of 3. If g(x) = f (3x): For any given output, the input of g is one-third the input of f, so the graph is shrunk horizontally by a factor of 3.

Answers

Answer:

5x^(5/6)

Step-by-step explanation:

we will use properties of exponents

x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

and

x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)

___________________________________

(125x^4y3/2)1/3÷(xy)1/2\\

expanding each term by taking power for each component of expression

=>125^(1/3) x^(4/3) y(3/2*1/3) ÷ x(1/2)y(1/2)

=>5*x^(4/3) y(1/2) ÷ x(1/2)y(1/2)

using property =   x^a/x^b = x^(a-b)

=>5x^(4/3 - 1/2) y^(1/2 -1/2)

y^(0) = 1

=> 5x^((4*2-3)/3*2) *1

=> 5x^(5/6)

Thus, value of expression is 5x^(5/6)

Begin by studying the pattern.

Notice that the difference between 0.8 and 1 is 0.2.

In other words, 0.8 + 0.2 is 1.

In the same way, 1 + 0.2 is 1.2.

1.2 + 0.2 is 1.4 and 1.4 + 0.2 is 1.6.

So we can see that the difference

between each of the terms is 0.2.

Answer:

+.2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the common difference, take the second term and subtract the first term

1 - .8 = .2

Check by subtracting the second term from the third term

1.2 - 1 = .2

The common difference is .2

a quadrilateral with two right angles must be an a trapezoid a square a rectangle or no classification guaranteed

Answers

Answer:

No classification guaranteed

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parrallel sides.

A rectangle has 4 right angles

A square has all 4 sides being congruent

A trapezoid only needs 1 pair of parrallel lines. However some trapezoids have no right angles but some do. In the context of your question it is probably a trapezoid. However, it is no classification guaranteed.

Is through BYU IS?

The correct option is Option A: a quadrilateral with only two right angles is a trapezoid.

What is a trapezoid?

The quadrilateral whose one pair of opposite sides are parallel is called the trapezoid.

So, if one side of the trapezoid touches the parallel side at right angles then it will form 90° with both of the parallel lines. Then two right angles will be formed in the quadrilateral.

A trapezoid is only required quadrilateral to have a pair of parallel sides. However, a trapezoid can have one of the sides connecting the two parallel sides and perpendicular to the parallel sides which would give two right angles. The picture is given below.

Therefore quadrilateral with only two right angles is a trapezoid.

Joe is responsible for reserving hotel rooms for a company trip. His company changes plans and increases how many people are going on the trip, so they need at least 50 total rooms. Joe had already reserved and paid for 16 rooms, so he needs to reserve additional rooms. He can only reserve rooms in blocks, and each block contains 8 rooms and costs $900. Let B represent the number of additional blocks that Joe reserves. 1) Which inequality describes this scenario? 2)What is the least amount of money that Joe can spend to get the amount of rooms they need? Work not needed!

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

1) The number of rooms Joe company needs is 50. Let the number of rooms needed be n, this can be represented by the inequality:

n ≥ 50

Joe has already reserved 16 rooms, therefore the number of additional rooms needed to be reserved = 50 - 16 = 34 rooms. At least 34 rooms have to be reserved, if B is the number of additional blocks that Joe reserves, the inequality is:

B ≥ 34

2) Each block contains 8 rooms therefore the minimum number of block (a) needed to be reserved = 34/8 = 4.25 = 5 to the next whole number. Therefore the minimum number of blocks needed is given as:

a ≥ 5

Since each block cost $900, let c represent the minimum amount of money needed, therefore the least amount of money needed is given as:

c = $900(5) = $4500

c ≥ $4500

Here, we are required to determine which inequality describes the scenario in the question and the least amount of money that Joe can spend to get the amount of rooms they need.

(1) The inequality which best describes the scenario is; B ≥ 4.25.

(2) The least amount of money that Joe can spend to get the amount of rooms they need is; $4500

First, since they need at least 50 total rooms and Joe had already reserved 16 rooms.

Therefore, Joe needs to reserve an additional 34 rooms to completely accomodate people who are going on the trip.

And since, he can only reserve rooms in blocks with each block containing 8 rooms;

The number of blocks he needs to reserve; B ≥ 4.25.

Therefore, since only whole blocks can be reserved, Joe needs to reserve 5 blocks.

Therefore, since one block costs $900, then, 5 blocks will cost $900 × 5 = $4500.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write out what you know.

So, you know that you have 3 liters.

Together, they cost $5.70.

You want to know the unit price, for 1 liter.

Therefore, you would divide $5.70 by 3:

Sandy had test scores of 20, 25, 17, 22, and 21. What is the average (mean) score. On the next 3 test Sandy's score were 24, 24, and 23. What is her mean now?

Answers

Answer:

a) First Average mean = 21

b) Current mean = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula For mean =

Sum of Terms/ Number of terms

a)Sandy had test scores of 20, 25, 17, 22, and 21.

Number of terms = 5

Mean = (20 + 25 + 17 + 22 + 21)/5

= 105/5

= 21

b) On the next 3 test Sandy's score were 24, 24, and 23

To calculate this current mean, we will add the first 5 test scores, with this current 3 test scores and then find the average.

Mean = (20+ 25+ 17 +22 +21 + 24 + 24 + 23)/8

Mean = 176/8

Mean = 22

Height = x

x =  from top of the stairs
