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 sum of 5 consecutive even numbers is 130. find the numbers.

Answers

Answer:

22, 24, 26, 28, 30

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sum of 5 numbers is 130, that means the average of these numbers is 26.

If it is the average then it is the middle, or the third number. The two numbers before it would then be 22 and 24 by subtracting twos, and the two numbers after it would be 28 and 30 by adding twos.

22, 24, 26, 28, 30

Answer:

22,24,26,28,30

Step-by-step explanation:

I call the unknown number x

I write consecutive numbers in terms of x.

x+ (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) + (x+8) = 130

5x + 20 = 130

5x = (130 - 20)

5x = 110

x = 22 = smallest even number

x + 2 = 24 = second even number

x +4 = 26

x + 6 = 28

x + 8 = 30

Clarissa and Shawna, working together, can paint the exterior of a house in 6 days. Clarissa by herself can complete this in 5 days less than Shawna. how long will it take Clarissa to complete the job by herself?

Answers

Answer:

Clarissa will take 10 hours by herself

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s = time for shawna

s-5 = time for clarissa

The formula for determining the time is

1/a + 1/b = 1/c  where a and b are the times alone and c is the time together

1/s + 1/(s-5) = 1/6

Multiply each side by 6s(s-5) to clear the fractions

6s(s-5) ( 1/s + 1/(s-5)) = 1/6 *6s(s-5)

Distribute

6(s-5) + 6s = s(s-5)

Distribute

6s -30 +6s = s^2 -5s

Combine like terms

12s -30 = s^2 -5s

Move everything to the right

0 = s^2 -5s -12s +30

0 = s^2 -17s +30

Factor

0 = ( s-15) (s-2)

Using the zero product property

s-15 =0   s-2 =0

s =15     s=2 ( This is not a reasonable answer since it is less than the time together)

s=15

s-5 = 10

Clarissa will take 10 hours by herself

The surface area, A, of a cylinder of radius, r, and height, h, can be found with the equation above. Which of the following correctly shows the cylinder's height in terms of its radius and surface area?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

If r and h are the radius and height of the cylinder, then its surface area A is given by :

[tex]A=2\pi r^2+2\pi rh[/tex] ....(1)

We need to find the cylinder's height in terms of its radius and surface area. Subtracting [tex]2\pi rh[/tex] on both sides, we get :

[tex]A-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh+2\pi r^2-2\pi r^2\\\\A-2\pi r^2=2\pi rh[/tex]

Dividing both sides by [tex]2\pi r[/tex]. So,

[tex]\dfrac{A-2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}=\dfrac{2\pi rh}{2\pi r}\\\\h=\dfrac{A-2\pi r^2}{2\pi r}[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

X
96°
x =
degrees

Answers

Answer:

x=144°

Step-by-step explanation:

To work out x, you have to find the other angle in the triangle.

Angles in triangles always add up to 180°, so you would have to add up the 2 angles you have and take it away from 180°.

48+96=144°

180-144=36°

Then, to find x, you have to do 180-36 because angles on a straight line always add up to 180°.

180-36=144°

x=144°

Hope this helps :)

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its interior opposite angles.

So,

[tex]\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm \: x \: = \: 96 \degree \: + \: 48 \degree }}} \\ [/tex]

[tex]\large\bf{{\red{ \longrightarrow \:\large\rm \: x \: = \: 144 \degree }}} \\ [/tex]


Two supplementary angles measure (7x + 11) and (14x + 1)º. What is
the measure of the smaller angle?
(1) 40.5°
(2) 67°
(3) 108°
(4) 123°

Answers

Answer:

67 degrees (Answer 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

These two angles must sum up to 180 degreess because they are supplementary.  Then:

7x + 11 + 14x + 1 = 180, or

21x + 12 = 180, or

21x = 168

Solving for x, we divide both sides by 21.  This results in x = 8.

The measure of the smaller angle is 7x + 11, which here is 7(8) + 11 = 67 degrees (Answer 2).

Use inverse operations to solve each equation. Explain each step and identify the property used to reach step. 19 = h/3 - 8

Answers

Answer:  h = 81

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

Explanation:

19 = h/3 - 8

19+8 = h/3 - 8+8  .... see note 1

27 = h/3

h/3 = 27

3*(h/3) = 3*27 .... see note 2

h = 81

----------

note 1: We add 8 to both sides to undo the "minus 8". This is the addition property of equality. Addition is the inverse of subtraction. note 2: We use the multiplication property of equality. This is where we can multiply both sides by the same number and keep the equation the same (basically balancing both sides). Multiplication is the opposite of division.

Answers

Answer:

(0,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y = 3

x+2y = -6

Multiply the first equation by 2 so we can eliminate y

2(2x-y =3)

4x -2y = 6

Add this to the second equation

4x -2y = 6

x+2y = -6

-----------------

5x +0y = 0

x = 0

Now find t

x+2y = -6

0+2y = -6

2y =-6

Divide by 2

y = -3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's try to eliminate y.

First we multiply the first equation by 2,

4x - 2y = 6

x + 2y = -6

Then we add them together

5x = 0

x = 0

Now we plug x into the first equation,

4(0) - 2y = 6

-2y = 6

y= -3

Now we plug x into the second equation,

0 + 2y = -6

2y = -6

y = -3

So our answer is,

(0,-3)

The equation of the perpendicular line (PR) to line PQ is; y = -0.5x - 1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The line is perpendicular to line adjoined by points P(-3,0) and Q(0,6)

The slope of line PQ is;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x = [tex]\frac{6 - 0}{0 -- 3}[/tex] = 2

The product of slopes of two perpendicular lines = -1

Hence the slope of line PR = -1 ÷ slope of line PQ = -1/2

Taking another point (x,y) and point P(-3,0) the equation of line PR is;

Slope = [tex]\frac{y - 0}{x - -3} = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Cross-multiplying gives;

2y = -x - 3 , y = -x/2 - 3/2 , y = -0.5x - 1.5

Which can be expanded to give;

(-√3·a - a) × (-√3·a - a) = 3·a² + 2·√3·a² +a²

We collect like terms to get;

3·a² + 2·√3·a² +a² =  3·a² +a²+ 2·√3·a² = 4·a² + 2·√3·a²

We factorize out the common coefficients of the terms  to have;

Which gives the initial expression (-root3·a - a)², to presented in the form a² × (4 + 2·√3).
