Which technique for gathering data (observational study or experiment) do you think was used in the following studies?(a) The Co

lorado Division of Wildlife netted and released 774 fish at Quincy Reservoir. There were 219 perch, 315 blue gill, 83 pike, and 157 rainbow trout.-This is an observational study because observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.-This is an experiment because observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.-This is an experiment because a treatment was deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response or variable being measured.-This is an observational study because a treatment was deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response or variable being measured.(b) The Colorado Division of Wildlife caught 41 bighorn sheep on Mt. Evans and gave each one an injection to prevent heartworm.

Answer:

For question a, the correct option is: This is an observational study because observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.

For question b, the correct option is: This is an experiment because observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.

For question c, the correct option is: This is an experiment because a treatment was deliberately imposed on the individuals in order to observe a possible change in the response or variable being measured.

For question d, the correct option is: This is an observational study because observations and measurements of individuals are conducted in a way that doesn't change the response or the variable being measured.

Step-by-step explanation: To give us a background on why the options above were chosen, let us see the difference between Observational study and Experimental study.

In an observational study, the researcher draws inferences from an independent variable that is not under his/her control. While in an experimental study, there in an intervention and the effects of the intervention are studied.

Therefore, in the questions a to d above, all we need to do is identity which variables were influenced and which were merely observed.

For question a, the variables were only observed.

For question b, the variables were influenced.

For question c, the variables were also influenced.

For question d, the variables were merely observed.

Help please. Im trying to do my homework but i don't understand how to.
Neko [114]
V = (4/3) pi  r^3

9.  V = (4/3)(3.14)(7.62)^3 = 1852.4  meters^3
10. V = (4/3)(3.14)(33/2)^3 = 18,807.0  inches^3
11. V = (4/3)(3.14)(18.4/2)^3 = 3260.1  feet^3
12. V = (4/3)(3.14)(sqrt3)/2)^3 = 2.7 cm^3
13. C = 2*pi*r ;   24 = 2 * 3.14 * r;   24/6.28 = r ; r = 3.82
   V = (4/3)(3.14)(3.82)^3 = 233.4 in^3
14.V = (4/3)(3.14)(35.8)^3 = 192,095.6  mm^3

It was recently estimated that females outnumber males by about three or two. If there are 1770 people in a county, how many of
max2010maxim [7]

GIVEN

1) Females outnumber males by 3 to 2.

2) There are 1770 people in the city.

SOLUTION

Let the number of males be x and the number of females y. Therefore, the total number of people can be written to be:

x+y=1770\text{   -----------(1)}

If there are 3 females for every 2 males, we have that:

\begin{gathered} \frac{y}{3}=\frac{x}{2} \\ \therefore \\ x=\frac{2y}{3}\text{   ----------(2)} \end{gathered}

We can substitute equation (2) into equation (1) and solve for y:

\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{3}y+y=1770 \\ \frac{2y+3y}{3}=1770 \\ 5y=1770\times3 \\ 5y=5310 \end{gathered}

Dividing both sides by 5, we have

y=1062

There are 1062 females in the county.
