Answer:

Option A 400 individuals

Explanation:

Using this formula, we can estimate the population size of the canvas backs as this is a capture-recapture method.

N = (MxC) / R

Where N = estimated Number of individuals in the population

M = number of individuals captured and Marked = 200

C = total number Captured the second time (with and without a mark) = 200 and

R= number of individuals Recaptured (those with a mark) = 100

Thus, we have

N = (MxC) / R

= (200 x 200) / 100

= (40,000) / 100

= 400 individuals.

A complete circuit contains two parallel-connected devices and a generator for providing the electromotive force. The resistance
romanna [79]
The answer is D. 3.33 A

In parallel connected devices, circuits are also placed parallel. It is known that in parallel circuits, total voltage is equal to the voltage of each device. 

So, we know that:
Device 1 - R1 = 12 ohms
Device 2 - R2 = 4 ohms
Total voltage - V = 40V = V1 = V2

If V = I × R, for the first device is V1 = I1/R1.
⇒ I1 = V1 ÷ R1
⇒ I1 = 40 V ÷ 12 ohms
⇒ I1 = 3,33 A
