Let’s say we want to find the size of a deer population. Suppose that we capture 80 deer, tag them, and release them back into t

he forest. After some time has passed—allowing the marked deer to thoroughly mix with the rest of the population—we come back and capture another 100 deer. Out of these deer, we find that 20 are already marked. Using this information, what can you estimate the deer population to be?
A. 1,000
B. 400
C. 200
D. 800
E. 600

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

20/100 = 80/x

Cross multiply and divide

100 X 80 = 8000 / 20 = 400

suppose that 23% of the people have a dog, 18% of the people have a cat and 5% of people own both. what is the probability that
mixer [17]
<h2>Addition</h2><h3>Concept</h3>

Add units together in order to reach a sum.

<h3>Utilization</h3>

In this problem, you are told to find the probability (or %) that someone owns either a dog, OR a cat. If they own both - then they do in fact own a dog or cat. So the formula is:

dog owners % + cat owners % + both owners %

Aka,

23 + 18 + 5 = 46

<h3>Answer</h3>

The answer is 46% of people own either a cat or a dog, because 23% + 18% + 5% is 46%.

The ratio of three angles of a triangle is 1:2:3. Find the measurement of the angles
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

all the angles add up to 180 degrees

So 180÷6=30

(i got 6 cuz 1+2+3)

so 1=30

2=30*2=60

3=30*3=90

Which equation represents the equation of the parabola with focus (-3 3) and directrix y=7?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

The equation y=\frac{-x^2-6x+31}{8} represents the equation of the parabola with focus (-3, 3) and directrix y = 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation of the parabola with focus (-3, 3) and directrix y = 7. We start by assuming a general point on the parabola (x, y).

Using the distance formula d = \sqrt {\left( {x_1 - x_2 } \right)^2 + \left( {y_1 - y_2 } \right)^2 }, we find that the distance between (x, y) is

\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-3)^2}

and the distance between (x, y) and the directrix y = 7 is

\sqrt{(y-7)^2}.

On the parabola, these distances are equal so, we solve for y:

\sqrt{(x+3)^2+(y-3)^2}=\sqrt{(y-7)^2}\\\\\left(\sqrt{\left(x+3\right)^2+\left(y-3\right)^2}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{\left(y-7\right)^2}\right)^2\\\\x^2+6x+y^2+18-6y=\left(y-7\right)^2\\\\x^2+6x+y^2+18-6y=y^2-14y+49\\\\y=\frac{-x^2-6x+31}{8}
