Answer:
539
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total population of grizzly bears=x
In the first capture, 97 were tagged.
Therefore, ratio of the total population to the tagged=x:97
A month later, when 200 bears were captured, 36 were tagged.
Ratio of the sample to the tagged=200:36
Since a sample is representative of the population, the ratios are the same. We therefore have:
x:97=200:36
There are about 539 grizzly bears in the population
Consider rectangular box with
The volume of the rectangular box can be calculated as
In your case,
Note that maximal possible value of the height can be 8 units (when x=0 - minimal possible length) and the minimal possible height can be 0 units (when x=8 - maximal possible length).
From the attached graph you can see that the greatest x-intercept is x=8, then the height will be minimal and lenght will be maximal.
Then the volume will be V=0 (minimal).
Answer: correct choices are B (the maximum possible length), C (the minimum possible height)
