9514 1404 393

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

If 60% are yellow, the other 40% are green. Then the difference between yellow and green is 60% -40% = 20% of the total number of fish. That difference also happens to be half of the number of green fish:

  20% = (1/2)(40%)

So, the number of green fish is 2×3 = 6.

_____

If you wanted to, you could write a couple of equations:

  y - g = 3

  y = 0.60(y +g)

Using the first equation to write an expression for y, we get ...

  y = g +3

Using this in the second equation, we have ...

  g +3 = 0.6(g +3 +g)

  g +3 = 1.2g +1.8 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  1.2 = 0.2g . . . . . . . .  subtract g+1.8

  1.2/0.2 = g = 6 . . . . . divide by 0.2

There are 6 green fish in the aquarium.

Kitty [74]

Answer:

<em>The prediction interval provides an interval estimation for a particular value of y while the confidence interval does it for the expected value of y. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>A</em><em>. the prediction interval is narrower than the confidence interval.</em>

the prediction interval is always wider than the confidence interval.

<em>B</em><em>. the prediction interval provides an interval estimation for the expected value of y while the confidence interval does it for a particular value of y.</em>

False

<em>C</em><em>. the prediction interval provides an interval estimation for a particular value of y while the confidence interval does it for the expected value of y. </em>

<em>True</em>

<em>D.</em><em> the confidence interval is wider than the prediction interval.</em>

the prediction interval is  wider

A jug has a maximum capacity of 14 liters. is filled to 60% of its capacity, and then poured out at a rate of 60 mL/s. Which of
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

W(x) = 3.4 L - (25/1000)(L/s)*x

Step-by-step explanation:

          it a tip

W(x) = 3.4 L - (25/1000)(L/s)*x

The maximum of the jug is 4 L.

now, the jug is 85% filled, then the amount of water in the jug is:

(85%/100%)*4L = 0.85*4L = 3.4L

Now, we pour 25 mL each second, so we could write a linear equation as:

W(x) = 3.4L - (25ml/s)*x

where x is the number of seconds that passed since the beginning,

But we want to write this in Liters, we have that:

1L = 1000mL.

Then 1mL = (1/1000) L

then we can write 25 mL as:

25m L = 25*(1/1000) L = (25/1000) L

Then we can write the equation as

W(x) = 3.4 L - (25/1000)(L/s)*x

which is the amount of water remaining in the jug after x seconds.
