Let's start with what we know:

Smaller canvas:
Length (L_{1}) = 3ft
Width (W_{1}) = 5ft

Larger canvas:
Length (L_{2}) = ?
Width (W_{2}) = 10ft

Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

\frac{ L_{1} }{ L_{2} } =  \frac{ W_{1} }{ W_{2} }
So let's plug it all in from above:

\frac{ 3 }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ 5 }{ 10 }
Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:

(3)(10) = (5)(L_{2})
30 = 5L_{2}
Now divide each side by 5 to isolate L_{2}

\frac{30}{5} =  \frac{ 5L_{2}}{5}
The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

6 =  L_{2}

So the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft

It's not as complicated as you think. The smaller rectangle is 3ft with a width of 5ft. It's asking what the length of the larger canvas is if the width is 10ft. So you pretty much just do 10/5 which is 2 then you multiply 3ft by 2 and you get 6ft.

If you need any help just ask :)

Alexxx [7]

Question options:

The standard deviation is 0.0998. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 250 fish in the river.

The standard deviation is 0.0998. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river.

The standard deviation is 0.9002. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river.

The standard deviation is 0.9002. The 10% condition is not met because there are less than 250 fish in the river.

We are unable to determine the standard deviation because we do not know the sample mean. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river

Answer:

The standard deviation is 0.0998. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river

Explanation:

Formula to calculate standard deviation = √p(1-p)/n

Given p= population proportion

n= sample size

From the question,

We are given p(population proportion of catfish in the river)= 0.47

n(sample size of fish collected from river) = 25

The standard deviation using the formula above = √0.47(1-0.47)/25

= 0.0998

The 10% condition demands that a sample size be not less than 10% of the population

To check if the 10% condition was met, we know that a river will likely have up to 250 fish in it and so,

10% of 250= 0.10×250=25 fish

Therefore the option B chosen is correct
