The correct answer is B. Stratified sampling is used since the field is divided into subplots and a random sample is taken from each subplot.
Explanation:
Sampling refers to the process followed by researchers to select a group of individuals from a larger group; considering in most studies it is not possible to analyze all the population. In the case of stratified sampling, this involves dividing the general population into smaller groups, which are known as strata; after this, the researcher selects a specific number of individuals from each strata. This method guarantees the sample is selected randomly, and therefore the study is not biased. Stratified sampling was the method used in the example described because, in this, the general population (46-acre field) was divided into subplots that represent the strata. Also, after this, the researcher selected one random sample.
To solve this question, you need to first look at the total amount of birds and then at the percentage of the blue jays that fed on the bird feeder out of all the other birds.
To calculate the total you add them all together:
59+68+12+1 = 140 birds
Then the percentages of the blue jays that fed on his bird feeder are:
59/140 *100 = 42.143%
You want to see how many blue jays we can expect to see out of 300 birds.
So you divide 300 by 100 to see what 1% is = 3 birds
Then you multiply this amount (1% = 3 birds) by 42.134% which is the percentage of blue jays we can expect to see out of the 300 birds.
3*42.134 = 126.43
You round this off to 126 because you cant expect to see half a bird. Even if the answer had been 126.9, you would have rounded it of to 126 because no matter how close it is to the next whole number; you either have a whole bird or you don't.
Final Answer = 126
1/9
Find the common denominator, 1/3 can be multiplied to get to ninths. 1/3 is equivalent to 3/9, and so 4/9 minus 3/9 is 1/9.
I think the answer would be
X=1.5
Y= -10 or -12 or 12
