If this occurred over a span of 35 years and the population doubles every 7 years, we can divide 35 by 7 to find how many times the population has doubled, which would be 5 times. If we divide 60,000 by 2 (or multiply by 1/2) 5 times, you would get the answer, which would be 1,875.

it is 5 periods - 7 years each, 5*7 =35 years

120000-->60000-->30000-->15000-->7500-->3750


Initial population was = 3750 squirrels

(Note: a research study on coniferous trees of the American West
eimsori [14]

Answer:

p = 0.07

p-hat = 0.035

p0 = 0.07

p-value = 0.003

Step-by-step explanation:

p = population parameter, in this case, the rate of infestations across all trees in the forest

p-hat = test statistic, in this case, the rate of infestations found in the sample of trees, i.e. those in Doug's backyard

p0 = the null hypothesis, in this case, the rate of infestations within the forest is correctly evaluated at 0.07 or 7%

p-value = the likelihood any difference between p and p-hat is down to chance

In this case 0.003 as the p-value means there is only 0.3% probability of our statistic value of 0.035 being down to variability and chance meaning it is 99.7% likely that there is some reason behind this difference;

We would accept the alternative hypothesis which says the current parameter value, 0.07, is in fact incorrect (either too high or too low, in this case, likely too high).

120 square inches because a circle is 360 degrees so there will be 6 60 degree sections in it and each 60 degree section needs 20 square inches to cover it  so 6 x 20= 120
