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

If collecte 63 cans which is 21%. How many cans are 46%. And how many is 33% ?
EleoNora [17]
If 63 cand are 21% we must find out what 1% is
To do that we must divide 63 by 21
63/21 = 3
So 1%=3 cans
To find out what a percentage equals we must times it by 3
46 * 3 =138 cans
33*3 = 99 cans
Hope this helps :)

In a certain soccer tournament you play 6 games. In every match you get 3 points if you win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points if
Ann [662]

Answer:

0.430625 = 0.431

Step-by-step explanation:

Let W represent winning, D represent a draw and L represent a loss.

12+ points can be garnered in each of the following ways.

6W 0D 0L

5W 1D 0L

5W 0D 1L

4W 2D 0L

4W 1D 1L

4W 0D 2L

3W 3D 0L

The probability of getting 12+ points is the sum of all these 7 probabilities.

Knowing that P(W) = 0.5

P(D) = 0.1

P(L) = 0.4

P(6W 0D 0L) = [6!/(6!0!0!)] 0.5⁶ 0.1⁰ 0.4⁰ = 0.015625

P(5W 1D 0L) = [6!/(5!1!0!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1¹ 0.4⁰ = 0.01875

P(5W 0D 1L) = [6!/(5!0!1!)] 0.5⁵ 0.1⁰ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 2D 0L) = [6!/(4!2!0!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1² 0.4⁰ = 0.09375

P(4W 1D 1L) = [6!/(4!1!1!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1¹ 0.4¹ = 0.075

P(4W 0D 2L) = [6!/(4!0!2!)] 0.5⁴ 0.1⁰ 0.4² = 0.15

P(3W 3D 0L) = [6!/(3!3!0!)] 0.5³ 0.1³ 0.4⁰ = 0.0025

The probability of getting 12+ points = 0.015625 + 0.01875 + 0.075 + 0.09375 + 0.075 + 0.15 + 0.0025 = 0.430625
