Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

When you perform an experiment on a population, the majority of the time, you cannot use the entire population, so instead you use a sample of that population.

In this case, you mark 130 MendAliens out of an unknown population. After that you capture 90, and see that 20 are marked. You can use this to assume that for every 90 MendAliens, you marked 20, so if you calculate that as a percentage, you would get 22.22%.

This means that you marked approximately 22% of the population, when you marked those 130 MendAliens. Using basic math, we can work backwards to calculate the total population.

Percentage (%) = Sample / Total

Inserting the values we know...

22.22% = 130 / Total

Rearranging the formula, we get...

Total = 130 / 22.22%

Since we know 22.22% is actually equal to (22.22 / 100)= 0.2222

Total = 130 / 0.2222

Total = 585

son4ous [18]

Answer:

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

A. 3.1 cm

B. 3.2 cm

C. 4.2 cm

D. 6.1 cm

we know that

An isosceles triangle has two equal sides and two equal interior angles

Let

x -----> the length of each of the two equal sides in the isosceles triangle

The perimeter of one isosceles triangle is equal to

P=2x+2

Remember that

To maximize the use of the wire, the perimeter of 6 earrings (3 pairs of earrings) must be equal to 50 cm

so

6(2x+2)=50

Solve for x

12x+12=50

12x=50-12

12x=38

x=\frac{38}{12}=3.16\ cm

therefore

The length of each of the other two sides would be  3.1 cm
