Mercury poisoning is dangerous overload of mercury within the body. A major source of mercury within the body, A major source of

mercury poisoning is consuming fish that contain mercury. Certain fish are more prone to having higher levels of mercury than others. The pie chart shows the distribution of four breeds of fish at a hatchery. The hatchery has approximately 6,000 fish. A biologist from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention randomly test 5% of each breed of fish for mercury content. Her findings are shown in the following table. Based on the biologist's findings, if a single salmon is randomly selected from those that were tested, what is the probability that this particular fish would have a dangerous mercury level?
A) 0.001
B) 0.004
C) 0.02
D) 0.08

Answer:

  D)  0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

The pie chart shows that of the 6000 fish in the hatchery, 1/4 of them, or 1500 fish are salmon. A 5% sample of that population will be ...

  0.05 × 1500 fish = 75 fish

If 6 of these have dangerous levels of mercury, the probability of randomly choosing a contaminated fish from the test group is ...

  6/75 = 8/100 = 0.08

Draw a figure with the given perimeter. 6 units
erica [24]
<span>We have to draw a figure with a perimeter 6 units. If we want to draw a rectangle it can`t be a 3 by 2 because it has a perimeter 2*2 + 2*3 = 4 + 6 = 10 units. It must be a 2 by 1 rectangle ( 2*2 + 2*1 = 4 + 2 = 6 units ).</span>

How do I find the value of y?
Arisa [49]

Answer:

The answer is that y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find y, you must first find x. You can do that by noting the two angles next to each other create a straight line and therefore are equal to 180 degrees.

(4x + 23) + (9x - 38) = 180

13x - 15 = 180

13x = 195

x = 15

Now that we have the value of x, we can use the alternating interior angle theorem to tell that 27y - 1 is equal to 4x + 23. Using our value for x, we can solve for y.

27y - 1 = 4x + 23

27y - 1 = 4(15) + 23

27y - 1 = 60 + 23

27y - 1 = 83

27y = 84

y = 3

What’s the correct answer for this?
makkiz [27]

Answer:

PO = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Since both the chords are equal in length so they must be equidistant from the centre.

And

PG = GO

-x+10 = -3(x+2)

-x+10 = -3x-6

-x+3x = -6-10

2x = -16

Dividing both sides by 2

x = -8

Now

PO = PG + GO

PO = -(-8)+10+(-3)((-8)+2)

PO = 8+10+(-3)(-6)

PO = 18+18

PO = 36
