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

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

Help pls!!
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

C) 33 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we need to find the value of the variable "x".

To do this, we must use the Pythagorean theorem: a² + b² = c²

Plug in your values and solve:

56² + b² = 65²

3,136 + b² = 65²

3,136 + b² = 4,225

Subtract 3,136 from both sides.

b² = 1,089

To cancel out the exponent, we would square root both sides.

√b² = √1,089

b = 33

This means that C) 33 meters will be your answer.
