Answer:

15 Blue Jays

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Blue Jays tagged = 22

Number of Blue jays captured = 550

Estimate of the Blue Jay population = 825

We need to find out how many Blue Jays out of 550 were tagged ones. Remember that in the beginning there were no tagged Blue Jays and Marley tagged 22 of them. This means total number of tagged Blue Jays in the entire population is 22. Rest of the blue Jays are not tagged. Marley calculated the estimated Blue Jay population using the proportions.

Assume that from 550, x Blue Jays were tagged. Out of 825 Blue Jays, 22 are tagged. The proportion of tagged Blue Jays in 550 must be equal to the proportion of tagged Blue Jays in entire population. i.e.

x : 550 = 22 : 825\\\\ \frac{x}{550}=\frac{22}{825}\\\\ x=\frac{22}{825} \times 550\\\\x =14.7

Since, the number of Blue Jays cannot be in decimal, we round it up to the nearest integer 15.This means, out of 550 trapped 15 Blue Jays were the tagged ones. Based on this Marley estimated the Blue Jays Population size.

dlinn [17]

Answer: 9,953

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to find what the sales tax rate is for the first car because it will be the same for the second.

11,900/767 = .064

Now to find the cost of the second car we divide.

637/.064 = 9,953.125 Round to nearest dollar.

Which of the following exponential regression equations best fits the data shown below
Art [367]

Answer:

(D) 8.46\cdot 3.51^x

Step-by-step explanation:

One could run this on a computer and verify the best fit through brute force. The more elegant way is, as usual, to think: What are special values of x for an exponential function? Zero, for starters - anything to the power of zero is 1. The function value for x=0 in the table is 10. Which choices A through D are close to 10 for x=0? Well, (C) and (D), the rest is too far. Next, what is the function value for the next easy one, x=1? The table says 30. Which of (C) and (D) is close to 30 for x = 1. It turns out we can safely exclude (C) because 10.84*1.77 is about 19 and that's way too far from 30. Let's check (D): 8.46*3.51=29.7 - that's quite close. Since there is no other candidate left, I bet my money on (D). Feel free to verify closeness for the other values of x if you are unconvinced yet.
