This is a linear equation or y=mx+c. Where y is the number of mosquitos at a particular month and x is the number of months. We know the initial population of the mosquitoes is c=20. They population doubles every month so this is the gradient, m=2. Therefore the equation for the growth of the mosquito population is:
y = 2x + 20.
So after x= 10 months the mosquito population will be,
y=2(10)+20= 40.
There will be 40 mosquitoes after ten months.
Marked(10)/total = 3/20 (from sample)
total/10 = 20/3 (inverting the above proportion)
total = 10•20/3 = 200/3 ≈ 67
3 3/4 this would be your answer hope this is helpful
The answer is 5.9% I think because you have to round up if it’s 5 and above
