Tony wants to estimate the number of bees in a beehive. He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye. He then

lets the bees go. The next day, tony catches 60 bees from the hive. 15 of these bees have been marked with dye. A) using this information what is a good estimate for the number of bees in the beehive.

Answer:

Number of total bees = 400

Step-by-step explanation:

He catches 100 bees from the hive and marks each one with a dye.

He later catches 60 and 15 were marked with the dye.

Its very to estimate from the data given.

I'll answer it with ratio.

We'll ratio number of bees with dye to total he caught the second day.

I.e 15:60 = 1:4

We'll multiply this ratio with the number he caught the first day to know the total.

1/4x =100

X = 100*4

X= 400

Where x is the total number of bees in the bee hive.

Alejandro rounded the number 76.518 to 76.5. Jiro rounded the same number to 76.52. Who is correct? Explain your reasoning
sergeinik [125]
Alejandro is correct because you do not need to add another number to 76.518, as Jiro did, but you need to round it to the nearest tenth.

Glad I could help, and good luck!

What is the solution of the system? use the substitution method. {y−2x=816 4x=2y the only solution is (24, 0) . the only solutio
Butoxors [25]
To determine the answer it would be helpful if we write this equation into the slope intercept form which is expressed as:

y = mx+b

<span> y−2x=816
y = 2x + 816

4x=2y
y = 2x

We can see that the slope of the two equations are the same. Therefore, they are parallel which means they do not intersect. The correct answer is the third option, there is no solution.</span>

A number cube has the numbers 1, 2, 5, 5, 6, and 6 on its faces. Match the probability with the outcome. 1. P(5 ∪ 6) 2. P(2 ∪ 5
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

1. P(5 U 6) =2/3

2. P(2 U 5 U 6) = 5/6

3. P(1 U 2) = 1/3

4. P(4) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

As the number cube has 6 sides,

So,

Total outcomes = {1,2,5,5,6,6}

n(S) = 6

Now,

1. P(5U6) = P(5) + P(6)

P(5)=2/6=1/3

P(6)=2/6=1/3

P(5U6)= 1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

2. P(2 U 5 U 6) = P(2) + P(5) + P(6)

P(2)=1/6

P(5)=2/6

P(6)=2/6

P(2 U 5 U 6) = 1/6 + 2/6 + 2/6

= 5/6

3. P(1 U 2) = P(1) + P(2)

P(1) = 1/6

P(2)= 1/6

P(1 U 2) = 1/6 + 1/6

= 2/6 = 1/3

4. P(4) = 0

As 4 is not in the outcomes, it's probability will be zero ..
