Shadow problems are usually solved with a proportion.
.. oak/(oak's shadow) = joey/(joey's shadow)
.. oak/(12 ft) = (6 ft)/(5 ft)
.. oak = (12 ft)*(6/5) = 14.4 ft . . . . . . . matches selection B

Forty-seven percent of fish in a river are catfish. Imagine scooping out a simple random sample of 25 fish from the river and ob
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer: The standard deviation is 0.0998. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river.

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution = \sqrt{\dfrac{p(1-p)}{n}} , where p= population proportion and n = sample size.

Let p be the proportion of  fish in a river are catfish.

As per given , we have

p= 0.47

n= 25

The, the standard deviation of the sampling distribution will be \sqrt{\dfrac{0.47(1-0.47)}{25}}

=\sqrt{0.009964}\approx0.0998

The 10% condition : Sample sizes should be no more than 10% of the population.

But a river can have more than 250 fish [where 10% of 250 =25 (sample size)]

i.e. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river.

So the correct answer is "The standard deviation is 0.0998. The 10% condition is met because it is very likely there are more than 250 fish in the river."
