A privately owned lake contains two types of game fish, bass and trout. The owner provides two types of food, A and B, for these

fish. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B, and trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B. If the owner has 1200 units of each food, find the maximum number of fish that the lake can support.

Answer: the maximum number of fish that the lake can support = 375 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b and t represent the bass and trout fish respectively.

Given that;

i. Bass require 2 units of food A and 4 units of food B

ii. trout require 5 units of food A and 2 units of food B

iii. the owner has 1200 units of each food

For food A

2b + 5t = 1200 ....eqn1

For food B

4b + 2t = 1200 ....eqn2

Solving the simultaneous equation

Multiplying eqn1 by 2. We have;

4b + 10t = 2400 .....eqn3

Subtract eqn2 from eqn3

4b-4b +10t-2t = 2400-1200

8t = 1200

t = 1200/8

t = 150

Substituting t= 150 into eqn1

2b + 5(150) = 1200

2b = 1200 - 750 = 450

b = 450/2 = 225

Therefore, the total number of fish is given as

t + b = 150 + 225 = 375

225 bass and 150 trout

iragen [17]

Answer:

Right or positively skewed

Step-by-step explanation:

From the median and the interquartile range we can find the first and third quartile values Q3=40.15+(4.98/2)=42.64 and Q1=37.66.

Now we have enough evidence to conclude that is Right or positively skewed

1. The mean is above the median

2. The mean is 43.70, which is above the third quartile (42.64), meaning that after the mean there's less than 30% of the data.

The evidence suggests that most of the data is concentrated at the bottom of the distribution making it right or positively skewed.
