The animal department wants to estimate baboon population. So they paint 50 baboons with a mark. These baboons were then release

d into the jungle. After two months 300 baboons were caught. Among these baboons 25 were marked. To the nearest whole number what is the best estimate for the baboon population?

Answer:

  600 baboons

Step-by-step explanation:

Half the number of marked baboons showed up in the sample, so we expect the sample size to be about half of the total population. 300 is half of 600.

___

Many assumptions are involved in such an experiment and analysis. Not the least of which are the assumptions that the marked baboons end up evenly distributed through the population, and that the sample is a fair sample of the entire population.

Rewrite the expression $6j^2 - 4j 12$ in the form $c(j p)^2 q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$
solniwko [45]

Rewrite the expression  6j^2 - 4j + 12$ in the form $c(j + p)^2 + q$, where $c$, $p$, and $q$ are constants. What is $\frac{q}{p}$

The ratio of \frac{q}{p}  = - 34

How to solve such questions?

Such Questions can be easily solved just by some Algebraic manipulations and simplifications. We just try to make our expression in the form which question asks us. This is the best method to solve such questions as it will definitely lead us to correct answers. One such method is completing the square method.

Completing the square is a method that is used for converting a quadratic expression of the form ax^{2} + bx + c to the vertex form

a(x - h)^{2} + k. The most common application of completing the square is in solving a quadratic equation. This can be done by rearranging the expression obtained after completing the square: a(x + m)^{2} + n, such that the left side is a perfect square trinomial

$6j^2 - 4j +12$

=  $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j )+12$

= $6(j^2 - \frac{2}{3} j  +  \frac{1}{9}  )+\frac{102}{9}                   (Completing Square method)

=6( j- \frac{1}{3} )^{2}  +  \frac{34}{3}

On comparing with the given equation we get

p = - \frac{1}{3}     and q = \frac{34}{3}

∴ \frac{q}{p} = \frac{\frac{34}{3} }{\frac{-1}{3} }

= - 34

Vicki's age=5+2a

sum of their ages= 29

So, the equation is

  (5+2a)+a=29

       5+3a=29
