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.

What fraction of a clockwise revolution does the hour hand of a clock turn through, when it goes from a) 5 to 11? b)2 to 8? c)10
LenKa [72]

Answer: 1/2, 1/2, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the fraction that the hour hand turns of a clockwise revolution, we have to find how long it is going then divide by 12

Ex. a) 11 - 5 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

b) 8 - 2 = 6, 6/12 = 1/2 so the hour hand turns by 1/2 of a clockwise revolution

c) For this, we have to convert 1 into 13 as 1 - 10 is a negative number

13 - 10 = 3, 3/12 = 1/4 so the hour hand turns by 1/4 of a clockwise revolution
