Answer:

Expected counts: 55 ducks, 25 geese, 13 cranes, 11 swans, 6 heron

Observed counts:

61 ducks, 17 geese, 11 cranes, 15 swans, and 6 herons.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 61+17+11+15+6 = 110 birds on the lake.

The expected counts are:

0.50*110 = 55 ducks

0.23*110 = 25 geese

0.12*110 = 13 cranes

0.10*110 = 11 swans

0.05*110 = 6 herons

What the biologist counted were the observed counts.

There are two boxes containing only black and orange pens.
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Event 3 -> Event 1 -> Event 4 -> Event 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability of choosing a certain pen is the number of that pen in the box over the total number of pens in the box.

So we have that:

Event 1: We have 4 black pen and 20 total pens, so P = 4 / 20 = 1 / 5

Event 2: All pens are black or orange so the probability is 1.

Event 3: We don't have white pens, so the probability is 0.

Event 4: We have 2 black pen and 5 total pens, so P = 2 / 5

Listing from least likely to most likely, we have:

Event 3 -> Event 1 -> Event 4 -> Event 2

4. The area of a rhombus with one diagonal is 8.72 cm long is the same as the area of a square of side 15.6 cm. Find the length
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

55.82 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

d1= 8.72 cm

a= 15.6 cm

A rhombus= 1/2*d1*d2 = A square

A square= 15.6²= 243.36 cm²

d2= 2A/d1= 2*243.36/8.72 ≈55.82 cm

F(x) = 3x + 6 please help quickly!!!!!!!
Georgia [21]

Given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}

<em><u>Given:</u></em>

  • f(x) = 3x + 6

<em>We are told to find:</em>

  1. f(a)
  2. f(a + h), and
  3. \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

1. <em><u>Find f(a):</u></em>

  • Substitute x = a into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a) = 3(a) + 6

f(a) = 3a + 6

<em>2. Find f(a + h):</em>

  • Substitute x = a + h into f(x) = 3x + 6

f(a + h) = 3(a + h) + 6

f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6

<em>3. Find </em>\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}<em>:</em>

  • Plug in the values of f(a + h) and f(a) into \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h}

Thus:

\frac{((3a + 3h + 6) - (3a + 6)) }{h}\\\\\frac{(3a + 3h + 6 - 3a - 6) }{h}\\\\

  • Add like terms

\frac{(3a - 3a + 3h + 6 - 6) }{h}\\\\= \frac{3h }{h}\\\\\mathbf{= 3}

Therefore, given the function, <em>f(x) = 3x + 6,</em> we can solve for f(a), f(a + h) and \frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} by substituting their values into f(x) = 3x + 6. We will have the following:

\mathbf{f(a) = 3a + 6}\\\\\mathbf{f(a + h) = 3a + 3h + 6}\\\\\mathbf{\frac{(f(a + h) - f(a)) }{h} = 6}
