Answer: B.population

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a lurking variable is a variable that is not included in the analysis as an explanatory variable or response variable but it can affect the results of the analysis of relationships between variables.

In statistics, the population represents a very large group of participants that have at least one common feature.

Given: In a study of towns there was a positive correlation between the number of mail boxes and number of traffic lights in a town.  But it actually depends on the population too. So the interpretation here can be affected by the population.

Therefore, the population is most likely the lurking variable that explains the correlation .

In order to do this, we need to look at the info.
Here is what we know:
Each lizard eats the same amount.
They need to buy 36 crickets.
There are three lizards.
What we need to know:
How many crickets does each lizard eat?
How to solve:
Divide 36 by three.
Math:
36/3 = 12.
Final answer:
Each lizard eats 12 crickets.

Evaluate the limit
wel

We are given with a limit and we need to find it's value so let's start !!!!

{\quad \qquad \blacktriangleright \blacktriangleright \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}

But , before starting , let's recall an identity which is the <em>main key</em> to answer this question

  • {\boxed{\bf{a^{2}-b^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)}}}

Consider The limit ;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}}

Now as directly putting the limit will lead to <em>indeterminate form 0/0.</em> So , <em>Rationalizing</em> the <em>numerator</em> i.e multiplying both numerator and denominator by the <em>conjugate of numerator </em>

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}\times \dfrac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}{(x^{2}-4^{2})(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Using the above algebraic identity ;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-(\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})^{2}}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-(3\sqrt{x}-2)}{(x-4)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}+2}{\{(\sqrt{x})^{2}-2^{2}\}(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Now , here we <em>need</em> to <em>eliminate (√x-2)</em> from the denominator somehow , or the limit will again be <em>indeterminate </em>,so if you think <em>carefully</em> as <em>I thought</em> after <em>seeing the question</em> i.e what if we <em>add 4 and subtract 4</em> in <em>numerator</em> ? So let's try !

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{x-3\sqrt{x}-2+4-4}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(x-4)+2+4-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Now , using the same above identity ;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+6-3\sqrt{x}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)+3(2-\sqrt{x})}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Now , take minus sign common in <em>numerator</em> from 2nd term , so that we can <em>take (√x-2) common</em> from both terms

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)-3(\sqrt{x}-2)}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Now , take<em> (√x-2) common</em> in numerator ;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-2)\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{(\sqrt{x}-2)(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Cancelling the <em>radical</em> that makes our <em>limit again and again</em> <em>indeterminate</em> ;

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}\{(\sqrt{x}+2)-3\}}{\cancel{(\sqrt{x}-2)}(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}+2-3)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \displaystyle \sf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{(\sqrt{x}-1)}{(\sqrt{x}+2)(x+4)(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2})}}

Now , <em>putting the limit ;</em>

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{\sqrt{4}-1}{(\sqrt{4}+2)(4+4)(\sqrt{4}+\sqrt{3\sqrt{4}-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{2-1}{(2+2)(4+4)(2+\sqrt{3\times 2-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{6-2})}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+\sqrt{4})}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(2+2)}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{(4)(8)(4)}}

{:\implies \quad \sf \dfrac{1}{128}}

{:\implies \quad \bf \therefore \underline{\underline{\displaystyle \bf \lim_{x\to 4}\dfrac{\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{3\sqrt{x}-2}}{x^{2}-16}=\dfrac{1}{128}}}}
