Before 1918, approximately 40% of the wolves in a region were male, and 60% were female. However, cattle ranchers in this area h

ave made a determined effort to exterminate wolves. From 1918 to the present, approximately 60% of wolves in the region are male, and 40% are female. Biologists suspect that male wolves are more likely than females to return to an area where the population has been greatly reduced. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) (a) Before 1918, in a random sample of 10 wolves spotted in the region, what is the probability that 7 or more were male

Answer:

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0548

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a binomial probability distribution problem.

We are told that Before 1918;

P(male) = 40% = 0.4

P(female) = 60% = 0.6

n = 10

Thus;probability that 7 or more were male is;

P(≥ 7 males) = P(7) + P(8) + P(9) + P(10)

Now, binomial probability formula is;

P(x) = [n!/((n - x)! × x!)] × p^(x) × q^(n - x)

Now, p = 0.4 and q = 0.6.

Also, n = 10

Thus;

P(7) = [10!/((10 - 7)! × 7!)] × 0.4^(7) × 0.6^(10 - 7)

P(7) = 0.0425

P(8) = [10!/((10 - 8)! × 8!)] × 0.4^(8) × 0.6^(10 - 8)

P(8) = 0.0106

P(9) = [10!/((10 - 9)! × 9!)] × 0.4^(9) × 0.6^(10 - 9)

P(9) = 0.0016

P(10) = [10!/((10 - 10)! × 10!)] × 0.4^(10) × 0.6^(10 - 10)

P(10) = 0.0001

Thus;

P(≥ 7 males) = 0.0425 + 0.0106 + 0.0016 + 0.0001 = 0.0548

Which function describes the arithmetic sequence shown?
Lynna [10]

f(x)= -2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

Let the sequence given here is -5, -7, -9, -11, -13 ......

Here the first term (a₁) of sequence is -5

And the common difference between the numbers in the sequence is

d= (-7-(-5)) = -7+5 = -2

Let the number of terms be x

Step 2;

To find the sequence function basic arithmetic sequence formula is

aₙ = a₁ + d( x-1)

Applying the values we get

f(X) = -5 + ((-2)(X-1))

on simplification

f(X) = -5 + (-2X+2)

f(X)= -5+2-2X

f(X)= -3-2X

Nathan earns $1500 a week. Calculate his new weekly wage if he receives a pay rise of 20%
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1800

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approanch

An easy way to calculate one's salary after they recive a raise is to, convert the percent that one's salary is increased into a decimal; divide the percent by 100. Then multiply the increase as a decimal by the original salary, to attain the amount the salary is raised by. Finally add the amount the salary is raised by to the original salary to find the new salary. A quicker way to do this is to convert the percent by the salary is increased into a decimal. Then add 1 to that number. Finally one will multiply that number by the original slary and get the new salary.

2. Solving

Original salary; 1500

Raise; 20%

<u>a. convert the raise as a percent into a decimal, then add 1</u>

20% = 0.2

0.2 + 1 = 1.2

<u>b. multiply the number by the original salary</u>

1.2 * 1500

1800

in the ambrose family the ages of the three children are three consecutive even integers . if the age of the youngest child is r
klemol [59]

The ages are consecutive even numbers.
The youngest child is  (x+3) years old.
Every even number is 2 more than the one before it.
So the three ages are

           (x + 3),  (x + 5),  and  (x + 7).

Their sum is    x+3  +  x+5  +  x+7  =  3x + 15

But we're told that their sum is  42, so we can write

                                              3x + 15 = 42  <== the equation

Subtract 15 from each side:  3x         =  27

Divide each side by  3 :          x         =   9    <== the solution

So the three ages are  12,  14,  and  16.

The oldest child is  16  years old.
