Answer: The required proportion is \dfrac{172}{523} in fraction and 0.329 in decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of suspected criminals is drawn = 523

Number of criminals were captured = 172

We need to find the proportion of people who were caught after being on the 10 Most wanted list.

So, Proportion of people who were caught is given by

\dfrac{172}{523}\\\\=0.3288\\\\\approx 0.329

Hence, the required proportion is \dfrac{172}{523} in fraction and 0.329 in decimals.

The population size after 6 years and after 8 years are 147 and 169 population respectively

<h3>Exponential functions</h3>

The standard exponential function is expressed as y = ab^x

where

a is the base

x is the exponent

Given the function that represents the population size P (t) of the species as shown;

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1t}} \\

For the population size after 6 years

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1(6)}} \\P(6)=\frac{550}{3.744}\\ P(6)=147 population

For the population after 8 years

p(t)=\frac{550}{1+5e^{-0.1(8)}} \\P(8)=\frac{550}{3.2466}\\ P(8)=169 population

Hence the population size after 6 years and after 8 years are 147 and 169 population respectively
