To determine the number of trout in a​ lake, a conservationist catches 180 ​trout, tags them and throws them back into the lake.

​ later, 48 trout are​ caught; 12 of them are tagged. how many trout would the conservationist expect to be in the​ lake?

The ratio of the trout with tags that are caught and the total trout with tags is first calculated.

     r = 12 trout / 180 trout = 1/15

Then, we divide the number of trouts caught without tag by the value obtained above.

     N = (48 - 12) / (1/15) = 540

Then, we add the number obtained above and 180.
     T = 540 + 180 = 720

ANSWER: 720

Set X consists of 100 numbers. The average (arithmetic mean) of set X is 10, and the standard deviation is 4.6. Which of the fol
kompoz [17]

Answer:

E. 10 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Deviation is the square root of sum of square of the distance of observation from the mean.

Standard deviation(\sigma) = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n}\sum_{i=1}^{n}{(x_{i}-\bar{x})^{2}} }

where, \bar{x} is mean of the distribution.

Here, since standard deviation is the ratio of the distance from the mean and sample size. So for decreasing the standard deviation we should keep numerator constant and increasing the denominator.

This can be only possible in option (E).

Hence, only Option (E) is correct.
