Answer: 9 tilapia

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of 6:20 for tilapia to catfish means that for every six tilapia, there are 20 catfish in the pond.

If there are 30 catfish, use direct proportion to find out the number of tilapia:

6     :      20

x     :       30

Cross multiply:

20x = 180

x = 180 / 20

x = 9 tilapia

A New York Times/CBS poll surveyed 1,027 adults nationwide about race relations in the United States. Of the sample, 61% respond
Naddik [55]

The interpretation is that we are 95% confident that the true population proportion p is somewhere between 0.58 and 0.64

The population proportion p in this case refers to the proportion of people who feel that race relations in this country are generally bad.

Something like 0.58 converts to 58% when you move the decimal point 2 spots to the right.
