Answer:

1,400

Step-by-step explanation:

We take the sample proportion of skunks and estimate for the entire population.

Sample:

140 skunks out of 230 + 140 + 120 = 490 animals.

140/490 = 0.28571428571

If a random sample of 5,000 animals are trapped in the city, how many skunks would be estimated to be included?

0.28571428571 out of 5000. So

0.28571428571*5000 = 1429

Close to 1400, which means that the answer is given by option C.

1.08t can be written as (1.081/12)12t to give the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate based on an annual rate of 8%. Us

Because t is given in years and 1.08 = 1 + 0.08, the annual percent increase
is 8%.
To find the monthly percent increase that gives an 8% annual increase,
use the fact that
t = $\frac{1}{12} * 12 t$ 
and the properties of exponents to rewrite the
model in a form that reveals the monthly growth rate.

$1.08^{t} 
= 1.08^{(1/12)(12t)} 
= (1.08^{1/12}) ^{12t} 
= 1.0064634^{12t}$
