Let the total number of fish in the aquarium be x .

And out of them, 2/5 are surgeonfish , that is

\frac{2x}{5}

And out of 2/5 surgeonfish , 3/4 are yellowtangs, that is

\frac{3}{4}* \frac{2x}{5} = \frac{6x}{20} = \frac{3x}{10}

Required fraction is

\frac{3x/10}{x} = \frac{3}{10}

1. (Sec. 6.1) In a random sample of 80 components of a certain type, 12 are found to be defective. (a) Give a point estimate for
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

(a) 0.85

(b) 0.7225

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The point estimate for the proportion of all such components that are not defective is given by the number of non-defective units in the sample divided by the sample size:

p=\frac{80-12}{80}\\p=0.85

The proportion is 0.85.

(b) Assuming that the sample is large enough to accurately provide a point estimate for the whole population, this can be treated as a binomial model with probability of success (non-defective part) p = 0.85. Since both components must be non-defective for the system to work, the probability of two successes in two trials is:

P(x=2) = 0.85^2\\P(x=2) = 0.7225

An estimate of 0.7225 for the proportion of all such systems that will function properly.

Which expressions are equivalent to 2(b+3c)?
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

B. (b+3c)+(b+3c)

C. 2(b)+2(3c)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2(b+3c)

Distribute the number 2

2(b+3c)=2b+2(3c)=2b+6c

Verify each case

case A) 3(b+2c)

distribute the number 3

3(b+2c)=3b+3(2c)=3b+6c

3b+6c \neq 2b+6c

therefore

Choice A is not equivalent to the given expression

case B) (b+3c)+(b+3c)

Combine like terms

b+3c)+(b+3c)=(b+b)=(3c+3c)=2b+6c

2b+6c= 2b+6c

therefore

Choice B is equivalent to the given expression

case C) 2(b)+2(3c)

Multiply both terns by 2

2(b)+2(3c)=2b+6c

2b+6c= 2b+6c

therefore

Choice C is equivalent to the given expression
