The best prediction of the total number of tagged salmon in a sample of 2000 is 100.

<h3><u>Predictions</u></h3>

To determine what is the best prediction of the total number of tagged salmon in a sample of 2000, the following calculation must be performed:

  • 800 = 40
  • 2000 = X
  • 2000 x 40 / 800 = X
  • 80000 / 800 = X
  • 100 = X

Therefore, the best prediction of the total number of tagged salmon in a sample of 2000 is 100.

Given that:

Current amount = 34

Final amount = 70

Number of roses planted by the workers today ;

Current amount + number planted today = final amount

Let number planted today = x

What is the value of x in the figure? <br><br><br> x= ?
Otrada [13]
X = 68

Since the angle opposite of it is a right angle, we know that 22 + x has to equal 90 also. 

So just take 90 - 22 = 68 degrees
