The population function of the Western Lowland Gorillas can either represent population growth or population decay

<h3>How to model the population</h3>

The question is incomplete, as the resources to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas are not given.

So, I will give a general explanation to solve the question

A population function can be represented as:

$y = a(1 \pm r)^x$

Where:

The initial population of the Western Lowland Gorillas is represented by (a)
The rate at which the population changes is represented by (r)
The number of years since 2022 is represented by (x)
The population in x years is represented by (y)

From the question, we understand that the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas decreases.

This means that the rate of the function would be an exponential decay i.e. 1 -r

Take for instance:

$y = 2000 * 0.98^x$

By comparison.

a = 2000 and 1 - r = 0.98

The above function can be used to model the population of the Western Lowland Gorillas

A hotel has 30 floors with 40 rooms per floor. The rooms on one side of the hotel face the water, while rooms on the other side

Ket [755]

A) Choosing a stratified random sample might be preferable to an SRS because;

Stratified random sampling would divide the population into stratas but the

SRS would not do so. The strata would be the type of room namely those

with water view and those with golf view.

B) The reason why a cluster sample would be a simpler option is because;

It will divide the population into multiple clusters that makes it easier to

work with unlike the SRS that generalizes. The clusters would be each of

the 30 floors.

We are told that the manager wanted to select 120 rooms and carry out a survey on each registered guest by asking how satisfied they were with the hotel. He decided to use a sampling method called SRS which means Simple Random Sampling.

Simple random sampling is defined as a sampling method where individuals or objects are selected randomly from a population thereby given each person or object an equal chance of selection.

A) Stratified Random sampling is a method of sampling that divides the population into smaller groups known as objects/stata. In this case Stratified random sampling would be preferred to SRS because the hotel rooms are divided into two types namely those that can view the water and those that can view the golf course and as such the Stratified random sampling would divide the population but the SRS would not do so.

B) Cluster sampling is when the population is divided into multiple groups known for assessment. The reason why it would be a simpler option is because there are 30 floors and they can be classified as clusters and surveyed per floor.

Distance between parallel lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20

Alecsey [184]

1. Take an arbitrary point that lies on the first line y=3x+10. Let x=0, then y=10 and point has coordinates (0,10).

2. Use formula $d=\dfrac{|Ax_0+By_0+C|}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}$ to find the distance from point $(x_0,y_0)$ to the line Ax+By+C=0.

The second line has equation y=3x-20, that is 3x-y-20=0. By the previous formula the distance from the point (0,10) to the line 3x-y-20=0 is:

$d=\dfrac{|3\cdot 0-10-20|}{\sqrt{3^2+(-1)^2}}=\dfrac{30}{\sqrt{10}}=3\sqrt{10}$ .

3. Since lines y=3x+10 and y=3x-20 are parallel, then the distance between these lines are the same as the distance from an arbitrary point from the first line to the second line.

Answer: $d=3\sqrt{10}$ .

in 1930 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline was $0.25. in 2007 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline is $2.60 what is

AlekseyPX

Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.
