calculate the rate of change in your neighborhood population of squirrels based on the data from a june 2015

Answers

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. Here is the complete question.

Scenario: You are bored during quarantine. However, you have been observing a bird feeder in your backyard and wow... do there seem to be a lot of squirrels in your neighbourhood. You begin to wonder how many squirrels are actually in your neighbourhood and devise an experiment to track their population.

Part 1. Using the data below, estimate the population of squirrels in your neighbourhood as if you employed the Mark-and-Recapture method. Please be sure to include any units in your final answer.

#captured on 06/01/20                          10

#captured on 06/30/20                          6

#recaptured on 06/30 from 06/01         3

Part 2. Calculate the rate of change in your neighbourhood population of squirrels based on the data from a June 2015 report that indicated a population of 40 squirrels.

Part 3. Calculate the intrinsic growth rate (r) for this population of squirrels based on the data you have acquired so far.

Part 4. Interpretations: In 1-2 sentences, summarize what's happening here (e.g. is the population growing or shrinking or staying the same?) and propose one plausible explanation for this change.

Answer: Part 1: Population of 20 squirrels

              Part 2: Rate of change 50%

              Part 3: r = -0.1386 anos

             

Step-by-step explanation: The Mark-and-Recapture method is a method to estimate a population when counting each individual is impractical. The method consists in capture a small population of individuals, mark them and released them back to the population. After a while, you catch another group and record the ones with the mark.

The calculations are made following this formula:

[tex]N=\frac{M*C}{R}[/tex]

N is the estimated population

M is marked individuals

C is total number of captured individuals (with and without the mark) the second time

R is recaptured individuals with the mark.

Part 1: Population of squirrels will be:

[tex]N=\frac{10*6}{3}[/tex]

N = 20

Population of squirrels in 2020 is 20 squirrels.

Part 2: Rate of change is calculated by the change in the population divided by the original population:

rate = [tex]\frac{20-40}{40}[/tex]

rate = - 0.5 or 50%

Part 3: The model for a population growth is exponential:

[tex]N=N_{0}e^{rt}[/tex]

N is population at that moment

N₀ is initial population

r is growth rate

t is period of time

Growth rate will be:

[tex]N=N_{0}e^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]20=40e^{5r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{5r}=0.5[/tex]

[tex]5r=ln(0.5)[/tex]

[tex]r=\frac{ln0.5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]r=-0.1386[/tex]

Growth rate (r) for the population of squirrels after 5 years is [tex]r=-0.1386[/tex] years.

Part 4: The growth rate has a negative sign, which means population is decreasing along the 5 years, so population is shrinking.

One possible explanation is the environment the population are in is lacking the squirrels primary need, i.e., squirrels' food source is diminishing, causing the population to decrease.

a. Find the probability that a randomly selected high school senior will have a score between 70 and 75.
b. Find the probability that a randomly selected high school senior will have a score higher than 85.

Answers

Answer:

0.19146

0.066807

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Mean (m) = 70

Standard deviation (s) = 10

a. Find the probability that a randomly selected high school senior will have a score between 70 and 75.

X ≤ 70 :

Using : z = (x - m) / s

Z = (70 - 70) / 10

Z = 0 / 10

Z = 0

P( Z < 70) = 0.500

X ≤ 75

z = (x - m) / s

Z = (75 - 70) / 10

Z = 5 / 10

Z = 0. 5

P(z < 0.5) = 0.69146

0.69146 - 0.5000

= 0.19146

b. Find the probability that a randomly selected high school senior will have a score higher than 85.

X ≥ 85

z = (x - m) / s

Z = (85 - 70) / 10

Z = 15 / 10

Z = 1.5

P(z > 1.5) = 0.066807 ( Z probability calculator)

The probability that a college graduate will find a full time job within three months after graduation from college is .27. Three college students, who will be graduating soon, are randomly selected. What is the probability that all three of them will find full-time jobs within three months after graduation from college

Answers

Answer:

The probability that all three of them will find full-time jobs within three months after graduation from college is 0.0197.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X denote the number of college graduates who will find a full time job within three months after graduation from college.

A random sample of 3 college students, who will be graduating soon, are selected.

The probability of X is, p = 0.27.

Each student is independent of the other to find a full time job within three months after graduation from college.

The random variable X follows a binomial distribution with parameter n = 3 and p = 0.27.

Compute the probability that all three of them will find full-time jobs within three months after graduation from college as follows:

[tex]P(X=3)={3\choose 3}(0.27)^{3}(-0.27)^{3-3}[/tex]

                [tex]=1\times 0.019683\times 1\\=0.0197[/tex]

Thus, the probability that all three of them will find full-time jobs within three months after graduation from college is 0.0197.

Consider the finite strings of length 100 drawn from the alphabet of 4 letters {a,b,c,d}. How many of those strings use no more than two different letters?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2^{100} * 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

length of finite strings = 100

number of letters : 4 { a,b,c,d }

Determine the number of strings that use ≤ two different letters

since the number of letters is 4 and we are allowed to make use of at most 2 different letters

Then the number of ways will be : [tex]^{4} C_{2}[/tex] = 6 ways

now considering the length of the Finite strings

The number of strings that use no more than two different letters

= [tex]2^{100} * 6 ways[/tex]

Jimmy wants to serve iced tea at his birthday party. He purchases 14 containers filled with 1.5 liters of tea. Approximately how many gallons of tea did he purchase? (1 gallon is about 3.8 liters)

Answers

Answer:

5.5 gallons

The answer is 5.5 gallons.

Given that;

Number of containers = 14

Amount in each container = 1.5 liter

1 gallon = 3.8 liter

Find:

Total amount of tea in gallon

Computation:

Total amount of tea in gallon = Number of containers × Amount in each container / 3.8

Total amount of tea in gallon = 14 × 1.5 / 3.8

Total amount of tea in gallon = 21 / 3.8

Total amount of tea in gallon = 5.5 liter (Approx.)

Answer:

b

 [tex]P(Z) = 0[/tex]

c

[tex]P(W) = 0.1016[/tex]

d

 [tex]P(R) = 0.29[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The number of married people is  k = 15  

   The number of people that are not married is  u =  15

   The number of people selected is  e = 12

   The total number of people is n  =  30

Generally the number of ways of  selecting 12  people from the married people is mathematically represented as

        [tex]B = ^k C_e[/tex]

Here C stands for combination hence we will be making use of the combination functionality in our calculators

       [tex]B = ^{15} C_{12}[/tex]

=>   [tex]B = 455[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of  selecting 0  people from the not  married people is mathematically represented as

    [tex]A = ^u C_0[/tex]

=> [tex]A = ^{15} C_0[/tex]

=> [tex]A = 1[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of  selecting 12  people from the total number of  people is mathematically represented as

     [tex]D = ^{n} C_{12}[/tex]

=> [tex]D = ^{30} C_{12}[/tex]

=> [tex]D = 8.6493225 *10^{7}[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of selecting 12 people from the married people is equal to the number of ways of selecting 12 people from not married, also  the number of ways of selecting 0  people from the not married is equal to the number of ways of selecting 0 people from the married people,   all this is because the number of married people  is equal to the number of not married people

Generally the number of ways of selecting 8 people from the married people is  

      [tex]E = ^{k} C_{8}[/tex]

=>   [tex]E = ^{15} C_{8}[/tex]

=>   [tex]E =6435[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of selecting 4 people from the not  married people is  

       [tex]F = ^{u} C_{4}[/tex]

=>   [tex]F= ^{15} C_{4}[/tex]

=>   [tex]F=1365[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of selecting 6 people from the   married people is  

       [tex]G = ^{k} C_{6[/tex]

=>   [tex]G= ^{15} C_{6}[/tex]

=>   [tex]G=5005[/tex]

Generally the number of ways of electing 6 people from the married people is equal to the number of ways of selecting 6  people from the not married people

Generally the probability that the jury consists of all married people is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P(K) = \frac{455 * 1 }{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(K) = \frac{455 * 1 }{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(K) = 0.000005[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(K) = 0[/tex]

Generally the probability that the jury consists of all not married people  is mathematically represented as

        [tex]P(Z) = \frac{455 * 1 }{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(Z) = \frac{455 * 1 }{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=>     [tex]P(Z) = 0.000005[/tex]

=>    [tex]P(Z) = 0[/tex]

Generally the probability that the jury consists of 8 married and 4 that are not married is mathematically represented as

     [tex]P(W) = \frac{ E * F}{D}[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(W) = \frac{ 6435 * 1365}{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=>  [tex]P(W) = 0.1016[/tex]

Generally the probability that the jury consists of 6 married and 6 that are not married. is mathematically represented as

 [tex]P(R) = \frac{G * G}{D}[/tex]

  [tex]P(R) = \frac{5005 * 5005}{8.6493225 *10^{7}}[/tex]

=> [tex]P(R) = 0.29[/tex]

c Number of bars sold before 2000
d Rate of increase in the sale of chocolates

Answers

The y-intercept represents the number of bars sold in the year 2000. In this case y=15 because:

y=15(1.1)^0

y=15(1)

y=15
