the number of rainbow smelt in Lake Michigan had an average rate of change of −19.76 per year between 1990 and 2000. The bloater

fish population had an average rate of change of −92.57 per year during the same time. If the initial population of rainbow smelt was 227 and the initial population of bloater fish was 1,052, after how many years were the two populations equal?

Initial population of rainbow smelt: 227.
Initial population of bloater fish: 1,052.
t - number of the years;
The equation is:
227 - 19.76 t = 1,052 - 92.57 t
92.57 t - 19.76 t = 1,052 - 227
72.81 t = 825
t = 825 : 72.81
t = 11.33 years = 11 1/3 years = 11 years 4 months
Answer: After 11 years and 4 months.

Answer: For Edgenunity

The linear function that models the population of bloater fish is y2 =

-92.57 x + 1,052

The linear equation that determines when the two populations were equal is

-19.76 x + 227= -92.57x + 1052

The solution is x = 11.33 years

In the United States, 75 percent of adults wear glasses or contact lenses. A random sample of 10 adults in the United States wil
V125BC [204]

Answer:

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information:

We treat adult adults wear glasses or contact lenses as a success.

P(Adults wear glasses or contact lenses) = 75% = 0.75

Then the number of adults follows a binomial distribution, where

P(X=x) = \binom{n}{x}.p^x.(1-p)^{n-x}

where n is the total number of observations, x is the number of success, p is the probability of success.

Now, we are given n = 10

We have to evaluate:

P(fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses)

P(x < 8)\\=1 - P(x = 8) - P(x = 9) - P(x = 10)\\=1 - \binom{10}{8}(0.75)^8(1-0.75)^2 - \binom{10}{9}(0.75)^9(1-0.75)^1- \binom{10}{10}(0.75)^10(1-0.75)^0\\=1 - 0.2815-0.1877-0.0563\\= 0.4745

0.4745 is the probability that fewer than 8 of the selected adults wear glasses or contact lenses.

What is the measure of Angle J K L? Triangle J K L . The exterior angle to angle K has a measure of 83 degrees. 83 degrees 97 de
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

The measure of angle JKL is 97 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A triangle JKL .

Measure of exterior angle K = 83 degrees

We have to find the measure of \angle JKL .

In (\triangle\ JKL) we see that the exterior angle is in linear pair with \angle JKL .

Note:

Linear pair angles sum is 180 degree.

Let \angle JKL be 'x' degrees .

So,

⇒ x+83=180

⇒ <em>Subtracting 83 from both sides.</em>

⇒ x+83-83=180-83

⇒ x=180-83

⇒ x=97 degrees

The measure of angle JKL in the triangle is of 97 degrees.
