The aquarium at Sea Critters Depot contains 140 fish. Eighty of these fish are green swordtails (44 female and 36 male) and 60 a

maxonik [38]

Given that:

Total number of fish = 140

Fish are green swordtails female = 44

Fish are green swordtails male = 36

Fish are orange swordtails female = 36

Fish are orange swordtails male = 24

Solution:

A. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail.

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{80}{140}$

$\text{P(green swordtail)}=\dfrac{4}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a green swordtail is $\dfrac{4}{7}.$

B. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is male.

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{60}{140}$

$\text{P(Male fish)}=\dfrac{3}{7}$

Therefore, the probability that the selected fish is a male, is $\dfrac{3}{7}.$

C. We have to find the probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{36}{140}$

$\text{P(Male green swordtail)}=\dfrac{9}{35}$

Therefore, probability that the selected fish is a male green swordtail is $\dfrac{9}{35}.$

D.

We have to find the probability that the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail.

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{\text{Total male or green swordtail fish}}{\text{Total fish}}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{44+36+24}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{96}{140}$

$\text{P(Male or green swordtail)}=\dfrac{24}{35}$

Therefore, the probability the selected fish is either a male or a green swordtail is $\dfrac{24}{35}.$

HJ is twice JK. J is between H and K. If HJ= 4x and HK=78, find Jk.

ss7ja [257]

You'll find it easier to understand if you illustrate the problem as what is shown in the attached picture. From the illustration and the problem description, two equations can be formulated:

HJ = 2JK
HJ + JK = HK

2JK + JK = 78
3JK = 78
JK = 78/3
JK = 26
