The population here refers to the all the wild elephants that are present in that particular geography. This refers to the whole universe of wild elephants present in the area,

The sample is the 400 elephants that the biologist tranquilized to mesaure the length of their tusks.

So, to conclude, population = all wild elephants present and sample = 400 elephants that were tranquilized

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following probabilities

A 50% probability that a person is a male

A 50% probability that a person is a female.

A 12.6% probability that a male is left-handed.

A 9.9% probability that a female is left-handed.

If a person is selected at random, to find the probability that the selected person is a right-handed female, one would compute:

50% are female.

9.9% of the females are left-handed, so 100-9.9 = 90.1% of the females are right handed.

So

P = 0.5*0.901 = 0.4505

There is a 45.05% probability that the selected person is a right-handed female.

Greg is trying to solve a puzzle where he has to figure out two numbers, x and y. Three less than two-third of x is greater than
Fittoniya [83]
Inequation 1: 

\frac{2}{3}x-3 \geq y

to plot the pairs (x, y) for which the inequation holds, draw the line y=\frac{2}{3}x-3

then pick a point in either side of the line. If that point is a solution of the inequation, than color that region of the line, if that point is not a solution, then color the other part of the line.

we do the same for the second inequation. Then the solution, is the region of the x-y axes colored in both cases.

inequation 2: 

y+ \frac{2}{3}x\ \textless \ 4

y\ \textless \ - \frac{2}{3} x+ 4



draw the lines 

i)  y=\frac{2}{3}x-3          use points (0, -3),  (3, -1)

ii)y=- \frac{2}{3} x+ 4       use points ( 0, 4),   (3, 2)


let's use the point P(3, 3) to see what region of the lines need to be coloured:

\frac{2}{3}x-3 \geq y  ; 
\frac{2}{3}(3)-3 \geq 3
2-3 \geq 3, not true so we color the region not containing this point


y+ \frac{2}{3}x\ \textless \ 4
(3)+ \frac{2}{3}(3)\ \textless \ 4
3+ 5\ \textless \ 4 not true, so we color the region not containing the point (3, 3)

The graph representing the system of inequalities is the region colored both red and blue, with the blue line not dashed, and the red line dashed.
