Jada and lin are comparing inches and feet.

Let I denote inches and F denote feet.

It is given that

I =k F or F=m I

So, I/F=k or m=F/I

As we know 1 feet = 12 inches

constant of proportionality i.e k=1/12

In case 2, constant of proportionality=12/1=12

So, Jada must have calculated ratio of feet to inches while Lin has calculated the ratio of inches to feet.

Answer:

see explaination

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the null hypothesis is that the PCB survives against the alternate that the PCB 'does not survive'. The test says that the PCB will survice if it is classified as 'good'; or, it will not survive if it is classifies as 'bad'.

a. The Type II error is the error committed when a PCB which cannot actually survive is classified as 'good'.

b. Therefore P(Type II error) = P(The PCB is classified as 'good' | PCB does not survives) = 0.03.

The New Mexico Division of Fish and Wildlife keeps track of the silvery minnow population in the Rio Grande River. They tagged 5

sattari [20]

Answer:

279 silvery minnow

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of Silvery Minnows initially tagged = 54

Number of minnows captured = 62

Number of tagged minnows in captured ones = 12

Remember that in the very beginning there were no tagged minnows. 54 minnows were captured, tagged and released. This means, there are total 54 tagged minnows in the entire population. Lets say there are x number of minnows in total.

So, in x minnows, 54 are tagged ones.

When 62 minnows are captured, only 12 are tagged ones and remaining are un-tagged. Since, the minnows were randomly captured, we can develop a proportion from this case to estimate the total population of minnows in the Rio Grande River.

Ratio of tagged minnows to total population must be equal to the ratio of captured tagged minnows in total captured minnows.

i.e.

$54 : x = 12 : 62\\\\ \frac{54}{x} = \frac{12}{62}\\\\ 62(54)=12x\\ \\ x = 279$

This means, there were 279 silvery minnows in the Rio Grande River.

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

$f(x)=\frac{e^{2x}}{e^{2x}+3e^x+2}$

substitute $u=e^x\\du=e^x dx\\\\\int\frac{e^{2x}}{e^{2x}+3e^x+2}dx=\int\frac{e^x\dot e^x}{e^x^{2x}+3e^x+2}dx\\\\=\int\frac{udu}{u^2+3u+2}$

Apply partial fraction in (a), we get;

$\frac{u}{u^2+3u+2}=\frac{2}{u+2}-\frac{1}{u+1}\\\\\therefore u^2+3u+2\\=u^2+2u+u+2\\=u(u+2)+1(u+1)\\=(u+2)(u+1)\\\\Now\,\int\frac{u}{u^2+3u+2}\,du=\int\frac{2}{u+2}du-\int\frac{1}{u+1}du\\\\=2ln|u+2|-ln|u+1|+c\\=2ln|e^x+2|-lm|e^x+1|+c$
