Response:
2/9 = 0.22
Clarification:
There are two ways to select the first number that is odd and less than 5: 1 and 3.
For each of these, the second number drawn can be any of the values from 1 to 9, giving us a total of 18 options.
Out of these, the only pairs that result in a sum less than 5 are (1,1), (1,2), (1,3), and (3,1). Thus we have 4 combinations from the total of 18:
4/18 = 2/9 = 0.22
Response:
The equation of the linear function can be represented as:
H(S) = 960 - 3.2*S
In this scenario, we have a function of the following form: A: initial amount, b: rate of decrease, x: time in years. Plugging in the values results in an exponential decay function suitable for this situation: y = 1300 * (0.97) ^ x. The estimated fish population in 2010 is then calculated to be approximately 1083.
