Tara is researching the stork population living in a bird reserve. on her first day, she captures and tags 41 birds. two weeks later, she captures 57 birds and finds 48 are not tagged. estimate the actual number of storks in the bird reserve

There were approx 260 storks in the bird reserve.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a information as:

Tara is researching the stork population living in a bird reserve.

Let there were total 'x' birds.

Then the probability of the tagged birds is:

 number of birds  tagged=57-48=9.

Now the probability of tagged birds is:

As the probability of the tagged birds must be same:

⇒    

⇒  

⇒  

Hence, there were approx 260 storks  in the bird reserve.

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
