Martha recorded the eye colors of the people who have already signed up for a lecture on genetics. gray 1
brown 10
hazel 1
green 1
blue 7
Considering this data, how many of the next 16 people to sign up should you expect to be brown-eyed?

Explanation:

According to the table, 10 people have brown eyes. This is out of 1+10+1+1+7 = 20 people total. So 10/20 = 0.50 = 50% of the group has brown eyes.

If this trend holds up, then we expect 50% of the next group of 16 people also have brown eyes.

50% of 16 = 0.50*16 = 8

We expect 8 people to have brown eyes in this next group. This is of course assuming that the first group is unbiased and represents the population (or is close enough).

answer: slight chance that it will happen

step-by-step explanation:

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6
