Question

A biologist records the number and types of fish caught in a local lake during a 2-yearperiod. The biologist reports that 796 of the fish caught during this period were trout,whereas 43% of the fish caught were bass. These reports of the number of trout andbass at this lake are examples ofcumulative frequencies.percentile ranks.relative frequencies.smooth curves.

Answer 1

Record for the number and types of fish caught in a local lake during a 2-year

period

Fish caught during this period were trout = 796

Fish caught during this period were bass = 43%

Total percentile = 100%

Fish caught during this period were trout = 100 - percentage of fish caught during this period were bass

fish caught during this period were trout = 100 - 43 = 57%

Hence the reports of the number of trout and

bass at this lake are examples of percentile ranks
