You have designed a small experiment and have put out 500 peanuts in their shells into a defined area. You use green food coloring to dye half of the peanuts so they blend into the grass. You don't do anything to the other half of the peanuts. You count the number of peanuts that are LEFT on the ground after a week. You count 27 plain peanuts remaining on the grass and 102 green peanuts remaining on the grass. If the squirrels picked up the peanuts randomly (without respect to color): How many of green peanuts would you EXPECT the squirrels to have collected?arrow_forwardThe graph below represents the growth of a population of flies in a jar.
