Describe and correct the error a student made when responding to the following question. A website to post a blog about the most popular type of pet in the Seattle area. Would a sample consisting of every tenth ticket holding to the local dog show be representative? Explain.

Student answer: Yes, since the sample is systematic random sample, it would be representative of the population.

Answers

Answer 1

The student is correct in saying that "systematic random sample" is applied, since the rule is "select every 10th ticket". However, this does not represent the population because those who attend a dog show are very likely to be dog lovers. This leaves out cat lovers or any other type of pet. It may be possible that someone is a cat lover but they're at the dog show (due to their spouse pulling them along), but it's probably not that common. We say that people who pick dogs as their favorite would be over-represented, while any other pet would be under-represented if they were represented at all.

A better way to get a sample would be to go to a pet store and have every 10th purchase be selected for a survey. To entice customers to participate in the survey, it would be helpful to offer a discount, free product, or a chance to win a prize. Otherwise, the customer may ignore the survey and that could likely lead to bias.

3. Nutrition labels. The nutrition label on a bag of potato chips says that a one ounce (28 gram) serving of potato chips has 130 calories and contains ten grams of fat, with three grams of saturated fat. A random sample of 35 bags yielded a sample mean of 134 calories with a standard deviation of 17 calories. a. Calculate the 95% confidence interval of for this random sample. Then interpret this interval.

Answers

Answer:

The 95% confidence interval of for this random sample is between 128.16 calories and 139.84 calories. This means that we are 95% that the mean number of calories for all bags of potato chips is in this interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the standard deviation for the sample, which means that the t-distribution is used to solve this question.

The first step to solve this problem is finding how many degrees of freedom, we have. This is the sample size subtracted by 1. So

df = 35 - 1 = 34

95% confidence interval

Now, we have to find a value of T, which is found looking at the t table, with 34 degrees of freedom(y-axis) and a confidence level of [tex]1 - \frac{1 - 0.95}{2} = 0.975[/tex]. So we have T = 2.0322

The margin of error is:

[tex]M = T\frac{s}{\sqrt{n}} = 2.0322\frac{17}{\sqrt{35}} = 5.84[/tex]

In which s is the standard deviation of the sample and n is the size of the sample.

The lower end of the interval is the sample mean subtracted by M. So it is 134 - 5.84 = 128.16 calories

The upper end of the interval is the sample mean added to M. So it is 134 + 5.84 = 139.84 calories

The 95% confidence interval of for this random sample is between 128.16 calories and 139.84 calories. This means that we are 95% that the mean number of calories for all bags of potato chips is in this interval.

Ok.

1. g(7) = 9

So, f(9) = 0

2. f(3) = 9

So, g(9) = 4

3. f(2) = 5

So, f(5) = 8

4. g(8) = 8

So, g(8) = 8

Done.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

composite functions, but just think of it as one function.. that does it's thing and then feeds into another function...

so g(x) starts it.. and gets a 7 and outputs a 9

then f(x) gets the 9 from g(x) and outputs a  )

so f(g(7)) = 0

next f(x) gets a 3 and outputs a 9

then g(x) gets that 9 and outputs a 4

so g(f(3)) = 4

next f(x) gets a 2 and outputs a 5

then then next f(x) gets that 5 and outputs an 8

f(f(2) )  = 8

next g(x) gets an 8 and outputs an 8

the next g(x0 get that 8 and outputs another 8

kinda boring at 8 ... same ol same ol  :P

g(g(8)) = 8

Find the surface area of the prism. centimeters 7 17 8 15

Answers

Answer:

400 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x2x15x8=120

17x7=119

7x8=56

15x7=105

120+119+56+105=400

The total surface area of a given prism is 400 cm².

What the surface area of a prism?

To find the surface area of any kind of prism we use the general formula. The total surface area of a prism is the sum of lateral surface area and area of two flat bases.

The total surface area of a Prism = (2 × Base Area) + (Base perimeter × Length).

Here, Base area = 1/2 ×Base×Height

= 0.5×8×15

= 60 cm²

Base perimeter = 15+8+17

= 40 cm

Now, total surface area = 2×60+(40×7)

= 120+280

= 400 cm²

Therefore, the total surface area of a given prism is 400 cm².

The surface area of the prism is 108 m².

What is Surface Area?

The area of a three dimensional object on it's outer surface is called the surface area of the object.

Given is the figure of a triangular prism.

Triangular prism consists of two triangular bases and three rectangular lateral faces.

Triangular base is right triangle.

Surface area of prism = area of bases + area of lateral faces

Area of a triangular base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × base × height

                                          = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × 4 × 3

                                          = 6 m²

Area of two triangular bases = 2 × 6 = 12 m²

Area of a rectangle = length × width

Area of rectangular faces = (8 × 5) + (8 × 4) + (8 × 3)

                                           = 40 + 32 + 24

                                           = 96 m²

Total surface area = 12 m² + 96 m² = 108 m²

Hence the total surface area of the prism is 108 m².

Agnete consumes 1.68 grams of caffeine in a week.

What is a unit rate?

It is the quantity of an amount of something at a rate of one of another quantity.

In 2 hours, a man can walk for 6 miles

In 1 hour, a man will walk for 3 miles.

We have,

We know that Agnete drinks 3 cups of drip coffee every day, and each cup contains 8 oz of coffee, which is equivalent to 80 mg of caffeine.

To find out how many grams of caffeine Agnete consumes in a week, we can start by calculating the total amount of caffeine she consumes in a day:

Total caffeine in a day.

= 3 cups x 80 mg/cup

= 240 mg

Then, we can multiply this value by 7 to find the total amount of caffeine she consumes in a week:

Total caffeine in a week = 240 mg/day x 7 days/week = 1680 mg

To convert milligrams (mg) to grams (g), we divide by 1000:

Total caffeine in a week = 1680 mg / 1000 = 1.68 g

Therefore,

Agnete consumes 1.68 grams of caffeine in a week.

Step-by-step explanation:

• 5X + 2Y = 48

• 2Y = 48 - 5X

let's use this and replace it on the second equation

• 3X + 2Y = 32

• 3X + 48 - 5X = 32

• 3X - 5X = 32 - 48

• -2X = -16

X = 8

now use the X value we found to find the Y

• 5X + 2Y = 48
