(NOT A MULTIPLE CHOICE)

Suppose a civic engineer wants to conduct a survey to find out if residents of a city would be in favor of widening one of the city's roadways for increased traffic flow

a. Would a sample consisting of residents who utilize that roadway to travel to work each morning be representative? Explain.

b. Would a sample consisting of residents who live along that roadway be representative? Explain.

c. Would a random sample of homeowners in the city be representative? Explain.

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a, b, c --- all not representative

Step-by-step explanation:

The question posed by the engineer is "are residents of the city in favor of ...".

The only representative sample is one from a pool that includes all residents of the city—not just those who (a) use the road, (b) live along the road, or (c)  own homes.

__

Additional comment

The engineer may want to refine the question. As posed, it would include children, homeless, and/or institutionalized residents of the city as well as drivers and tax-payers. In inclusive cultural traditions, "residents of the city" may also include animals, plants, water, air, and other holders of spiritual energy.

*ANSWER IS 2 just took the test*

Answers

Answer:

A. 2

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is indicated;

AD = DB = 3t,

AC = 7t + 6

CE = EB = 4t

Perimeter = 48 units

Perimeter = AD + DB + AC + CE + EB

Plug in the values

48 = 3t + 3t + 7t + 6 + 4t + 4t

Add like terms

48 = 21x + 6

48 - 6 = 21x + 6 - 6

42 = 21x

42/21 = 21x/21

2 = x

x = 2

Tickets for a school jazz concert were sold before the concert and at the door. After reviewing ticket sales, the band director found that 80 fewer tickets were purchased at the door than before the concert. A total of 520 tickets were sold. Let d represent the number of tickets sold at the door and b represent the number of tickets sold before the concert. Latifa wrote the following system of linear equations to find the number of each type of ticket sold:

d + b = 520. d minus 80 = b.

What is Latifa’s error?
Latifa should have written the first equation as d minus b = 520.
Latifa should have written the second equation as d + b = 80.
Latifa should have written the first equation as b + 80 = 520.
Latifa should have written the second equation as d + 80 = b.

m<a + m<b + m<c = 180⁰

m<a + 34⁰ + 48⁰ = 180⁰

m<a + 82⁰ = 180⁰

m<a + 82⁰ - 82⁰ = 180⁰ - 82⁰

m<a = 98⁰

Hi there!

[tex]\large\boxed{\text{None.}}[/tex]

Using the discriminant formula, we can determine if this equation is ever true:

b² - 4ac

Plug in the a, b, and c values from the equation:

(4)² - 4(1)(5)

16 - 20 = -4 < 0

Since the discriminant is less than 0, there are no zeros to the equation. Thus, the equation is never true.

The answer is -2+/- square root of -1.

Solve the proportion 3/x+1 = 1+2

Answers

Answer:

x = 5

Common denominator of 3/x+1 to 1/2

If the numerator is 3 times, then so is the denominator in a proportion.

3/1=x+1/2

x+1 must equal 6 for the proportion to be equal to 1/2.

6-1=5, so x is 5.

A pharmaceutical company is developing a new oral medication for the treatment of psoriasis, a skin disease marked by red, itchy, scaly, patches. Describe how you could design a controlled experiment to test the effect of the medication. How could you keep participants from knowing whether or not they were in the treatment group?

Answers

Let's say we had a sample of 100 people. We'll split them into two equal groups of 50 each. The two groups will be the treatment and control groups. The treatment group, aka experimental group, is where the actual drug is given. The control group is where the fake drug is given. People in the control group must not know the pill is fake. For more info, check out the placebo effect. In short, this is when a person takes a fake pill and thinks they get better, and that positive mentality helps them actually get better.  

If both the treatment and control groups improve (on average) together, then that means the fake pill is just as good as the real thing. Consequently, it means the real pill isn't effective at all. If on the other hand the experimental group does better overall compared to the control group, then we can see that the real pill is doing what it's intended to do. Of course, there are a lot of complicated factors involved, as there is with anything dealing with medicine. I haven't mentioned anything about side effects or things of that nature. In this simplified viewpoint of the world, we're only considering the one factor of whether or not the drug clears up the psoriasis on the skin.

To make things fair, it's best to randomly generate numbers so that you randomly assign people into each group. That way you have representative samples. Also, when drawing the sample of 100 people, make sure that's as random as possible to help represent the population as best as possible. The fact that the people in the control group not knowing that they are taking the fake pill means we have a single blind experiment. A double blind experiment is when even the researchers are not sure who is taking the real pill vs the fake pill. Double blind experiments are encouraged to prevent the researcher's bias from affecting the results.

To keep participants from knowing whether or not they are in the control group, the common solution is to provide a sugar pill. The pill will not cause any side effects and will not cause any improvements to health. It's simply sugar. To the participant, it seems like the real thing since they can't taste the difference or detect anything seems different.

Answer:

Randomly select a sample of people with psoriasis. Randomly assign them to one of two groups. Give one group the​ treatment, and withhold it from the other group. Give both groups similar looking​ pills, so neither knows which group they are in.

3x+45=180

    -45   -45

3x=135

/3   /3

x=45

Answer:

x=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Straight angles/lines are equal to 180 degrees. If you add the equations together to get 180 and simplify you'll find the answer. So, start out with the equation 2x+45+x=180.

1. Add like terms. 3x+45=180

2. Subtract 45 from both sides. 3x=135

3. Divide by 3 on both sides to get x by itself. x=45

4. Just to make sure, plug in 45 for x. 2(45)+45+45=180. Sure enough, it works!
