Answer 1

Answer:

C. A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

E. A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

Step-by-step explanation:

These two are the biased reports because they don't include the full population.

C is biased because it only includes teens, not people of any other age.

E is biased because it only included males, not females.

A isn't biased because it includes the stated population, high school students in the city.

B isn't biased because the sample was of 50 random customers, which is the general population.

D isn't biased as it included all data from the website.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The solution is,:

1) A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

3) A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

What is sample and statistic?

A portion of population taken and analyzed to predict information about population is called sample of that population.

Ex: When someone surveys a group, then he/she surveys a portion and not whole population in general.

Those numbers who summarize information about sample are called statistic.

(Statistic is different than statistics)

The  numbers which summarize information about the sample are called statistic.

The scenarios in which the statistics are misleading;

1) A clothing store claims that 45% of its customers prefer skinny jeans over regular jeans. They concluded this from a survey which asked 120 randomly selected teenage customers which style they prefer.

3) A report by a company that manufactures hair brushes says 56% of people who buy their brushes own only one hair brush. The conclusion comes from a survey of 500 males who bought the company's brush.

HELP what's the distance for this question? ​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Distance = 38.57ft[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Base = 60[/tex]

[tex]\theta = 50[/tex]

Required

The distance between the top and John

The distance is calculated using:

[tex]sin\alpha = \frac{Distance}{Base}[/tex]

Where

[tex]\alpha = 90 - \theta[/tex] --- the angle between the diagonal line and the vertical line

[tex]\alpha = 90 - 50[/tex]

[tex]\alpha = 40[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Sin(40) = \frac{Distance}{60}[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 60 * sin(40)[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 60 * 0.6428[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 38.57ft[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 986 * tan(38)[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 986 * 0.7812[/tex]

[tex]Distance = 770ft[/tex] --- approximated

If g(x) = 3, that means that the output is three.

Outputs are y values.

Look at the graph. When y=3, the x  = 9.

So the input value for which g(x) = 3 (aka that gives the output y = 3) is x = 9

Answer:

Jada spent 3 hours and 15 minutes at the state fair.

Step-by-step explanation:

She started at 8:45 am and left at 11:00 am.

So 8:45 to 9 is 15 minutes.

So how far away is 9 am to 11 am?

11 - 9 = 3

3 hour difference

But remember to add the 15 minutes from the 8:45 to 9

Answers

Answer:

Capacity of tank = 44,000 l

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Height of tank = 3.5 m

Radius = 2 m

Find:

Capacity of tank

Computation:

Volume of cylinder = πr²h

Volume of cylinder = (22/7)(2)²(3.5)

Volume of cylinder = 44 m³

1m³ = 1000 l

So,

Capacity of tank = 44  x 1,000

Capacity of tank = 44,000 l

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a) zeros: -2/3, 6

  b) x < -2/3, signs: -, -; sign of product: +

  -2/3 < x < 6, signs: +, -; sign of product: -

  x > 6, signs: + +; sign of product: +

  c) solution: x < -2/3 ∪ x > 6

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The zeros of the product are the values of x that make either factor zero. (A product is only zero if one of the factors is zero.)

  3x +2 = 0   ⇒   x = -2/3

  x -6 = 0   ⇒   x = 6

The zeros of the quadratic are x = -2/3 and x = 6.

__

b) For values of x left of the left-most zero, both factors are negative. For values of x between the zeros, the left factor is positive and the right factor is negative. For values of x greater than the right-most zero, both factors are positive. That is, for large negative values of x, all factors are negative. Working left-to-right, each time a zero is crossed, one factor changes sign.

__

c) The solution is where the signs of the factors match:

  x < -2/3 or -6 < x

A. 28; two real roots

Answers

Answer:

Discriminant = -24, no real roots.

Step-by-step explanation:

The discriminant is what's inside the square root in the quadratic formula.

The quadratic formula is:

[tex]\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}[/tex]

a = 1

b = 2

c = 7

The question wants the discriminate, we can just focus on the square root part.

When we plug in the parts we got, it becomes:

[tex]\sqrt{4-4(1)(7)}\\\sqrt{4-28} \\\sqrt{-24}[/tex]

Since the inside of the square root is negative, there are no real roots.

m<ZVW = 36°

m<XVU = 43°

m<YVX + m<YVZ + m<ZVW + m<XVU = 180° (angles in a straight line)

m<YVX + 52 + 36 + 43 = 180 (substitution)

m<YVX + 131 = 180

m<YVX = 180 - 131

A jewelry store offers its own brand of customizable charm bracelets. You are able to choose from 9
different charms for your bracelet.
How many different charm bracelets is it possible to create?

Answers

Answer:

It depends on the number of charms that your bracelet can have.

here we need to count the number of selections that we have, and the number of options for each one of these selections.

So if we can have only one charm, we have only one selection, and for that selection, we have 9 options, then there are 9 different one-charm bracelets.

If each bracelet can have 2 charms then we have two selections.

For the first selection, we have 9 options,

If each charm can be selected only one time, then for the next selection we will have 8 options, now the total number of combinations is equal to the product between the numbers of options for each selection, so here the total number of combinations is:

C = 9*8 = 72

If we can select 3 charms, then:

first charm = 9 options

second charm = 8 options

third charm = 7 options

Total number of combinations = 9*8*7 = 504 combinations.

Notice that we can not give an exact answer because we do not know the number of charms in each bracelet and we do not know if a charm can be selected multiple times or only one, but here you could see the general way to solve this kind of problems.
