When Lila conducted an experiment on citywide pond water, all of her samples came from the pond in her uncle's backyard. Explain her error.

Answers

Answer 1

Her area of study is too narrow. There are other sources of water in the city that she is not considering. So her sample is too biased leaning toward the Uncle's pond water, and that leaves out every other source. We say that the Uncle's source of water is over-represented while the other sources are completely under-represented.

Let's put it this way: We have a hypothetical city that has 100 acres of pond water either in or surrounding the city limits. If the Uncle's pond only represents 1% of this, then she's ignoring the other 99% of the ponds.

What Lila needs to do to to fix this error is to draw up a map of each major pond and mark those ponds with numbers 001,002,...998,999. In this example, there are 999 ponds. Then she needs to either use a random number table or computer software to help randomly generate values to help select the ponds. Doing so will ensure that she spans a good portion of the city and not stay focused on just the narrow area of her Uncle's backyard.

The reason why she needs to enlarge her area of study is because the results of her Uncle's pond study may lead to the wrong conclusion of the city overall. Let's say his pond is contaminated somehow, and it's only his pond that's the unfortunate one. She would likely see the pond is contaminated and conclude that the whole city's water is ruined as well, which isn't the case. Or we could have nearly the entire city's pond water in trouble, but her Uncle's pond is one of the lucky ponds not to get contaminated. We can see that Lila would likely conclude that no action needs to be taken to clean up the city's water sources, which is also not the case.

If Lila only cared about her Uncle's pond, then that pond (and perhaps immediate close surrounding area) would be her population of study. However, her study is about citywide pond water which is why she needs to extend to other places in the city or in the outer surrounding areas.

Parents of students at a middle school
were randomly selected to participate
in a survey. Forty-two out of 60 parents
who were surveyed support a proposal to
buy new computers. There are a total of
456 parents with students at the middle
school. Which is the best estimate of the
number of those parents likely to support
the new proposal?
A. 182
B. 319
C. 365
D. 438

Answers

Answer:

(B). 319

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{42}{60}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{456}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{456}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{7*456}{10}[/tex] ≈ 319

The best estimate of the number of those parents likely to support the new proposal is 319. So the option is (B) 319.

What is constant of proportionality?

Firstly, there is proportional relationship.

Two values x  and  y are said to be in a proportional relationship if x=ky, where x and y are variables and k is a constant.

The constant k is called constant of proportionality.

Therefore, the best estimate of the number of those parents likely to support the new proposal is 319.

¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯BC=5.4 cm
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯CD=3.3 cm
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯AD=6.2 cm
m∠A=27∘
What is the degree measure of ∠C?
m∠C=  °

Answers

Answer:

C = 25.94°

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying cosine rule in ΔABD,

BD² = AB² + AD² - 2(AB)(BD)cosA

BD² = (5.8)² + (6.2)² - 2(5.8)(6.2)(cos27°)

BD² = 33.64 + 38.44 - 64.08

BD² = 8

BD = √8

By applying cosine rule in ΔBCD,

BD² = BC² + CD²- 2(BC)(CD)cosC

(√8)² = (5.4)²+ (3.3)² - 2(5.4)(3.3)cosC

8 = 29.16 + 10.89 - 35.64cosC

35.64cosC = 32.05

cosC = 0.89927

C = [tex]\text{cos}^{-1}(0.89927)[/tex]

C = 25.94°

By using cosine formula of triangles we got that measure of ∠C is 25.94 °

We need to find the angle of elevation must the plane takes off in order to avoid crashing into the building. So,

[tex]\tan\theta=\dfrac{60}{200}\\\\\theta=\tan^{-1}\dfrac{60}{200}\\\\=16.69^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

. The London Eye is a popular tourist attraction in London, England and is one of the largest Ferris Wheels in the world. It has a diameter of 135 meters and makes one revolution (counterclockwise) every 30 minutes. It is constructed so that the lowest part of the Eye reaches ground level, enabling passengers to simply walk on to, and off of, the ride. Find a sinsuoid which models the height h of the passenger above the ground in meters t minutes after they board the Eye at ground level.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=-67.5[cos(\frac{\pi}{15}t)-1][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start solving this problem by doing a drawing of London Eye. (See attached picture).

From the picture, we can see that the tourists will start at the lowest point of the trajectory, which means we can make use of a -cos function. So the function will have the following shape:

[tex]y=-Acos(\omega t)+b[/tex]

where:

A=amplitude

[tex]\omega[/tex] = angular speed.

t= time (in minutes)

b= vertical shift.

In this case:

A= radius = 67.5 m

[tex]\omega=2\pi f[/tex]

where the frequency is the number of revolutions it takes every minute, in this case:

[tex]f=\frac{1}{30} rev/min[/tex]

so:

[tex]\omega=2\pi (\frac{1}{30})[/tex]

[tex]\omega=\frac{\pi}{15} rad/min [/tex]

and

b= radius, so

b=A

b=67.5m

so we can now build our equation:

[tex]y=-67.5cos(\frac{\pi}{15} t)+67.5[/tex]

which can be factored to:

[tex]y=-67.5[cos(\frac{\pi}{15}t)-1][/tex]

You can see a graph of what the function looks like in the end on the attached picture.

The required sinusoidal equation is  [tex]y = -67.5 (cos\dfrac{\pi t}{15} -1)[/tex]

Given that,

It has a diameter of 135 meters and makes one revolution (counterclockwise) every 30 minutes.

It is constructed so that the lowest part of the Eye reaches ground level, enabling passengers to simply walk on to, and off of, the ride.

We have to find,

A sinusoidal  which models the height h of the passenger above the ground in meters t minutes after they board the Eye at ground level.

According to the question,

The tourists will start at the lowest point of the trajectory, which means we can make use of a -cos function. So the function will have the following shape:

[tex]y = -Acos(wt) + b[/tex]

Where,  A=amplitude ,  [tex]\omega[/tex] = angular speed, t= time (in minutes) , b= vertical shift.

Then,

[tex]Radius = \dfrac{diameter}{2}\\\\Radius = \dfrac{135}{2}\\\\Radius = 65.5m[/tex]

The frequency is the number of revolutions it takes every minute is determined by the formula is,

[tex]\omega = 2\pi f[/tex]

Where,

[tex]f = \dfrac{1}{30} revolution \ per \ minute[/tex]

Then,

[tex]\omega = 2\pi \times \dfrac{1}{30}\\\\\omega = \dfrac{\pi }{15}\ radian \ per\ minute[/tex]

Here, The sinusoidal equation can be written as;

[tex]y = -67.5cos\dfrac{\pi t}{15} + 67.5\\\\y = -67.5 (cos\dfrac{\pi t}{15} -1)[/tex]

Hence, The required sinusoidal equation is  [tex]y = -67.5 (cos\dfrac{\pi t}{15} -1)[/tex]
