Using sampling concepts, it is found that:

a) The best method is: 25 adult residents are randomly selected from the city;

b) The estimate is that 11,536 adults voted in the election.

<h3>What is sampling?</h3>

It is a common statistics practice, when we want to study something from a population, we find a sample of this population, which is a group containing elements of a population. A sample has to be representative of the population, that is, it has to involve all segments of the population.

In this problem, the sample will be representative if all adults, no matter if senior or not, homeowners or not are represented, hence the best method is:

25 adult residents are randomly selected from the city;

The estimate of the number of adults that voted is:

14/25 x 20,600 = 11,536.

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  \sqrt{4x + 6}

{y}^{2}  = 4x + 6

{y}^{2}  - 6 = 4x

\frac{1}{4} ( {y}^{2}  - 6) = x

Swap x and y

\frac{ {x}^{2} - 6 }{4}  = y

A bike store sells scooters at a 54% markup. If the store bought each scooter for $29.25, what is the resale price to the neares
7nadin3 [17]

The purchasing price of the store = $29.25.

They want to resale it at 54% markup of the purchasing price.

54% of 29.25 = 0.54 × 29.25.

On multiplying 0.54 and 29.25, we get 15.795.

Resale price = The purchasing price + Markup

                      = 29.25 + 15.795.

On adding 29.25 and 15.795, we get 45.045.

We can round it to 45 to the nearest dollar.

<h3>Therefore, the resale price to the nearest dollar is $45.</h3>
