1. The question about the weight of the football team players is statistical because it requires data collection to answer it and the data is variable.

2. The question about the height of Ben's mother is non-statistical because it does not require data collection to answer and the data is not variable, since it is one data point.

<h3>What is a statistical question?</h3>

A statistical question can be answered by collecting data and for which data will vary.

Questions answered with a single data point are not statistical because there is no data variability to answer them.

A statistical question can be determined by the following criteria:

Provides useful data about a group of people.
Many people can answer it.
There will be many different answers.
The data collected explains a situation or reality.

Thus, the question about the weight of the players asks a statistical question, unlike the height of Ben's mother.

Kisachek [45]

The correct answer is a) $382.50.

He works 3 events and averages 150 pretzels; this is 3(150) = 450 pretzels. Since his cost is $0.85 each, we have
450(0.85) = 382.50

Please Help!! :D Find the value of y.

Answer:

$y=2\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The Pythagorean theorem is a theorem that can be applied to the sides of a right triangle. Please note that a right angle refers to an angle with a measure of (90) degrees. A box around an angle shows that the angle is a right angle, or has a measure of (90) degrees. The Pythagorean theorem states the following,

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Where (a) and (b) are the legs of the triangle, or the side adjacent to the right angle in the right triangle. (c) is the side opposite the right angle, or the hypotenuse of the triangle. One can apply this theorem to the smallest triangle in the diagram to find (y),

$a^2+b^2=c^2$

Substitute,

$(1)^2+(y)^2=(3)^2$

Simplify,

$(1)^2+(y)^2=(3)^2$

$1+y^2=9$

Inverse operations,

$1+y^2=9$

$y^2=8$

$y=\sqrt{8}$

Take a factor from out of the square root. Remember that a number times itself under the radical is equal to the number. This can be simply stated as the following: ( $\sqrt{a*a}=a$ ),
