Answer:

(c) 78% is a parameter and 72% is a statistic

Step-by-step explanation:

78% of students are receiving financial aid.

Number of samples selected = 100

72% of the sample selected are receiving financial aid.

The population is a made up of all the individuals we want to collect information from (the students of a particular college)

The part of the population from which sample are taken is called the sample.

78% describes the entire population while 72% describes the sample(100 students)

A parameter is a descriptive measure for a population while a statistic is a descriptive measure for a sample. Therefore

78% is a parameter while 72% is a statistic (C)

the main rotor of a helicopter rotates 430 times per minute. find the number of degrees through which a point on the main rotor
n200080 [17]

Answer:

2580 degrees rotated per second

Step-by-step explanation:

since  you have to find the degrees it rotates per second.

you need to divide 430 by 60 to find rotations per second

1)          430/60

             =  7.16666667 rotations per second

-then you have to multiply it by 360 degrees ,because their is 360 degrees in a circle

2)        7.16666667 (360)

            =  2580 degrees rotated per second

Convert 750ft to metre
Angelina_Jolie [31]
One meter is composed of approximately 3.28 feet. To convert a certain measure in feet to meter, divide the number by 3.28. From the given above, using dimensional analysis and the conversion factor,
 
                      (750 ft) x (1 m/ 3.28 ft) = 228.66 m

Thus, 750 ft is approximately 228.66 in meters.

What is the nth term for the sequence 5 , 14 , 29 , 50 , 77
Marina86 [1]
The answer would be 3n^2 + 2.

This can be found/proven by replacing "n" with term number (1,2,3,4...), then solving to get the final number. For example 3 * 1^2 + 2. You would first do 1^2, which is 1. Next, you would multiply 1 by 3, to get 3. Finally, you'd and the 2 to get 5. 5 is the 1st term, and you can use this same equation to get the rest of the terms you need.

I hope this helps!
