Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

-3x + 8 ≥ 14

-3x ≥ 6

x ≤ -2

Notice the sign gets reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.

The only option less than -2 is -3, A.

Here's a tip: on multiple choice questions, sometimes it's faster to try each answer instead of solving the equation.  This can save time on tests like the SAT or ACT.

Let's try it:

-3(-3) + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17

-3(-1) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11

-3(0) + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8

-3(3) + 8 = -9 + 8 = -1

So you can see the answer is A.

Sampling bias occurs when some members of a population are systematically more likely to be selected in a sample than others. From this definition,

For sample 1, Every fifth person who enters Little Casesars Arena for a Red Wings game. This is not biased because no person is more likely to be selected than another

For sample 2, Every tenth name in the phone. This is also not biased

because no person is more likely to be selected than another
