Suppose​ that, when taking a random sample of three​ students' GPAs, you get a sample mean of 3.90. This sample mean is far high

er than the​ college-wide (population) mean. Does this provide that your sample is​ biased? Explain. What else could have caused this high​ mean?

Answer:

Your sample most likely is biased, but simply getting a high number does not 100 percent mean your answer was biased. It could be a pure coincidence that you picked students with high GPAs. However, it is likely that your answer is biased. You may have sampled kids that are in advanced classes. You may have sampled students that were in some sort of honors club. You may have sampled students that were all hanging out in the library, a place that most people come to study and prepare for classes. So again, while your higher than normal answer could have been a coincidence, you most likely had a biased sample.

Subtract 60 on both sides to get -40.

You are left with 40x=-40

Divide both sides by 40 to leave x by itself.

You get x=-1.

Answer:

<h2>A. y = 3x - 2</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form of an equation of a line:

<em>y = mx + b</em>

<em>m</em><em> - slope</em>

<em>b</em><em> - y-intercept</em>

<em />

We have

<em>A. y = 3x - 2   - it's the slope-intercept form</em>

<em>B. x = 1/2y + 8   </em><em>NOT</em>

<em>C. 2x + 5y = 12 </em><em>NOT</em><em> - it's the standard form</em>

<em>D. 3y = 8x - 5  </em><em>NOT</em>

sukhopar [10]

Answer:4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let them number be a

655% of a=26200

655/100 x a=26200

655a/100=26200

Cross multiplying we get

655a=26200x100

655a=2620000

Divide both sides by 655

655a/655 = 2620000/655

a=4000
