Starting at vertex V going until vertex S, we make our calculations.

VR = 14

Rx = x

therefore, xS = VR – Rx

xS = 14 – x                           ---> 1

 

Now starting at vertex V going left to vertex S, we make our next set of calculations. Assuming x is on VR but nearer R

VR  = 14 - x

at UV = 15 – (14 – x)

at UV = 1 + x

at TU = 7 – (1 + x)

at TU = 6 – x

at ST = 9 – (6 – x)

at ST = 3 + x                        ---> 2


Equate 1 and 2:

14 – x = 3 + x

2 x = 11

x = 5.5

Choose the one most likely type of error or bias you might encounter in the following sampling situations. (a) You want to know
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

a) Response error

b) coverage error

c) coverage error

Step-by-step explanation:

Given situation:

(a) You want to know about the dating habits of college students, so you go to a dorm meeting and ask students how many dates they have had in the last year.

Solution:

In such situations the dating habits is a private matter for every individual and would not be truy expressed or conveyed in a dorm meeting. The true response would either be false or hidden in context of a public gathering.. So the likely error would be " Response error"

Given situation:

b) You want to know how often people attend religious services, so you stand outside a particular church on Sunday and ask entering individuals how often they attend.

Solution:

The collection of sample from a "particular" church limits the diversity of responses. The spread of the data might be skewed to certain geographical or population or ethnical locations. A better coverage would be recommended for accurate sampling. Hence, "coverage error"

Given situation:

(c) You want to know how often people eat at McDonald's, so you stand outside a particular McDonald's and ask entering customers how often they eat at McDonald's.

Solution:

The collection of sample from a "particular" McDonalds limits the diversity of responses. The spread of the data might be skewed to certain geographical or population or ethnical or lifestyles. A better coverage would be recommended for accurate sampling. Hence, "coverage error"
