A: Suppose Mr. Moore decides to use 20 seventh graders as the sample. Is this sample a random sample? Explain your reasoning.
Ans: No, because he only chose the seventh graders which is invalid since he wants to have to use the mean height which involves the 6th, 7th and 8th graders.
B: Mr. Moore decides to use a random number generator to select 20 students from the school. Suppose that when choosing 20 students using the random generator on the graphing calculator, Mr. Moore’s sample is all eighth graders. Does that mean the sample is not a random sample? Explain your reasoning.
Ans: No, it is still a random sample. Since he is using a random generator, there is a possibility that the random generator would pick all students from the 8th grade. Unlike the first one, the random generator is not biased towards any grade, it is just a coincidence.

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>£ 449.20</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to reduce 465.98 by 3.6%
Firstly, lets convert the percentage to decimal by dividing by 100. So we have:
3.6/100 = 0.036
Lets find 3.6% of 465.98
That is:
0.036 * 465.98 = 16.77528
This is the "LESSENED" amount. So the final amount would be:
465.98 - 16.77528 = 449.20472
<em>Rounding to 2 decimal places, £ 449.20</em>
