Answer:
6 7/8 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
Say the entertainment segments are each x minutes long. Then, we have the equation:
x + x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x + 1 1/4 = 15
2x = 15 - 1 1/4
We need a common denominator. 1 1/4 = 5/4 and 15 = 60/4, so we now have:
60/4 - 5/4 = 55/4. Then: 2x = 55/4
Divide by 2 from both sides:
(55/4) / 2 = 55/8 = 6 7/8
Thus, each entertainment segment is 6 7/8 minutes long.
Hope this helps!
There are two of them.
I don't know a mechanical way to 'solve' for them.
One can be found by trial and error:
x=0 . . . . . 2^0 = 1 . . . . . 4(0) = 0 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=1 . . . . . 2^1 = 2 . . . . . 4(1) = 4 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=2 . . . . . 2^2 = 4 . . . . . 4(2) = 8 . . . . . no, that doesn't work
x=3 . . . . . 2^3 = 8 . . . . . 4(3) = 12 . . . . no, that doesn't work
<em>x=4</em> . . . . . 2^4 = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . 4(4) = <em><u>16</u></em> . . . . Yes ! That works ! yay !
For the other one, I constructed tables of values for 2^x and (4x)
in a spread sheet, then graphed them, and looked for the point
where the graphs of the two expressions cross.
The point is near, but not exactly, <em>x = 0.30990693...
</em>If there's a way to find an analytical expression for the value, it must involve
some esoteric kind of math operations that I didn't learn in high school or
engineering school, and which has thus far eluded me during my lengthy
residency in the college of hard knocks.<em> </em> If anybody out there has it, I'm
waiting with all ears.<em>

Answer:
a) cluster sampling
Step-by-step explanation:
In cluster sampling method, each member of a population is assigned to one and only one group.This means clusters are formed through probability method usually a simple random sampling.The participants in the clusters are the only one to be surveyed.
In this example, simple random sampling is used to identify 12 home rooms(cluster) where a group of 20 students (participants) in each room is given the survey.
add them together then divide by 5
81 +86 +81 +76 +71 = 395
395/5 = 79
your average was 79
