Answer: Stratified sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

A random sampling where the population is divided into non-coinciding groups are called strata and a sample is picked out by some design within each strata is known as stratified sampling.

Given : The population of a town is divided into three age categories which are strata . A random sample of each category is surveyed about voting

choices.

Then this type of sampling is called stratified sampling.

Answer:

The population of a town is divided into three age categories. A random sample of each category is surveyed about voting choices. this type of sampling is called stratified sampling.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stratified sampling refers to a type of sampling technique whereby an analyst or researcher divides the large population of interest into a number of groups, referred to as strata.

The researcher then obtains a simple random sample from the respective groups or categories.

Solve each equation. Be sure to check your solution. 0.3a = 51

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a = 170

Step-by-step explanation:

0.3a = 51

a = 51 : 0.3

a = 51 : 3/10

a = 51 x 10/3

a = 510/3

a = 170

0.3x170 =

= 3/10x170

= 510/10

= 51

you rent a canoe for 5$ per hour.Your cost before the tax is added is 12.50. write and solve an equation to find the total numbe

Basile [38]

Answer: The equation is 5x = 12.50 and you will have the canoe for 2 and half hours or 2 hours 30 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You rent the canoe for 5 dollars per hour and that can be represented by the expression 5x. After sometime you paid $12.50 meaning that to find the number of hours that you need the canoe, we need to set 5x to equal 12.50.

5x = 12.50 Solve for x by divide both sides by 5.

x = 2.5

This means you will need the canoe for 2 and half hours.

Solve the equation with quadratic formula y^2+3y-10=0

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

y = 2 and y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the coefficient is not greater than 1, you can simply solve the problem without the quadratic formula.

By using the "x" method, you must figure out what multiplies to give you -10, and adds to give you 3

So, you find your values as 5 and -2. You then set these values equal to zero in terms of Y. As so---- (y+5)=0 and (y-2)=0

Then, you solve out to get your answer! Y is equal to -5 and 2

One of ten different prizes was randomly put into each box of a cereal. If a family decided to buy this cereal until it obtained

Reptile [31]

Answer:

29.29

Step-by-step explanation:

The first trial among a distribution of independent trials with a constant success probability follows a geometric probability.

The expected value of a negative binomial is the reciprocal of its success probability p.

E(X)=1/p

At the first draw, we only selected one of the 10 prizes and so 1 draw gives a success

E(X)=1/p

E(X1)=1

After the first prize is drawn, we are interested in the first time (success), that we draw another prize that is different (p=9/10)

E(X2)=1/9÷10

E(X2)= 10/9

After the first prizes have being drawn, we now interested in the first time success that we draw a different prize from the first 2

E(X3)=1/8÷10

E(X3)=10/8

E(X3)=5/4

After the first three prizes have been drawn, we are now interested in the success of a first time draw for the 4th different prize

E(X4)=1/7÷10

E(X4)=10/7

Fifth different prize

E(X5)=1/6÷10

E(X5)=10/6

E(X5)=5/3

Sixth different prize

E(X6)=1/5÷10

E(X6)=10/5

E(X6)=2

Seventh different prize

E(X7)=1/4÷10

E(X7)=10/4

E(X7)=5/2

Eighth different prize

E(X8)=1/3÷10

E(X8)=10/3

Ninth different prize

E(X9)=1/2÷10

E(X9)=10/2

E(X9)=5

After the 9 different prizes have been drawn, we are interested in the first time we will draw the tenth different prize

E(X10)=1/1÷10

E(X10)=10

Add up all corresponding values;

E(X)=E(X1)+E(X2)+E(X3)+E(X4)+E(X5)+E(X6)+E(X7)+E(X8)+E(X9)+E(X10)

E(X)=1+10/9+5/4+10/7+5/3+2+5/2+10/3+5+10

E(X)= 29.29

Note: Those values in E(X), should be written the way it will in standard algebra ie they should be small.
