A student reports that, of a simple random sample of 50 college u undergraduate students, 21 % were taking more than fifteen cre

dit hours we know that the student has made mistake (or maybe really did not conduct the survey). Why? A) There are . 5 0 students in the sample, so percentages should be multiples of 2% B) There are 50 students in the sample, so percentages should be multiples of 0.02% c) D) 21% of 50 students is 10.5 students, and you cannot sample a fraction of a student. Both A and C are correct. E) Both B and C are correct

Answer:

D) Both A and C are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the sample contains 50 students, the percentage equivalent to each student is:

P = \frac{100\%}{50}=2\%

Each student corresponds to 2%, which means that percentages should be multiples of 2%.

21% is not a multiple of 2% and corresponds to:

n = 0.21*50 = 10.5

21% of 50 students is 10.5 students, and you cannot sample a fraction of a student.

Therefore, Both A and C are correct.

Use the discriminant to describe the roots of each equation. Then select the best description.16x2 + 8x + 1 = 0double rootreal a
SSSSS [86.1K]

Hello!

The discriminant of quadratic functions is: b² - 4ac. Since the equation is in standard form, which is Ax² + Bx + C = 0 , we can substitute those values into our discriminant and simplify.

The value of the discriminant will tell us how many solutions there are to the given quadratic equation.

A positive discriminant will have two real solutions.

A discriminant of zero will have one real solution.

A negative discriminant will no real solutions.

1. Substitute, a = 16, b = 8, c = 1.

8² - 4(16)(1)

64 - 4(16)(1)

64 - 64(1)

64 - 64

0

Since the discriminant is zero, the answer is choice A, double root, because since it is raised to the power of 2, it must has two roots, but in this case, both of the roots the same x-values.

A rectangle as the width of 9 units and length of 40 units. What is the length of the diagonal?
Kitty [74]

Answer:

the Diagonal is 41 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the sides of a rectangle, to be a rectangle, meet at 90° we use Pythagorean Theorem a² + b² = c²  

Width and Length are the legs and the diagonal is the hypotenuse

9² + 40² = c²

81  + 1600 =  c²

1681 = c²

√1681 = √c²

41 = c
