the video states that 56% of high school students report using sunscreen in 2011, while 68% reported using sunscreen in 2001, le

ading the researchers to conclude that sunscreen use is declining among this population. describe a scenario in which this conclusion could be wrong.( hint: these percentages aer estimates based on sample of this population. while you should assume that they calculated the estimates correctly, consider what other characteristics of these sample could lead to this conclusion being wrong.)

Answer:

For any conclusion to be made on the population based on a sample survey, the sample must be representative of the population. Sample represents the population if the following condition is fulfilled:-

The sample is a Simple Random Sample (SRS). A SRS is chosen in such a way that all possible samples of size n are equally likely. This implies that the sample is not biased.

Getting the representative sample is the challenge. The flaws / conditions ignored by the researchers in this case can be:-

Are only male students surveyed? In that case, the female population is ignored.

Are the students surveyed are from a particular region only? Say students surveyed are from "Alaska" where it is cold in most part of the year and people tend to use less sunscreen.

Are students surveyed are from a particular age group only? Say student surveyed are only from Grade 6. Then the sample does not represent students from other grades.

There are chances that the survey was done at the convenience of the surveyor who approached only those students who were approachable - those playing outside the school. This is called convenience sampling. Though the individuals contacted are easy to contact, they may not be representative of the population.

What line is parallel to 2x+5y=6 that goes through (5,3)
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

4y = x - 17

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, in the equation given : 2x + 5y = 6 , make y the subject of the formula which will give y = \frac{-2x}{5} + \frac{6}{5}  which make the gradient, m, the coefficient of x = \frac{-2}{5}  . Since the line we're looking for is parallel to the one we were given, their respective gradients would be the same. (If they were perpendicular, the gradient of the new line would be a negative inverse of the given line)

Then you proceed to use the one-point formula : y - y₀ = m(x - x₀), where   y₀ = 3 and x₀ = 5 from the point it goes through (5, 3)

y - 3 = \frac{1}{4}(x - 5); y - 3 = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4};  y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{5}{4} +3

y = \frac{x}{4} - \frac{17}{4};  y = \frac{x-17}{4}  ;   4y = x - 17

Solve for x. geometry
likoan [24]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

We make a proportion and solve it:

\frac{x + 18}{x}  =  \frac{28}{20}

28 x = 20x+360

8x=360

x=45
