You randomly sample 5 people in your​ school, and none of them is a vegetarian. Does this mean that the probability of being a v

egetarian for students at your school equals​ 0? Explain. Choose the correct answer below. A. Yes. Since no vegetarians were found during the​ survey, the probability is 0. If at a later point students who are vegetarian are​ found, this will increase the probability. B. No. In the short​ run, the proportion of a given outcome can fluctuate a lot. As more people are​ sampled, the proportion should approach the real probability. C. No. Probability is​ subjective, so if you​ (the surveyor) decide the probability should be greater than​ 0, then you can make it that way.

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The sample size taken for the school is too small.

5 people not being vegetarian does not mean NO OTHER students are vegetarian also. Thus, an assumption based on this probability of 5 people would not be correct unless fully supported. This makes option A wrong.

Answer B is correct because with small numbers, probability varies a lot and may change drastically with the addition of data.

For example: the 6th person we sample says he/she is a vegetarian.

This would change the probability drastically to 1/6 = 0.1667

Because this is a drastic change, and fluctuation is clear, answer B is correct.

C is wrong because probability is not subjective.

Because this triangle is a right traingle and has one angel that is 45 degrees, the third angle must be 45 degrees to because 90+45+45=180. With that, km must be the same length as lm. we know lm is 5 so km is 5 too. No we can plug this into the Pythagorean Theorem too get

5^2+5^2=c^2

25+25=c^2

50=c^2

√50=√c^2

√25*2=c

5√2=c

Thats your answer to the length of lk.

Answer:

53\frac{1}{2}\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a square is equal to

P=4a

where

a is the length side of the square

in this problem we have

a=11\frac{3}{8}\ in

convert to an improper fraction

11\frac{3}{8}\ in=\frac{11*8+3}{8}=\frac{91}{8}\ in

Find the perimeter of the square

P=4\frac{91}{8}=45.5\ in

Remember to adds two extra inches for each corner

so

The wood needed is  

45.5\ in+2*4\ in= 53.5\ in

convert to mixed number

53.5\ in=53\frac{1}{2}\ in
