Hello...
Area is measured by the formula A=L*W (Area = Length X Width) We know the area is 38 1/4 and the width is 4 1/2. It is easiest to convert them to decimals and solve. 38 1/4 = 38.25 and 4 1/2= 4.5 . so, 38.25 = 4.5 * W
To solve for Width, we need to isolate it by getting 4.5 on the other side. To do this, we divide by 4.5 on both sides of the equals sign. this will give us W=8.5 or Width = 8 1/2 meters.
In my opinion, Darrin's inference is wrong because according to given question, "<em>Darrin surveyed a random sample of 10 students from his science class about their favorite types of TV shows.</em><em>"</em><em> </em>
This line provides the information that the survey is taken randomly. Also, if Darrin had taken some other students, then the ineference of other new students compared with previously surveyed students will be different.
This frankly tells that <em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>p</em><em>r</em><em>o</em><em>b</em><em>a</em><em>b</em><em>i</em><em>l</em><em>i</em><em>t</em><em>y</em><em> </em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>d</em><em>i</em><em>f</em><em>f</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em>e</em><em>n</em><em>t</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em>l</em><em>w</em><em>a</em><em>y</em><em>s</em><em>.</em>
Therefore, Darrin's inference is wrong or invalid.
This is middle school work woah
