To figure out how many kids are in the school, you must set up an equation with x representing the number of students. 30% of the students are in the play, so that would be represented by 0.3x. We also know that 140 students are not in the play, that could be represented by x-140. These two equations will equal each other since they both represent the same information, which is the number of children in the play. You set those two equations equal to one another (0.3x = x-140). You then can add 140 to the left side of the equation and subtract 0.3x from the right side. We do this in order to get both values of x on the same side of the equation. We then can simplify the right side of the equation by subtracting 0.3x from 1x. We get 0.7x. Our equation now looks like 140 = 0.7x. We must now divide each side of the equation by 0.7 in order to get the x all by itself and find its value. 140 divided by 0.7 is 200. The number of students in the school is 200.

Answer:

Cluster Sampling

Step-by-step explanation:

I cant be 100% sure as i am not in statistics, but by definition cluster sampling is a probability sampling technique where researchers divide the population into multiple groups (clusters) for research (in this case its the phone book). Researchers then select random groups (three random pages) with a simple random or systematic random sampling technique for data collection and data analysis(interviews).

so that appears to be what is happening in this scenario.

REY [17]

Answer:

A total of 720 elk are likely to be infected

Step-by-step explanation:

we shall be using the proportion by survey to estimate the number of infections

From the survey 8 out of 50 are infected. Thus the likelihood of infection is 8/50

We have 4,500 elk to consider. The number of elk likely to be infected will be 8/50 * 4500 = 720

A rectangular field is 95 meters long and 65 meters wide. Give the length and width of another rectangular field that has the sa
Lena [83]

Answer:

There are a ton of answers. For instance, 1m by 159m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area is a=l*w, where l and w are constants.

The formula for perimeter is p=2l+2w

The question wants another rectangle that has the same perimeter, but a smaller area.

The perimeter of the two fields has to be:

p=(2*95)+(2*65)\\p=190+130\\p=320

Thankfully, the question never specified how much smaller the area has to be. So let's go to the logical extreme and make it 1 meter wide. To conserve the perimeter, we'd have to add the removed 64 meters to the original 95 meters of length, resulting in a rectangle with a width of 1m and a length of 159m. This results in an area of exactly 159 m^{2}. The original rectangle had an area of 6175m^{2}. Mission accomplished!

But why stop there? Let's go even further down this rabbit hole!

Instead of 1, why don't we take it several steps further and use 0.0000001? At that point, the length would end up being  159.9999999m.

The area would be 0.00001599999999 m^{2}.

Let's go further!!

Width: 0.00000000000000000001

Length: 159.99999999999999999999

Area: 0.00000000000000000001599999999999999999999 (approximate).

One more, for old time's sake.

Width: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001m

Length: 159.99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999m

Area: 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000015999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 m^{2}

At that point, there's so little area in the plot of land that you could claim it has no area!
