Answer:

Sample: few thousand adults

Population: all the adults

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample is a subset of the population, selected randomly.

In this case:

The sample consist of the few thousand adults selected to determine the opinions about the National polls.

The population consist of all the adults belonging to the said nation.

Consider an example about the new President election.

To determine which of the two candidates (say <em>A</em> and <em>B</em>) has a higher probability of winning the President election, the election society took a random sample of voters and asked who they think will be a better president.

The sample selected will be large enough, probably 10% of the population of all voters.

From this study it can be estimated which candidate has the higher chance of winning.

A standard deck of cards contains 52 cards. One card is selected from the deck.​(a)Compute the probability of randomly selecting
Aneli [31]

a. There are four 5s that can be drawn, and \binom43=4 ways of drawing any three of them. There are \binom{52}3=22,100 ways of drawing any three cards from the deck. So the probability of drawing three 5s is

\dfrac{\binom43}{\binom{52}3}=\dfrac4{22,100}=\dfrac1{5525}\approx0.00018

In case you're asked about the probability of drawing a 3 or a 5 (and NOT three 5s), then there are 8 possible cards (four each of 3 and 5) that interest you, with a probability of \frac8{52}=\frac2{13}\approx0.15 of getting drawn.

b. Similar to the second case considered in part (a), there are now 12 cards of interest with a probability \frac{12}{52}=\frac3{13}\approx0.23 of being drawn.

c. There are four 6s in the deck, and thirteen diamonds, one of which is a 6. That makes 4 + 13 - 1 = 16 cards of interest (subtract 1 because the 6 of diamonds is being double counted by the 4 and 13), hence a probability of \frac{16}{52}=\frac4{13}\approx0.31.

Note: \binom nk is the binomial coefficient,

\dbinom nk=\dfrac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}={}_nC_k=C(n,k)=n\text{ choose }k

A pair of jeans that originally costs $42 is 25% off.Find the sale price.ASAP PLZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anon25 [30]
Original Price = $42
Discount = 25%   ---------> 25% is discount because it says 25% <span><u />off!!!</span>
Now,
Sale price = original price - discount % of original price  
                 = 42 - 25% of 42 
                 = 42 - (25/100) * 42   
                 = 42 - 0.25 * 42 
                 = 42 - 10.5 
                 = 31.5

So, the sale price is $31.5

Determine 2nd term and rth term of a.p.whose 6 th term is 12 and 8 th term is 22​
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The n th term of an arithmetic progression is

a_{n} = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

Given a_{6} = 12 and a_{8} = 22, then

a₁ + 5d = 12 → (1)

a₁ + 7d = 22 → (2)

Subtract (1) from (2) term by term to eliminate a₁

2d = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

d = 5

Substitute d = 5 into (1) to find a₁

a₁ + 5(5) = 12

a₁ + 25 = 12 ( subtract 25 from both sides )

a₁ = - 13

Thus

a_{2} = - 13 + 5 = - 8

a_{n} = - 13 + 5(n - 1) = - 13 + 5n - 5 = 5n - 18 ← n th term
