How does the sample size affect the validity of an empirical​ argument?

When you say empirical argument, it means facts gathered and concluded through a series of experimentation and reliable data gathered and not through theory or speculation.

Therefore, a sample size can greatly affect the validity of an empirical argument once proven inaccurate because what we want to see in an empirical argument is the clear-cut reality of what the researchers gathered through meticolous experimentation and not otherwise.

300ml of ethanol is not the same as 300L of ethanol and 2 grams of salt is not 2 kilos of salt. However, if it can be explained thoroughly that a sample size is just a fraction representation of the original, it is wise to create a control subject to compare the data  and make it more reliable. Say for example, you wouild like to compare the sun and the earth, make sure to make the models realistically proportional in your miniature globe models.

Answer:

1. The sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5

2. Presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old

3. Distance = 3682km

4. Possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

5. L < 38m

Step-by-step explanation:

The question has lots of missing details. See the comment section for complete question

Solving (a):

Given

Shape: Quadrilateral

Sides: Consecutive

Perimeter = 160

Let one of the sides be x. The other sides will be x + 1, x + 2 and x + 3.

So, the perimeter is:

Perimeter = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3

This gives:

160 = x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3

Collect Like Terms

160 -1-2-3= x+x+x+x

154= 4x

Divide both sides by 4

38.5 = x

x =38.5

<em>So, the sides are: 38.5, 39.5, 40.5 and 41.5</em>

<em></em>

Solving (b):

Given

Presently: Inzo = 10 + Miz

Five years ago: Miz - 5= \frac{1}{3} * (Inzo-5) --- (Missing from the question)

Required: Determine their present ages

Substitute 10 + Miz for Inzo in the second equation

Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (10 + Miz - 5)

Miz - 5 = \frac{1}{3} * (Miz + 5)

Multiply both sides by 3

3Miz - 15 = Miz + 5

Collect Like Terms

3Miz -Miz = 15  + 5

2Miz= 20

Divide both sides by 2

Miz = 10

Substitute 10 for Miz in Inzo = 10 + Miz

Inzo = 10 + 5

Inzo = 15

<em>So presently, Inzo is 15 years old and Miz is 10 years old</em>

Solving (3):

Given

Express Train:

Speed = 100kph

Time = t

Local Train:

Speed = 45kph

Time = t + 45

Required: Determine the distance between A and B

Distance is calculated as:

Distance = Speed * Time

For the express train:

Distance = 100 * t

For the local train

Distance = 45 * (45 + t)

Distance between both stations are equal; So,

100 * t = 45 * (45 + t)

100 t = 2025 + 45t

Collect Like Terms

100 t -45t= 2025

55t= 2025

Divide by 55

t = 36.82

Substitute 36.82 for t in Distance = 100 * t

Distance = 100 * 36.82

Distance = 3682km

Solving (4):

Let the even numbers be: n and n + 2.

Sum greater than 24: n + n + 2 > 24

Sum less than 60: n + n + 2 < 60

So, we have:

n + n + 2 > 24

2n + 2 > 24

Collect Like Terms

2n > 24-2

2n > 22

n > 11

n + n + 2 < 60

2n + 2< 60

Collect Like Terms

2n < 60-2

2n < 58

Divide by 2

n

So, we have:

n > 11 and n < 29

So, possible pairs are: (12, 14), (16, 18) and (20, 24)

Solving (5):

Given

Perimeter < 152m

Required: Find the possible lengths

Let the length be L.

Perimeter is calculated as:

Perimeter =4 * L

Perimeter =4  L

So, we have:

4L < 152m

Divide through by 4

L < 38m

Hence, length is less than 38m (e.g. 37m)

How do I round off to the nearest decimal place​
Marrrta [24]
First, find the digit in the place you are rounding to. Look at the digit one place to the right. If the digit is less than 5, round down. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up.
For example: round 1.86 to the nearest tenth
Look at the tenth digit (8). The number to the right of it is 6. Since it’s above 5, round the 8 up to 9. So you would get 1.9.

If it was 1.84, since 4 is less than 5, you would not round the 8, and you would get 1.8
