Remember that the difference between census and a sample survey is that in a census you take all the people of population in consideration in the study, and in the sample survey you take a part of that population in consideration to survey.
SO here if you check the problem it says that "in a recent poll, Pew reserchers found that 47% OF AMERICAN ADULT RESPONDENTS"
that is the population of the study that you want to focus, but there are a billion of american adult in US right? so its impossible that this company Pow Research made a census if you consider that a billion of people in US is almost infinite number for a company with a finite number of employees.
Also remember that a company has a budget to consider every month or every year, so to make a census or a sample survey it takes time and money, just to survey 10 people in a streeth of US cost money so if you want to reduce cost you might need to do a sample survey instead of a census.
You want to find the value of x for which the area under the curve to the left of x is 0.6. One way to do that is to create the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for the given PDF, then see where it is equal to 0.6.
Doing that, we find a = 5.
T represents hours, so if c(1.5)=c(t) as it mentioned in the problem, then 1.5 equals hours, and c represents cost, so if cost + time equals nine then I think it's a
If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.
Here, your equation would be
... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0
The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.
Answer: A, or 0.2x
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure how expressions and percent's match up, replace the x with an easy number. For example, I use 4.
20% of 4 is 0.8, and 4 x 0.2 is also 0.8
Therefore, the expression to represent that percentage is A.
Also, the other answers were WAYYY off.
B, or x - 20 is flawed since x could be anything.
C, is also flawed in the same way.
And D makes -76.
A is the only sensible one and is proven to work.
Hope this helped!
