This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here is the complete question:
Kareem wants to find the number of hours the average sixth-grader at his school practices an instrument each week. Which is the best way Kareem can get a representative sample?
A. He can randomly survey 50 boys in the school.
B. He can survey 30 students in the school band.
C. He can randomly survey 50 6th graders in the school.
D. He can survey 20 friends from his neighborhood.
The correct answer is C. He can randomly survey 50 6th graders in the school.
Explanation:
A representative sample is a portion of a population that shows the characteristics of all the population. In this context, for a sample to be representative it needs to include only individuals of the population that is studied. Also, ideally, individuals should be selected randomly as this guarantees the sample is not influenced by the researcher. According to this, option C is the best as this is the only one that focuses on the target population (6th graders) and the sample is random, which contributes to the sample being objective and representing the behavior of 6th-graders.
Answer:
7 pounds and 1.4763 ounces
Answer:
It's the first choice y = (-5/2)x - 1.
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the slope of the line 5x + 2y = 12 by converting to slope-intercept form.
5x + 2y = 12
2y = -5x + 12
y = (-5/2)x + 6 so the slope is (-5/2).
The line we require had also a slope of -5/2 because it is parallel to the first line and it also passes through the point (-2, 4). So:
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x - -2) (the point-slope form)
y - 4 = (-5/2)(x + 2)
y = (-5/2)x - 5 + 4
y = (-5/2)x - 1 (answer)
Answer:
y=-3/5x+7/5
Step-by-step explanation:
put into slope form
Distribute the -3/5
y+1=-3/5x+12/5
subtract the one
y=-3/5x+7/5
