A candidate for mayor wants to know how strong her support is among voters, so she posts an online survey on her campaign websit

e for voters to take. 
Is this sample of voters likely to be biased or unbiased?   A. biased   B. unbiased   To determine whether voters would be willing to vote for a tax increase to improve the city's schools, the board of education surveys 500 parents of children in the city's schools. 
Why is this sample likely to be biased?   A. The entire population of the city was not surveyed.   B. Parents of school children are too busy to be bothered with surveys.   C. There are not enough people in the sample.   D. Parents of school children are more likely to be willing to pay more to improve schools.  In a bin containing 500 marbles, 180 are red, 240 are blue, and 80 are green. In a bowl of 25 marbles scooped from this bin, how many would be expected to be green?   A. 4   B. 8   C. 9   D. 12   A battery manufacturer randomly tests 500 batteries and finds that 3 are defective.

1) A. Biased because the population could be uneven. Too many of one ethnicity, too many of one gender, etc. 

2) I believe this one is C. because there are not enough people. You need to survey the majority of parents instead of a selected few. 

3) There are 80 green marbles per 500, therefore calculate the percentage. \frac{80}{500}=0.16 or 16 percent. Multiply 16 percent or 0.16 times 25. It gives you 4.

4) This one is a probability thing too. For every 500 batteries, there are 3 that are defective, therefore, \frac{3}{500}= 0.006. 

0.006*12000 = 72

5) Yet another one. Add up all the nuts and you get 48. The chance of getting a cashew from these 48 is: \frac{9}{48}=0.1875. 

Therefore: 0.1875*32=6

10 POINTS! PLEASE HELP!! The illustration shows a compact disc tray that holds five CDs. The radius of each compact disc is 9 cm
MariettaO [177]

We can see that there are 5 CDs, each of radius 9 cm

<u>Area occupied by 1 disc:</u>

Area of a circle = πr²

Area of disc = π(9)²

Area of disc = 3.14 * 81 = 254 cm²

<u>Area occupied by 5 discs:</u>

Area occupied by 5 discs = Area occupied by 1 disc * 5

Area occupied by 5 discs = 254 * 5

Area occupied by 5 discs = 1270 cm²

Using the triangle pictured, find the measure of side AB. Round your answer to the nearest tenth. A) 1.6 B) 2.2 C) 2.7 D) 3.3
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Option B (AB = 2.2 units).

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that there are two sides given and one angle is given. Therefore, the sine rule must be used to solve the question. The sine rule can be written as:

sin ABC / AC = sin BAC / BC.

Plugging ABC=72 degrees, AC=2.5, and BC=2.1 in the sine rule gives:

sin 72 / 2.5 = sin BAC / 2.1.

Cross multiplying gives:

sin BAC = (2.1*sin 72)/2.5.

sin BAC = 0.79888747368.

Taking sin inverse on both sides gives:

BAC = arcsin (0.79888747368) = 53.0239949 degrees.

To find AB, first, the angle ACB is required. To find that angle, use the triangular law of angles. All the three angles sum up to 180 degrees. Therefore ACB = 180 - 72 - 53.0239949 = 54.9760051  degrees.

Now applying the Sine Rule to find AB:

sin ACB / AB = sin ABC / AC.

sin (54.9760051) / AB = sin 72 / 2.5.

AB = (2.5*sin (54.9760051))/sin (72) = 2.2 (to the nearest tenth).

Therefore, AB = 2.2 units, i.e. Option B!!!
