A friend of yours is not taking statistics, wonders why it is that anyone would choose to take a sample. "Obviously," she says,

"you would get better information from a census." In a short paragraph, explain why it is that statisticians take samples rather than taking a cenus.

A census is where you poll everybody; a sample is where you choose a group of people to poll. Taking a census is inefficient because you can get almost completely accurate information from a large sample, but a sample would take significantly less time than a census since you wouldn't have to poll absolutely everybody in a population.

Solve for x 4.5 (8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5 (3x + 24)
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

expand

simplify 36 - 4.5x + 36 to -4.5x + 72

simplify 102 - 7.5x - 60 to -7.5x + 42

add 7.5x to both sides

simplify -4.5x + 72 + 7.5x to 3x + 72

subtract 72 from both sides

simplify 42 - 72 to -30

divide both sides by 3

simplify 30/3 to 10

Answer: x = -10

Rewrite in simplest rational exponent form √x • 4√x. Show each step of your process.
Vikentia [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

=  \sqrt{x} .4 \sqrt{x}

=  {x}^{ \frac{1}{2} }  \times 4 {x}^{ \frac{1}{2} }

= 4 {x}^{ \frac{1}{2} +  \frac{1}{2}  }

= 4 {x}^{ \frac{2}{2} }

= 4 {x}^{1}

= 4x
