PLZ HELP ME PLZZZ 15 PTS Mr. Rodriguez asked 60 randomly chosen students from each grade level at Willowbrook School about their

favorite types of reading materials. Of those 60 students, 12 chose science fiction. Mr. Rodriguez used the data to draw the inference that about 20% of middle school students prefer to read science fiction. If 150 students attend the school, did he make a reasonable inference? Explain.

12/60 students chose science fiction

Approximately x/150 students prefer sf

60x = 1800

x = 30

30/150 students are assumed to prefer sf

30/150 = x/100

150x = 3000

x = 20

20/100 students are likely to prefer sf

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable estimate for the approximate percentage of students that prefer science fiction, because if 12/60 is equivalent to 30/150 which refers to the number of students who can be assumed to prefer science Fiction out of the whole school. Considering we need to identify what 30/150 as a percentage is, we can reduce it down to 1/5 to make I easier, then divide 1 by 5 to get .2
.2 as a percentage is 20%, so his inference was indeed reasonable.

Answer:

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable inference. His sampling was random, nonbiased, and reasonably large compared to the school population. 12 is 20% of 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the answer Edge gave me after entering two wrong answers that the previous people on Brainly gave me.

I need help finding M and B please
QveST [7]
Hey there!
In our slope-intercept equation, b is the y-intercept, where the line crosses the y-axis. In our case, that happens to be -5, because that's where the line intersects the axis.
Now, we're finding m, or the slope. The slope is defined as rise over run. We can use our slope given two points formula, y2-y1/x2-x1 to find the slope.
For our two points, we'll use the intercept: (0,-5) and the other intercept: (6,0)
Let's plug in our values:
0-(-5)/6-0 =
5/6
Therefore, 5/6 is the slope.
Hope this helps!

Account A: $300 monthly deposits, interest rate is 4.2%. Account B: $250 monthly deposits, interest rate is 5.1%. Which account
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to determine the future value of the annuity to determine which account has a greater value

Future value = Amount x annuity factor

annuity factor = Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

Account A = 300 x[ (1.042)^15 - 1 ] / 0.042 = $6097.14

Account B = 250  x[ (1.051)^15 - 1 ] / 0.051 = $5435,42

Account A will be greater

A silo is a composite of a cylindrical tower with a cone for a roof. What is the volume of the silo if the radius of the base is
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

The answer is b. 343,480.8ft

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought it was c at first because I forgot to add the volume of the cone.

The equation for the volume of a cylinder is V=π×r²×h

The solution would look like V=π40²×65=326725.8

The equation for the volume of a cone is V=1/3πr²×h

The solution would look like V=1/3π×40²×10=16755

Adding the two volumes would equal 326725.8±16755= 343480.8
