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.

Answer:  C.) 3 to the power of negative two, 1.3 x 10 to the power of negative one, 1/3, and 3 squared.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 to the power of negative 2 = 0.11111111111

3 squared is 1.73205080757

1.3 x 10 to the power of negative 1 = 0.13

1/3 converted to a decimal is 0.333

Now that we know what everything equals we know that anything that doesn't start with 3 squared is right and a little cheat is that only one of them start with 1/3 so we know that the second biggest is 1/3 so it is C.) 3 to the power of negative two, 1.3 x 10 to the power of negative one, 1/3, and 3 squared.

A body travels 10 meters during the first 5 seconds of its travel, and it travels a total of 30 meters over the first 10 seconds
meriva
The answer is 4 m/s.

In the first 5 seconds, a body travelled 10 meters. In the first 10 seconds of the travel, the body travelled a total of 30 meters, which means that in the last 5 seconds, it travelled 20 meters (30m + 10m).
The relation of speed (v), distance (d), and time (t) can be expressed as:
v = d/t

We need to calculate the speed of the second 5 seconds of the travel:
d = 20 m (total 30 meters - first 10 meters)
t = 5 s (time from t = 5 seconds to t = 10 seconds)

Thus:
v = 20m / 5s = 4 m/s
