The second choice is correct. An example of this is a voluntary "product feedback surveys" which tend to biased toward the negative. While people with both positive and negative feedback respond overall, customers who have a complaint are more motivated to take the time, and thus are overrepresented.

definitely the second, the people who volunteer usually have a motive to do so and will be the only ones represented.

Answer:

14 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equations can be solved for y by substituting for x. The first equation is convenient for writing x in terms of y.

<h3>Solution</h3>

x = 20 -y . . . . . . . subtract y from the first equation

7(20 -y) +5.5y = 119 . . . . . substitute for x in the second equation

140 -1.5y = 119 . . . . . . . . simplify

21 = 1.5y . . . . . . . . . . . add 1.5y -119 to both sides

14 = y . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 1.5

14 pounds of soy nuts should be used in the mixture.

Additional comment

There are many ways to solve a system of two linear equations. The attachments shows a matrix solution using a suitable calculator. It tells us that x=6 and y=14, as we found above.
