The city council of a large city needs to know whether its residents will support the building of three new schools. The council

decides to conduct a survey of a sample of the city’s residents. Which procedure would be most appropriate for obtaining a sample of the city’s residents? Explain your answer.
A.Survey a random sample of teachers who live in the city.

B.Survey 100 individuals who are randomly selected from a list of all people living in the state in which the city in question is located.

C.Survey a random sample of persons within each neighborhood of the city.

D.Survey every tenth person who enters City Hall on a randomly selected day.

Answer: C) Survey a random sample of persons within each neighborhood of the city.

==============================================================

Explanation:

I'll go through each answer choice to say why it is either the answer or not the answer.

A. This is not the answer because teachers are over-represented while non-teachers are under-represented. The teachers will most likely respond favorably to the survey, skewing the results. The other townspeople's opinions would be left out.

B. This is not the answer because people living far away from the city in question should not have sway over what happens in the particular city. It makes no sense to have someone in San Francisco determine what happens in LA schools. It's better to ask people who live in the city. Perhaps you could extend the net to nearby surrounding cities assuming those parents commute into the city to drop off their kids at those schools.

C. This is the answer. It's best to ask city residents because it is a local city issue. I would put every resident's name or address into a computer database, then have a random number generator select those individuals.

D. This is not the answer. People who do not visit city hall will not be represented at all, which skews the results of what the people of the city want overall.

Answer:

Part A) The graph in the attached figure (see the explanation)

Part B) 16 feet

Part C) see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A) Graph the function

Let

h(t) ----> the height in feet of the ball above the ground

t -----> the time in seconds

we have    

h(t)=-16t^{2}+98

This is a vertical parabola open downward (the leading coefficient is negative)

The vertex is a maximum

To graph the parabola, find the vertex, the intercepts,  and the axis of symmetry

<em>Find the vertex</em>

The function is written in vertex form

so

The vertex is the point (0,98)

Find the y-intercept

The y-intercept is the value of the function when the value of t is equal to zero

For t=0

h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98

h(0)=98

The y-intercept is the point (0,98)

Find the t-intercepts

The t-intercepts are the values of t when the value of the function is equal to zero

For h(t)=0

-16t^{2}+98=0

t^{2}=\frac{98}{16}

square root both sides

t=\pm\frac{\sqrt{98}}{4}

t=\pm7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4}

therefore

The t-intercepts are

(-7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0), (7\frac{\sqrt{2}}{4},0)

(-2.475,0), (2.475,0)

Find the axis of symmetry

The equation of the axis of symmetry in a vertical parabola is equal to the x-coordinate of the vertex

so

x=0 ----> the y-axis

To graph the parabola, plot the given points and connect them

we have

The vertex is the point (0,98)

The y-intercept is the point (0,98)

The t-intercepts are (-2.475,0), (2.475,0)

The axis of symmetry is the y-axis

The graph in the attached figure

Part B) How far is the artifact fallen from the time t=0 to time t=1

we know that

For t=0

h(t)=-16(0)^{2}+98

h(0)=98\ ft

For t=1

h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98

h(1)=82\ ft

Find the difference

98\ ft-82\ ft=16\ ft

Part C) Does the artifact fall the same distance from time t=1 to time t=2 as it does from the time t=0 to time t=1?

we know that

For t=1

h(t)=-16(1)^{2}+98

h(1)=82\ ft

For t=2

h(t)=-16(2)^{2}+98

h(2)=34\ ft

Find the difference

82\ ft-34\ ft=48\ ft

so

The artifact fall 48 feet from time t=1 to time t=2 and fall 16 feet from time t=0 to time t=1

therefore

The distance traveled from t=1 to t=2 is greater than the distance traveled from  t=0 to t=1
