Answer:

The given statement describe inferential statistics.    

Step-by-step explanation:

Descriptive Statistic:

  • It helps us to summarize a given data set.
  • It could describe the entire population or a sample from the population.
  • There are two types of descriptive measures: measures of central tendency and measures of variability
  • Central Tendency: Mean, mode, Median
  • Measure of Viability: Standard Deviation, Variance, Range, Interquartile range

Inferential Statistic:

  • It s the process of estimating population parameter with the help of a sample from the population.
  • A random sample from the population is used to describe the population with the help of sample statistic.

Given Scenario:

"Based on a sample of 170 truck drivers, there is evidence to indicate that, on average, independent truck drivers earn more than company-hired truck drivers."

Thus, this is an example of a inferential statistics as a sample was used to estimate the population.

Here,

Sample:

Sample of 170 truck drivers

Population:

All truck drivers.

With the help of a sample, we approximated the population, thus, this statement describe inferential statistics.

What is the value of h?<br><br> h = 20<br> h = 35<br> h = 55<br> h = 70
Makovka662 [10]
The interior angles next to the 2h angles are congruent and each one measures 70 degrees. Since the interior angle is 70 degrees  the exterior angle is 110 degrees.
2h = 110
divide both sides by 2
h = 55

What are the zeros of f(x) = x2 + x - 20?
jeyben [28]

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x² + x - 20

To find the zeros equate f(x) to zero, that is

x² + x - 20 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term ( - 20) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term ( + 1)

The factors are + 5 and - 4, since

5 × - 4 = - 20 and + 5 - 4 = + 1, hence

(x + 5)x - 4) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4
