To estimate the mean number of text messages sent by cell-phone users, a researcher chooses a location on a college campus in th

e city and surveys the first 50 people who walk past. These subjects are asked how many text messages they have sent in the past 24 hours. Is it likely that bias will be present in the sample?
Possible Answers:
A:Because this is a convenience sample, it is likely that the sample results will be unbiased.

B:Because this is a convenience sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will overestimate the mean number of text messages sent.

C:Because this is a convenience sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will underestimate the mean number of text messages sent.

D:Because this is a voluntary response sample of college students, it is likely that bias is present and that the results will overestimate the mean number of text messages sent.

Which choice is equivalent to the quotient below? sqrt 7/8* sqrt7/187/16/121/23/47/12
mario62 [17]

We can apply the following properties of radicals:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt[n]{ab}=\sqrt[n]{a}\cdot\sqrt[n]{b}\Rightarrow\text{ Product property} \\ \sqrt[n]{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt[n]{a}}{\sqrt[n]{b}}\Rightarrow\text{ Quotient property} \end{gathered}

Then, we have:

\begin{gathered} \text{ Apply the product property} \\ \sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{18}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}\cdot\frac{7}{18}} \\ \sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{18}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{7\cdot7}{8\cdot18}} \\ \sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{18}}=\sqrt[]{\frac{49}{144}} \\ \text{ Apply the quotient property} \\ \sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{18}}=\frac{\sqrt[]{49}}{\sqrt[]{144}} \\ \sqrt[]{\frac{7}{8}}\cdot\sqrt[]{\frac{7}{18}}=\frac{7}{12} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the choice that is equivalent to the given product is:

\frac{7}{12}

A rectangular box with a volume of 272ft^3 is to be constructed with a square base and top. The cost per square foot for the bot
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.

The length of one side of the base of the given box  is 3 ft.

The height of the box is 30.22 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that, a rectangular box with volume of 272 cubic ft.

Assume height of the box be h and the length of one side of the square base of the box is x.

Area of the base is = (x\times x)

                               =x^2

The volume of the box  is = area of the base × height

                                           =x^2h

Therefore,

x^2h=272

\Rightarrow h=\frac{272}{x^2}

The cost per square foot for bottom is 20 cent.

The cost to construct of the bottom of the box is

=area of the bottom ×20

=20x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for top is 10 cent.

The cost to construct of the top of the box is

=area of the top ×10

=10x^2 cents

The cost per square foot for side is 1.5 cent.

The cost to construct of the sides of the box is

=area of the side ×1.5

=4xh\times 1.5 cents

=6xh cents

Total cost = (20x^2+10x^2+6xh)

                =30x^2+6xh

Let

C=30x^2+6xh

Putting the value of h

C=30x^2+6x\times \frac{272}{x^2}

\Rightarrow C=30x^2+\frac{1632}{x}

Differentiating with respect to x

C'=60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}

Again differentiating with respect to x

C''=60+\frac{3264}{x^3}

Now set C'=0

60x-\frac{1632}{x^2}=0

\Rightarrow 60x=\frac{1632}{x^2}

\Rightarrow x^3=\frac{1632}{60}

\Rightarrow x\approx 3

Now C''|_{x=3}=60+\frac{3264}{3^3}>0

Since at x=3 , C''>0. So at x=3, C has a minimum value.

The length of one side of the base of the box is 3 ft.

The height of the box is =\frac{272}{3^2}

                                          =30.22 ft.

The dimensions of the box is 3 ft by 3 ft by 30.22 ft.
