Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

"According to the U.S. Census bureau, 23.5% of people in the United States are under the age of 18. In a random sample of 250 residents of a small town in Ohio, 28% of the sample was under 18."

  • Population is the collection of all the observation of individual of interest.

Population of interest:

People in the United States

  • Parameter is any value that describes the population.

Parameter:

23.5% of people in the United States are under the age of 18

  • Sample is a subset of a population and is always smaller than the population.

Sample:

Random sample of 250 residents of a small town in Ohio

A conical paper cup has a radius of 2 inches. Approximate, to the nearest degree, the angle β so that the cone will have a volum
dezoksy [38]
Volume = area of base *height 

20 = pir^2 *h

20 = 3,14*4*h

h = 20/12,56 = 1,59 rounded 1,6

- using the triangle formed by radius,the height of cup and the slant height of cup so we can writing that

tan ß = h/r so tan ß = 1,6/2 = 0,8

tan ß = 0,8 so ß = arctan 0,8 = 38,6 degrees so 39 degrees

Need help on question 5 please help

Answer:

  $66

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be convenient to assign a different variable to the amount of money each spent. We can call the amounts spent by Seedevi, Georgia, and Amy "s", "g", and "a", respectively.

The problem statement tells us ...

  s = (1/2)g

  s = a +6

  s + g + a = 258

__

The problem statement asks for the amount Seedevi spent, so we need to find the value of s. It is convenient to write the other variables in terms of s:

  g = 2s

  a = s -6

Then the sum is ...

  s + (2s) +(s -6) = 258

  4s = 264 . . . . . . . . . . . add 6, simplify

  s = 66 . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 4

Seedevi spent $66.
