A professor is interested in the average length of books in her library. She has divided her books into a few different categori

es: 235 books on mathematics, 290 books on sports, and 166 books on interior design. Rather than examining all the books, she plans to use a stratified sample of 50 books. How many of the sports books should she choose?

Answer:

<h2>21 books approximately.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all we need to find the proportion of the sample. To do that, we sum all the books and then divide by the sample we need, which is 50

\frac{50}{235+290+166} =\frac{50}{691}, because we need 50 books among 691 total.

Now, with this ratio, which is the same for all sample we would make here, we find the stratified sample of books, specifically, for sports books which are 290.

s=290 \times \frac{50}{691}\\ s \approx 21

Thefore, she should take 21 sports books.

Remember that stratified sampling refers to a type of sampling method where the population is divided into separate groups, which in this case represented the type of books. Then, we use a "probability" sample, or a proportion of the sample to apply it.

True or False?In Exercise,determine whether the statement is true or false given that f(x) = In x.if it is false,explain why or
kompoz [17]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

f(x) = \text{In } x

The given statement is

f(x - 2) = f(x) - f(2), x > 2

Putting the values on the right side of the given statement

f(x-2)\\=\text{ln }(x-2) \neq \text{ln }x - \text{ln }2

Thus, the given statement is false.

This can be explained with the help of an example:

For x = 3

f(x-2) = f(3-2) = f(1)\\=\text{ln }1 = 0\\f(x)-f(2)\\=\text{ln }3-\text{ln }2 \\=0.4054

Expand(2x-1)(x+5) please answer this ASAP thank you.
hjlf

Answer:

2x² + 9x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(2x - 1)(x + 5)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

2x(x + 5) - 1(x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 10x - x - 5 ← collect like terms

= 2x² + 9x - 5

KatRina [158]

Answer:

One-sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to add the blue tokens (two-sixths) plus the gold tokens (two-sixths) when you add those you get five-sixths and since we are dealing with sixths we would subtract five-sixths from six-sixths

Solve 4x + 11 = k for x.
shtirl [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x + 11 = k

Reorder the terms:

11 + 4x = k

Solving

11 + 4x = k

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-11' to each side of the equation.

11 + -11 + 4x = -11 + k

Combine like terms: 11 + -11 = 0

0 + 4x = -11 + k

4x = -11 + k

Divide each side by '4'.

x = -2.75 + 0.25k

Simplifying

x = -2.75 + 0.25k
