Answer:

3361 people should poll so it's inevitable that at least three people in the sample have identical demographic information.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

There are 8 age and 7 income groups, 5 gender choices, and 6 choices for ethnicity.

For age we have 8 choices.

For Income groups we have 7 choices.

For gender groups we have 5 choices.

For ethnicity we have 5 choices.

Therefore, the total number of groups is: 8×7×5×6=1680

That means 1680 distinct group.

According to Pigeons holes principal: If m pigeons are in n holes and m > n, then at least 2 pigeons are in the  same hole.

So to select at least 2 people in the sample have identical demographic information 1681 people needs to poll.

In order to at least 3 people (2 × 1680+1) people should need to poll.

2 × 1680 + 1 = 3361

Hence, 3361 people should poll so it's inevitable that at least three people in the sample have identical demographic information.

Determine the equation of a line that passrs through the point (4,-1) and also parallel to y=3x+4
nexus9112 [7]
First, plug in the given point into y=mx +b to find b (the y-intercept of the line). Use the same slope (m) in the equation since parallel lines have the same slope (3 in this case).

-1 = 3(4) +b
-1 = 12 + b Subtract 12 to both sides.
-13 = b

Now, put your m and b into y=mx+b.

The final answer/equation of your line is:

y=3x -13

Lena [83]

The answer to the question will be 0. 3 Modifying Above 18 with bar

<h3>What will be the decimal expansion of 7 over 22? </h3>

When we divide 7 by 22 we will get 0.3181818..........

Here 3 is not repeating but 18 is repeating again and again

So it is a Non-terminating repeating number

Thus the answers to the question will be 0. 3 Modifying Above 18 with bar
