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.

Work out the area of the shaded region.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer: Area of the shaded region is 6.867 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The shaded area corresponds to the difference of the area of the rectangle and the area of the semicircle.

Area of the rectangle = 4 times 8 = 32 cm^2

Area of the semicircle = 0.5 * pi * r^2   (where r is the radius, i.e., half of the diameters, i.e., 4 cm). So Area = 0.5*pi*4^2 = 25.133 cm^2

The difference: 32 - 25.133 = 6.867 cm^2 (area of the shaded region)
