Determine whether the underlined number describes a population parameter or a sample statistic. Explain your reasoning. Sixty-fi

ve of the 93 passengers aboard an airship survived an explosion Choose the correct statement below.
A. The number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.
B. The number is a population parameter because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.
C. The number is a population parameter because it describes the people in the airship, which is a subset of all people.
D. The number is a sample statistic because it describes the people in the airship, which is a subset of all people.

Answer: A. The number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.

Step-by-step explanation:

A population is simply similar items or events that a researcher or an experimenter is interested and wants to carry out an experiment on.

A statistic is simply referred to as the piece of information gotten from the population while a sample statistic is the piece of statistical information which a researcher will be able to get from the statistic.

In this scenario, the number is a sample statistic because it is a numerical description of all of the passengers that survived.

Which of these statements are correct about a line segment with a length of 12 units in a coordinate plane? Select all that appl
Vitek1552 [10]

Correct statements are:

If it is reflected across the y-axis, its length still will be 12 units.

If it is rotated 270° about the origin, its length still will be 12 units.

If it is translated 15 units up, its length still will be 12 units.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Whatever it may be rotation, reflection or translation, the size of the line will never change. So length of the line is same as 12 units in the image.

So the wrong statements are

If its reflected across y = -x then the length will no longer be 12 units.

If it is rotated 90° about the origin, then the length will no longer be 12 units.

If it is translated 18 units to the right,  then the length will no longer be 12 units.

A golfer keeps track of his score for playing nine holes of golf​ (half a normal golf​ round). His mean score is 8080 with a sta
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For the first 9 holes X:

E(X) = 80

SD(X)=13

For the second 9 holes Y:

E(Y) = 80

SD(Y)=13

For the sum W=X+Y, the following properties holds for means , variance and standard deviation :

E(W)=E(X)+E(Y)

     and

V(W)=V(X)+V(Y)

⇒SD²(W)=SD²(X)+SD²(Y)        [ Variance = (standard deviation)²]

\Rightarrow SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

∴E(W)=E(X)+E(Y) = 80 +80=160

            and

∴SD(W)=\sqrt{SD^2(X)+SD^2(Y)}

              =\sqrt{11^2+11^2}

               =\sqrt{2.11^2}

               =11\sqrt2

Therefore the mean and standard deviation of his total score if he plays a full 18 holes are 160 and 11\sqrt2 respectively.

Select all ratios that are in their simplest form. a29:26 b4:28 c25:10 d28:5 e12:19
xxTIMURxx [149]

The correct answer is Option A , D , E.

<h3>What is meant by ratio?</h3>

A ratio in mathematics is a comparison of two or more numbers that shows how big one is in comparison to the other.

<h3>What is meant by ratio in simplest form?</h3>

Ratio in it's simplest form means when the ratio can't be simplified anymore  by cancelling out the common factors.

The ratio in Option(A) can't be simplified anymore because 29 is a prime number.

The ratio in Option(B) can be simplified to 1 / 7.

The ratio in Option(C) can be simplified to 5 / 2.

The ratio in Option(D) can't be simplified.

The ratio in Option(E) can't be simplified because 19 is prime number.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A , D , E.

Will adding a negative number to another integer always result in a negative sum? Why?
Ghella [55]

Answer:

  D  No, the integer with the larger absolute value always determines the sign of the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the integer you start with is +3. Adding -1 or -2 or -3 to that will result in 2, 1, or 0, none of which are negative. Only when you add a negative number with an absolute value greater than 3 will you get a sum that is negative. That is, <em>the number in the sum that has the largest absolute value determines the sign of the result</em>. (This is most important when the signs differ, but it is also true when the signs are the same.)
