2 parts compost, 6 parts potting soil for 10 kg of mix. How many kg of compost

Mathematics
1 answer:
likoan [24]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportion could be used.

With 2 parts of compost and 6 parts potting soil, you would end up with 8 total parts.

So it can be written as a ratio of compost to total mix, or \frac{2}{8}

The problem states 10 kg are needed in total, and the variable would be the amount of compost

As a ratio it would be \frac{x}{10}.

Use the ratios to write a proportion.

\frac{2}{8} = \frac{x}{10}

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10

\frac{20}{8} = x

Convert to a decimal if desired.

x=2.5

horrorfan [7]

Answer: D. To produce treatment groups with similar characteristics

Step-by-step explanation:

By using randomization in sampling, the Sample would be more representative of the Population it is based off of because different demographic characteristics may be picked.

This leads to a situation where the groups have similar characteristics between themselves thereby making it easier for comparison. For example, Group 1 would have certain types of people that will be represented in Group 2 and Group 3 as well. That way the effects of the drug can be properly studied as it affects different people. For instance, say there are 4 obese people in a sample of 10, instead of group one having all obese people, randomization may be able to give group one, 2 obese people and 2 obese people to group 2 as well. That way when comparing, the effects of the drug on the two groups is easier to be compared because the two groups have similar people.
