Answer:
(B) A selected group of participants that is representative of a larger population
Step-by-step explanation:
A sample statistic is a piece of information that you get from a fraction of the population. This information is representative of a larger population.
For example, someone wants to conduct a survey about the most popular NFL team in Syracuse, NY, if it is the Buffalo Bills or the New York Giants. This person is not going to ask each person for whom they cheer. They are going to collect data from a fraction of the population and this data will be expanded to include the entire population.
So, the correct answer is:
(B) A selected group of participants that is representative of a larger population
4x-6= x+6
4x= x + 12
5x= 12
X= 12/5
X= 2.5
Answer:
(a) 4 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
The given point (4, 0) on the parabola tells you the answer to the question: the coin was in the air 4 seconds before its height is 0. It is no longer in the air at that point.

In order to match the rest of the problem statement, the first given x-intercept must be (-2, 0).
Answer:
(a) isosceles
(b), (c) scalene
Step-by-step explanation:
The lengths of the sides can be found from the distance formula:
d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)
Here, there are 9 lengths to be computed, so it is useful to let a spreadsheet or graphing calculator do it.
We find triangle (a) has two sides the same length, so it is isosceles.
The other two triangles have three different side lengths, so they are scalene.
