4|3x - 1| + 1 = 8

4|3x - 1| = 8 - 1

4|3x - 1| = 7

|3x - 1| = 7/4

Now lets think, we have 3x - 1 in module, so either its 7/4 or -7/4, we will have 7/4 at the end because of it, so we may have 2 solutions in this case:

3x - 1 = 7/4

and

3x - 1 = -7/4

So let's see:

3x - 1 = 7/4

3x = 7/4 + 1

3x = 11/4

x = 11/12

3x - 1 = -7/4

3x = -7/4 + 1

3x = -3/4

x = -1/4

So we have two possible answers, x = 11/2 and x = -1/4

A collection of numerical information, such as the scores on a test, is referred to as simple random sampling.True / False.

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

False. See explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

False

A simple random sample "is a subset of a statistical population in which each member of the subset has an equal probability of being chosen"

In other words that means in order to apply a random sampling we need to ensure that we have the same probability of inclusion for every possible element of the population of interest.

And for this case a collection of any numerical information is not referred as random sampling since we don't know if these scores are representative of the population of interest.

And we don't know if this information is obtained using any sampling frame or sampling methodology.
