Answer:

b) Dependent sample

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Sample size, n = 1400

The average sleep of the respondents in weekdays = 6.5 hours

The average sleep of the respondents in weekends = 7.2 hours

% with eight or more hours of sleep on​ weekdays = 20%

% with eight or more hours of sleep on​ weekends = 43%

Required: To Check if the samples on weekdays and weekends are independent or dependent.

When samples are independent, it means one sample does not influence the other and vice versa, while samples are said to be dependent if the outcome of one test influences the outcome of the other. The tests might be from a similar population or from various populations.

In this case, the sample gathered are from similar population because same sample is used for both weekdays and weekends. Therefore, we can say the sample is a paired sample.

The samples on weekdays and weekends are dependent since same people are used, also since sleep on weekdays and sleep on weekends may influence each other.

Which of the following represents a geometric series (remember what a series is as opposed to a sequence)?
juin [17]

Answer:

4 + 12 + 36 + ...

Step-by-step explanation:

4, 12, 36, ... is a geometric sequence, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

When we add the terms of a geometric sequence we get a geometric series.

4+12+36+ ... is a geometric series, it has a common ratio of r=\frac{36}{12}=\frac{12}{4}=3

4 + 12 + 20 + ... is not a geometric series because it has no common ratio

\frac{20}{12}\ne \frac{12}{4}

The second choice is correct

Solve the following equation for x: 5x + 3y = 15.
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

x = negative three fifthsy + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 3y = 15

Subtract 3y from both the sides,

5x = 15 - 3y

Divide by 5 on both sides,

x = -3y/5 + 15/5

x = -3y/5 + 3
