Answer: B. The data represent a sample since the data are a subset of units.
Step-by-step explanation:
- A population is the largest group of entire observations that can be made during a study.
- A sample is a finite subset of the population that represents the entire population.
Here,
Population = Participants for the study were those who used a popular social networking Web site.
Since the entire data for the "persons used a popular social networking Web site" is not possible.
There have been taken a sample of them.
∴ Correct answer is B. The data represent a sample since the data are a subset of units.
Answer:
The system has no solution
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
Isolate the variable y
Divide by 2 both sides
---> equation A
---> equation B
Compare the equations
Equation A and equation B have the same slope and different y-intercept
Remember that
If two lines have the same slope, then the lines are parallel
The solution of the system is the intersection point both graphs
In this problem, the lines don't intersect, therefore, the system has no solution
using a graphing tool
The graph in the attached figure
Answer:
The minimum distance x that a plant needing full sun can be placed from a fence that is 5 feet high is 4.435 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the lowest angle of elevation of the sun given as 27.5° and the height of the fence is 5 feet.
We will then find the position to place the plant where the suns rays can get to the base of the plant
Note that the fence is in between the sun and the plant, therefore we have
Height of fence = 5 ft.
Angle of location x from the fence = lowest angle of elevation of the sun, θ
This forms a right angled triangle with the fence as the height and the location of the plant as the base
Therefore, the length of the base is given as
Height × cos θ
= 5 ft × cos 27.5° = 4.435 ft
The plant should be placed at a location x = 4.435 ft from the fence.
