PLZ HELP ME PLZZZ 15 PTS Mr. Rodriguez asked 60 randomly chosen students from each grade level at Willowbrook School about their

favorite types of reading materials. Of those 60 students, 12 chose science fiction. Mr. Rodriguez used the data to draw the inference that about 20% of middle school students prefer to read science fiction. If 150 students attend the school, did he make a reasonable inference? Explain.

Answer:

Mr. Rodriguez made a reasonable inference. His sampling was random, nonbiased, and reasonably large compared to the school population. 12 is 20% of 60.

Answer:

He made a reasonable inference.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rodriguez asked 60 randomly chosen students about their favorite types of reading materials.

Of those 60 students, 12 chose science fiction.

In percent this is about \frac{12}{60}\times100= 20%

Mr. Rodriguez drew an inference that about 20% of middle school students prefer to read science fiction.

We can see that this inference is correct. He made a reasonable inference as his sampling was non biased and completely random.

The rate StartFraction 165 ounces Over 11 boxes EndFraction describes the relationship between the number of boxes and the weigh
Cloud [144]

Answer:

15 ounces per box

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate StartFraction 165 ounces Over 11 boxes EndFraction describes the relationship between the number of boxes and the weight of the crackers in the boxes. What is the weight, in ounces, of one box?

Total weight of crackers in the boxes = 165 ounces

Total number of boxes = 11 boxes

What is the weight, in ounces, of one box?

Weight per box of crackers =

Total weight of crackers in the boxes / Total number of boxes

= 165 ounces / 11 boxes

= 15 ounces per box

The weight, in ounces, of one box is 15 ounces

A student inscribes a triangle within a semicircle. What is the measure of ∠XYZ?
nata0808 [166]

Answer: a. 90°


Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the in a circle, the measure of an inscribed angle is half the measure of the central angle with the same intercepted arc.

In the problem∠XYZ is the inscribed angle

∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\ arc(XZ)

⇒ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}\angle{XZ}

Since XZ is a diameter of the circle which is a line segment, thus ∠XZ=180°

∴ ∠XYZ=\frac{1}{2}180^{\circ}=90^{\circ}

∴ ∠XYZ=90^{\circ}

Therefore, a. 90° is the measure of ∠XYZ.

in parallelogram ABCD, AC is diagonal, the measure <ABC is 40°, and the measure of <ACD IS 57°. what is the measure of &lt
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer: \angle CAD = 83^\circ Option D


Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we use properties of parallelogram and angle sum property of a triangle.

In parallelogram ABCD


\angle ABC=40^\circ


As, we know that opposite angles of parallelogram are equal


Therefore,


\angle ABC =\angle ADC =40^\circ


Now, in triangle ADC

We know that sum of all the angles of a triangle is =180^\circ


\angle ACD +\angle ADC +\angle DAC =180^\circ


57^\circ +40^\circ +\angle DAC =180^\circ


97^\circ + \angle DAC = 180^\circ

Subtracting 97 from both sides we get


\angle DAC = 180^\circ - 97^\circ


\angle DAC = 83^\circ


Measure of \angle CAD = 83^\circ

Which equations represent the line that is perpendicular to the line 5x − 2y = −6 and passes through the point (5, −4)? Select t
nignag [31]

For this case we have that by definition, the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

On the other hand we have that if two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is -1. So:

m_ {1} * m_ {2} = - 1

The given line is:

5x-2y = -6\\-2y = -6-5x\\2y = 5x + 6\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + \frac {6} {2}\\y = \frac {5} {2} x + 3

So we have:

m_ {1} = \frac {5} {2}

We find m_ {2}:m_ {2} = \frac {-1} {\frac {5} {2}}\\m = - \frac {2} {5}

So, a line perpendicular to the one given is of the form:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x + b

We substitute the given point to find "b":

-4 = - \frac {2} {5} (5) + b\\-4 = -2 + b\\-4 + 2 = b\\b = -2

Finally we have:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2

In point-slope form we have:

y - (- 4) = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)

ANswer:

y = - \frac {2} {5} x-2\\y + 4 = - \frac {2} {5} (x-5)
