You want to estimate the number of students in your middle school school who buy school lunch. Which sample is unbiased?

1 answer:

6 0

A biased example: Asking students who are in line to buy lunch

An unbiased example: Asking students who are leaving/going to lunch(NOT buying lunch).

But in this case, the answer choices can be... confusing.
Don't panic! You're given numbers and, of course, your use of logic.

Answer choice A: 100 students grades 6-8
Answer choice B: 20-30 students any one grade
Answer choice C: 5 students
Answer choice D: 50 students grade 8

An unbiased example would be to choose students from any grade. So we can eliminate choices B and D.

Now, the question wants to estimate how many people at your middle school buy lunch. This includes the whole entire school, and if you are going to be asking people, you aren't just going to assume that if 5 people out of 5 people you asked bought lunch, the whole school buys lunch.

So, to eliminate all bias and/or error by prediction, answer choice A, the most number of students, is your answer.

Answer:

So all the possible solutions are:

$\bold{523,~400,~379~and,~378.6}$

Solution Steps:

First you need to solve the real inequality to understand how to find the rest of the possible equations.

Add 78 to both sides:

$78+78=$ Cancels Out

$300+78=378$

So now we know the real answer, but it ask for all possible answers.

(Means anything larger than 300 when you plug it into x - 78 > 300.)

Numbers that are greater than 378:

1.) $377-78=299 > 300$ (False)

2.) $523-78=445>300$ (True)

3.) $0-78=-78>300$ (False)

4.) $-62-78=-140>300$ (False)

5.) $400-78=322>300$ (True)

6.) $379-78=301>300$ (True)

7.) $222-78=144>300$ (False)

8.) $378.6-78=300.6>300$ (True)

Jonah is going to the store to buy candles. Small candles cost $2.50 and large candles cost $7.00. He needs to buy at least 20 c

artcher [175]

The system of linear inequalities are:

$a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$

Solution:

Let "a" be the number of small candles bought

Let "b" be the number of large candles bought

He needs to buy at least 20 candles

Therefore, number of small candles and number of large candles bought must be at least 20

Thus, we frame a inequality as:

$a + b \geq 20$

"at least" means greater than or equal to

Here, we used "greater or equal to" symbol because, he can buy 20 candles or more than 20 candles also

From given,

Cost of 1 small candle = $ 2.50

Cost of 1 large candle = $ 7

He can spend no more than 80 dollars

Which means, he spend maximum 80 dollars or less than 80 dollars also

So we have to use "less than or equal to" symbol

Thus, we frame a inequality as:

Number of small candles bought x Cost of 1 small candle + number of large candles bought x Cost of 1 large candle $\leq$ 80

$a \times 2.50 + b \times 7 \leq 80\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$

Thus the system of linear inequalities are:

$a + b \geq 20\\\\2.50a + 7b\leq 80$

The function f(x) = x2 has been translated 9 units up and 4 units to the right to form the function g(x). Which represents g(x)?

Inga [223]

For this case , the parent function is given by [tex f (x) =x^2
[\tex]
We apply the following transformations
Vertical translations :
Suppose that k > 0
To graph y=f(x)+k, move the graph of k units upwards
For k=9
We have
[tex]h(x)=x^2+9
[\tex]
Horizontal translation
Suppose that h>0
To graph y=f(x-h) , move the graph of h units to the right
For h=4 we have :
[tex ] g (x) =(x-4) ^ 2+9
[\tex]
Answer :
The function g(x) is given by
G(x) =(x-4)2 +9

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

0.24 its opposite value is - 0.24

1/4 its opposite value is -1/4

-5 its opposite value is 5

240 which is positive and its opposite value is -240

Step-by-step explanation:

hey

from the given statement we can see that question demand is about the opposite values. so

as our first value is 0.24 its opposite value is - 0.24

then move on next value is 1/4

its opposite value is -1/4

0 is a neutral value it neither positive or negative

move on to the next value which is -5 who is already negative

so we take a positive value that is 5

again move to 240 which is positive and its opposite value is -240

Hope it will be brainliest to you

Can you please help me with this math problem

Lera25 [3.4K]

This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).

Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.

The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
