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

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

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 <em>one</em> grade<em></em><em>
</em>Answer choice C: 5 students
<em></em>Answer choice D: 50 students grade 8

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

Now, the question wants to <em>estimate how many people at your middle school buy lunch.</em> 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.

A scientist writes the equation n(h)100e^0.25h to model the growth of a certain bacteria in a petri dish, where N represents the
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: Second option is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

n(h)=100e^{0.25h}

where, N represents the number of bacteria after 'h' hours.

So, we have given that there are 450 bacteria present.

N = 450

According to question,

450=100e^{0.25h}\\\\\frac{450}{100}=e^{0.25h}\\\\4.5=e^{0.25h}\\\\\text{Taking natural log 'ln' on both sides}\\\\\ln (4.5)=0.25h\\\\1.50=0.25h\\\\h=\frac{1.50}{0.25}\\\\h\approx 6\ hours

Hence, Second option is correct.

The point slope form of the eqaution of the line that passes through (-5,-1) and (10, -7) is y+7= -2/5 (x - 10) what is the stan
stira [4]

Answer:

<h2>2x + 5y = -15</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation of a line:

Ax+By=C

We have the equation in point-slope form:

y+7=-\dfrac{2}{5}(x-10)

Convert it to the standard form:

y+7=-\dfrac{2}{5}(x-10)     <em>multiply both sides by 5</em>

5y+35=-2(x-10)         <em>use the distributive property </em><em>a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>

5y+35=(-2)(x)+(-2)(-10)

5y+35=-2x+20          <em>subtract 35 from both sides</em>

5y=-2x-15            <em>add 2x to both sides</em>

2x+5y=-15

Sandra owns a rectangular pice of farmland that is 2/3 miles wide and has an area 5/9 square mile what is the leght of sandras f
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

  5/6 mile

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle can be used with the given values to write an equation for the length of the farmland.

__

Here is the equation for the area of a rectangle.

  A = LW . . . . . area is the product of length and width

When we fill in the area and width, we have ...

  5/9 mi² = L(2/3 mi) . . . . . equation for the length of the farmland

Solving this equation gives ...

  L = (5/9)/(2/3) mi . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of L

  L = (5/9)/(6/9) mi = 5/6 mi . . . . . perform the division

The length of Sandra's farmland is 5/6 mile.
