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.

devlian [24]

Answer:

<h2>x = 140, y = 80</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x=-2y+300&(1)\\3y=800-4x&(2)\end{array}\right\\\\\text{Substitute (1) to (2):}\\\\3y=800-4(-2y+300)\qquad\text{use the distributive property:}\ a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\3y=800+(-4)(-2y)+(-4)(300)\\\\3y=800+8y-1200\\\\3y=8y-400\qquad\text{subtract}\ 8y\ \text{from both sides}\\\\-5y=-400\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-5)}\\\\y=80\\\\\text{Put it to (1):}\\\\x=-2(80)+300\\\\x=-160+300\\\\x=140

Help please i need it bad
evablogger [386]

Answer:

-13, -3

15, 2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

x, y are the numbers

x = 5y + 2

x×y = 39

(5y + 2)×y = 39

5y² + 2y - 39 = 0

the solution of a quadratic equation :

y = (-b ± sqrt(b² - 4ac))/2a

a = 5

b = 2

c = -39

y = (-2 ± sqrt(2² - 4×5×-39))/2×5 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(4 + 780))/10 =

= (-2 ± sqrt(784))/10 = (-2 ± 28)/10

y1 = (-2 + 28)/10 = 26/10 = 2.6

y2 = (-2 - 28)/10 = -30/10 = -3

x1 = 5×2.6 + 2 = 13 + 2 = 15

x2 = 5×-3 + 2 = -15 + 2 = -13
