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.

Answer:

p=25,\\q=12

Step-by-step explanation:

In (ax+b)(cx+d)=acx^2+bcx+dax+bd, notice the third term of the quadratic in standard form is formed entirely by b\cdot d.

Therefore, in 12x^2 - 13x - 7175 = (x-p) (qx + 287):

-p\cdot287=-7175,\\-p=\frac{-7175}{287},\\p=\fbox{$25$}.

Now that we found p, we must find q. The first term of the quadratic in standard form is formed entirely by ax\cdot cx. Therefore:

1\cdot q=12, \\q=\fbox{$12$}.

This means that everybody answered the same number of items. This means that every data value is equal to the mean. This outcome permits us to say that the sample standard deviation of a data set is zero if and only if all of its values are same or identical.

Answer:

x = 80

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 30 = 110 (opposite sides are congruent/equal)

x = 110 - 30 (subtract the 30 from both sides to get X by itself)

x = 80 (simplify)
