ampaign the most likely to win?" Fifteen people called in and nine said yes. What is the implied population?

Answer:

  • Implied population is all listeners of the radio talk show
  • the variable is opinion of a listener
  • Yes, bias is voluntary response. Those with the strongest opinions are most likely to call in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radio talk show host asked listeners to respond therefore the population is all listeners of the radio talk show.

The variable is the response "yes" or  "no"

There is voluntary response bias, because the respondents are volunteered to answer, therefore sample is consisted of self-selected listeners.

The core melt- down and explosions at the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl in 1986 released large amounts of strontium-90, which dec
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If S(t) is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year t, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

S(t+1)=(1-0.025)S(t)=0.975S(t)

Let S(0)=s be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

S(t+1)=0.975S(t)=0.975^2S(t-1)=0.975^3S(t-2)=\cdots=0.975^{t+1}S(0)

or simply

S(t)=0.975^ts

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

S(50)=0.975^{50}s\approx0.282s

or about 28% of the original amount.

We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

S(t)=se^{kt}

where t is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount s decays after 1 year, so that

0.975s=se^k\implies k=\ln0.975

Then after 50 years, we have

S(50)=se^{50k}\approx0.282s

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Once both the House and Senate have approved the bill in identical form, it becomes "Enrolled" and sent to the President of the United States. The President may sign the bill into law. The President can also take no action on the bill for ten days while Congress is in session and the bill will automatically become law.
