An AP Statistics class starts a project to estimate the average number of hours a student at their high school sleeps per night.

Their high school has 1200 students, and they take a sample of the first 120 students that arrive at school on a particular day. They ask oach of the 120 students how many hours of sleep they got the night before and then calculate an average.
Which of the following statements is an accurate description of the elements of this survey?

(A) Population: the 120 students surveyed. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.

(B) Sample: the 1200 students of the school. Population: all high school students in the United States. Statistic: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night

(C) Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.

(D) Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Statistic: The average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.

(E) This is not a survey because a convenience sample was used.

Answer:

C) Sample: the 120 students surveyed. Population: the 1200 students at the high school. Parameter of interest: the average number of hours a student at this high school sleeps per night.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Population is the total units of study for the research.
  • Sample is the selected units, chosen for conducting the research study.
  • Parameter of interest is the  characteristic or variable, that is studied related to the population or sample

Research of average hours of sleep in a school; on the basis of 120 students selected for the study; are :-

  • Population is the total number of students in the school, i.e = 1200 students
  • Sample is the selected number of students, chosen (enquired) for the study, i.e = 120 students
  • The parameter of interest is the variable of students, that needs to be studied, i.e average sleep hours.

a maxicool consists of a cone full of ice cream with a hemisphere of ice cream on top. the radius of a hemisphere is 3cm. The he
Gemiola [76]

According to the information, it can be inferred that the volume of the ice cream is close to 207.33 cm³

<h3>How to calculate the volume of the maxicool?</h3>

To calculate the volume of the maxicool, we must calculate the volume of the sphere of ice cream, and the volume of the cone that is filled with ice cream.

<h3>Volumen of the sphere</h3>

V = \frac{4}{3} × π × R³

V = \frac{4}{3} × π × 3³

V = 113.09 cm³

<h3>Cone volume</h3>

V = \frac{1}{3} × π × R² × <em>h</em>

V = \frac{1}{3} × π × 3² × 10

V= 94.24 cm³

Finally we must add both values to know the total volume of the maxicool.

113.09 + 94.24 = 207.33 cm³

If 11 + 11 = 22 and 10 + 12 = 22 then which of the following is true?
xz_007 [3.2K]
B. 11+11=10+12


11+11 is 22
And 10+12 is 22
So the statement is true because both sides are equal

In one statistics course, students reported studying an average (mean) of 9.92 hours a week, with a standard deviation of 4.54.
quester [9]

Answer:

For the student who is studying 10 hours a week is in the 57.93th percentile.

Step-by-step explanation:

Corresponding z-score for the student who studies 10 hours a week can be calculated by the formula

z=\frac{x-M}{s} where

  • x is the hours student work in a week, which is 10,
  • M is the mean studying hour of the class, which is 9.92,
  • s is the standart deviation which is 4.54

from here we find that z=\frac{10-9.92}{4.54}≈0.2

Corresponding percentile for z=0.2 is 57.93

The mean of the data set(9,5,y,2,x)is twice the data set (8,x, 4,1,3).What is (y-x)
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

y - x = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:-

<u>Step(i)</u>:-

Given data set A  is  9,5,y,2,x

<em>Mean of the Data set A </em>

<em>                          =   </em>\frac{9 + 5 + y + 2 +x}{5}<em></em>

<em>                          = </em>\frac{16 +x+y}{5}<em></em>

<em>Given data set B is 8, x, 4, 1, 3</em>

<em>Mean of the Data set B </em>

                         =   \frac{8+ x+4+1+3}{5}

<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>                          

<em>Mean of the Data set A  = 2 X Mean of the Data set B </em>

<em>               </em>\frac{16 +x+y}{5} =  2 X \frac{16+x}{5}<em></em>

<em>On simplification , we get</em>

           16 +x + y = 2( 16 +x)

           16 + x + y = 32 + 2 x

            16 + x + y - 32 - 2 x = 0

            y - x -16 =0

           y - x = 16

Please help with this geometry question
Andrew [12]

It has been proven that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

<h3>How to prove a Line Segment?</h3>

We know that in a triangle if one angle is 90 degrees, then the other angles have to be acute.

Let us take a line l and from point P as shown in the attached file, that is, not on line l, draw two line segments PN and PM. Let PN be perpendicular to line l and PM is drawn at some other angle.

In ΔPNM, ∠N = 90°

∠P + ∠N + ∠M = 180° (Angle sum property of a triangle)

∠P + ∠M = 90°

Clearly, ∠M is an acute angle.

Thus; ∠M < ∠N

PN < PM (The side opposite to the smaller angle is smaller)

Similarly, by drawing different line segments from P to l, it can be proved that PN is smaller in comparison to all of them. Therefore, it can be observed that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.
