Answer:

The sampling of this study is bias

Step-by-step explanation:

Sampling bias is a bias that is gotten during sampling where some members of the population have a lower representation or probability than others in the sample pool. In this case, only the residents living near a river was sampled, and because they are subjected to relatively the same conditions (living near a river), the result of the study will not be a true representation of every member of the town because the people living far away from the river will most likely have different opinions due to their different environmental exposure than the people living close to the river. The correct thing to have been done for the result to be reliable and accurate will be to sample at random, people in the two both close to and far away from the river, or to sample equal number of people each living close to and far away from the river.

Another example of sampling bias is a study to determine the effect of alcohol on pregnancy in women in America, and only pregnant white women who drink are sampled, leaving out Black or Hispanic  women, what ever result gotten in the study may hold true for white women in America, but it may not hold true for every woman in America

What is the standard form for the quadratic function?<br>f(x) = (x – 3)2 + 5​
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

f(x)  = x² - 6x + 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard form is ax² + bx + c = 0 or f(x) = ax² + bx + c

So we are going to expand the equation and combine like terms:

f(x) = (x - 3)² + 5

f(x) = x² - 3x - 3x + 9 + 5

f(x) = x² - 6x + 9 + 5

f(x) = x² - 6x + 14

A triangular pyramid has an isosceles triangular base. The base edge of the triangular base is 10
tester [92]

Answer:

h=94.87

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Volume of pyramid formula:

v=\frac{1}{3}*a^{2}*h

a=b*h Base Edge * Height of Pyramid

2. We have variables:

V = 480, Base Edge = 10, Height of Base = 16 (Inch)

3. Plug into formula + Rearrange:

\frac{3V}{h} =(b*h)^{2} [b^{2} *h^{2} ]

\frac{3V*b^{2} }{h} =h^{2}

h^{2}=\frac{3*480*10^{2} }{16}

h=\sqrt{9000}

h≅94.868
