A study was conducted to determine whether a new highway should be built next to the river in a town. Half of the residents in t

he town live near the river. The sample of this study consisted of all the residents in the town who live near the river. What describes the sampling of this study?

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

To factor the expression 3x2 – 9x, Caleb found the GCF as shown.
Burka [1]

Answer:

Caleb’s error was :

instead of selecting the least exponent ,Caleb took the highest exponent.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x² = 3 • x • x

(in this factorization the exponent of 3 is 1 and the exponent of x is 2)

9x = 3 • 3 • x

(in this factorization the exponent of 3 is 2 and the exponent of x is 1)

• The common factors of 3x² and 9x are 3 and x

In order to determine the GCF ,we have to Compare the exponents of the  common factors then take the numbers which have the least exponent value.

• in the factorization of 3x² the exponent of 3 is 1

and in the factorization of 9x the exponent of 3 is 2

The least exponent is 1 Then we take it.

• in the factorization of 3x² the exponent of x is 2

and in the factorization of 9x the exponent of x is 1

The least exponent is 1 Then we take it.

<u><em>Conclusion</em></u>:

GCF(3x² , 9x) = 3¹ × x¹ = 3x

The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit of a two-digit number is one-half. The tens digit is two more than the units digi
n200080 [17]
The number is 42.

Let xy be the number.  x is the tens digit, y is the units digit.  The ratio of the units digit to the tens digit, y/x, is 1/2.  This gives us the proportion

y/x = 1/2

The tens digit is 2 more than the units digit; x = y+2; substituting in our proportion we have
y/(y+2) = 1/2

Cross multiply:
y*2 = (y+2)*1
2y = y+2

Subtract y from each side:
2y - y = y+2-y
y = 2

x = y+2
x = 2+2
x =4 

xy = 42

Solve the following 5(2x-3)=15
forsale [732]
5(2x-3)=15 

2x-3=15/5  \text{ Divide both sides by 5} 

2x-3=3 

2x=3+3&#10;  \text{Add 3 to both sides} 

2x=6 

x=6/2  \text{Divide both sides by 2} 

x=3
