Answer:

The selections are dependent.

Yes, they can be treated as independent (less than 5% of the population).

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the selections are made without replacement, each selection affects the outcome of the next selection and, therefore, the selections are dependent.

Although they are dependent, the selections can be treated as independent if the sample size is no more than 5% of the total population. In this case, the sample size is 1235 adults out of a population of 15,958,866 adults. The percentage represented by the sample is:

P=\frac{12,345}{15,958.866}*100\\ P=0.077\%

Thus the selections can be treated as independent for the purposes of calculations.

JACKIE COLLECTS DATA THROUGTH THE BASEBALL SEASON AND USED THESE DATA TO DETERMINE THE PROBABILITIES OF DIFFRENT TEAMS PLAYING I
Citrus2011 [14]

In this question, we want to compare several numbers with different denominators and find out which number is the least. To compare this number, we have to change the denominator into the same number by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the 4 numbers. The factor of each number will be:

3= 3 ^1

5= 5^1

8= 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^3

2= 2^1

We can find the LCM by multiplying a higher exponent of each prime number. The LCM will be:3^1 * 5^1 * 2^3 = 120

Each number will be:

Tiger= 2/3 * 40/40= 80/120

Redbird = 4/5 * 24/24= 96/120

Bulldogs = 3/8 * 15/15 = 45/120

Titans = 1/2 * 60/60 = 60/120

As you can see, the team with the lowest chance to play is Bulldogs = 45/120

If y=-3x + 2, find x when y= -13 *
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

You know what "y" equals, so you just need to insert the value into the equation, then solve for "x".

-13 = -3x + 2

-13 - 2 = -3x

-15 = -3x

5 = x

x = 5

6a+(8b+2a)=6a+(2a+8b)=0 <br><br>please help me solve this
solniwko [45]
<span>Simplifying (6a + -8b)(6a + 8b) = 0 Multiply (6a + -8b) * (6a + 8b) (6a * (6a + 8b) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((6a * 6a + 8b * 6a) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 Reorder the terms: ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 ((48ab + 36a2) + -8b * (6a + 8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (6a * -8b + 8b * -8b)) = 0 (48ab + 36a2 + (-48ab + -64b2)) = 0 Reorder the terms: (48ab + -48ab + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Combine like terms: 48ab + -48ab = 0 (0 + 36a2 + -64b2) = 0 (36a2 + -64b2) = 0 Solving 36a2 + -64b2 = 0 Solving for variable 'a'. Move all terms containing a to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '64b2' to each side of the equation. 36a2 + -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 + 64b2 Combine like terms: -64b2 + 64b2 = 0 36a2 + 0 = 0 + 64b2 36a2 = 0 + 64b2 Remove the zero: 36a2 = 64b2 Divide each side by '36'. a2 = 1.777777778b2 Simplifying a2 = 1.777777778b2 Take the square root of each side: a = {-1.333333333b, 1.333333333b}</span>

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Basically, this is an observational study because the researcher does not apply any treatment.

It's not an experiment because there is no experimentation involved. :)

It's not double-blind because in that case the researcher would have to apply something to two kinds of groups. one aware one the other not. not the case.

It's not D because  The observations are comparing two kinds of subjects and they are not looking for a cause and effect.
