Answer:

0.32 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of weight of -copper, zinc, manganese, and nickel = 177:12:7:4

let the

weight of copper = 177x

weight of zinc = 12x

weight of manganese = 7x

weight of nickel = 4x

Total weight of this alloy in terms of x =  177x + 12x+ 7x + 4x = 300x

given weight of alloy = 8 grams

thus,

weight of this alloy in terms of x =given weight of alloy

300x = 8 grams

x = 8/300 grams =

weight of zinc = 12x = 12 * 8/300 grams = 96/300 grams = 0.32 grams

Tema [17]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as the individual's that have been selected as part of the study were actually selected randomly then yes. If there was no bias or other external factors affecting the probability of getting chosen then these individual's would clearly represent the entire population of Best Buy customers. Therefore, if the data gathered from these individuals results in being 68% of that population that does not buy anything then this would result in a valid claim by Best Buy.
