Answer:

D. ​Inferential, because the statistics are used to make an inference about the population

Correct, the objective of this study is obtain information from the population with a sample and then use any method to estimate the population mean, the parameter of interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

An inferential study consists in take information about a population by a sample and use this information to see what would be the possible values for the population of interest

By the other hand a descriptive study is obtained from observing and measuring some variables of interest but without manipulate the data.

For this case we have sample averages for the viewing time per month.

Let's analyze one by one the possible options:

A. ​Inferential, because the statistics are used to describe the sample

False the study is inferential but the idea is not just obtain information about the sample, we want to see the population parameters not the statistics

B. ​Descriptive, because the statistics are used to describe the sample

False for this case we have averages calculated from the sample mean and is not possible to consider this study as descriptive.

C. ​Descriptive, because the statistics are used to make an inference about the population

False, the statistics are used to make an inference about the population, this statement is correct, but the problem is that this study is not descriptive.

D. ​Inferential, because the statistics are used to make an inference about the population

Correct, the objective of this study is obtain information from the population with a sample and then use any method to estimate the population mean, the parameter of interest.

PLEASE HELP!! Identify the minium value of the function
timama [110]
Because this is a positive parabola, it opens upwards, like a cup, and the vertex dictates what the minimum value of the function is.  In order to determine the vertex, I recommend completing the square.  Do that by first setting the function equal to 0 and then moving the 9 to the other side by subtraction.  So far: x^2+6x=-9.  Now, to complete the square, take half the linear term, square it, and add that number to both sides.  Our linear term is 6.  Half of 6 is 3 and 3 squared is 9.  So add 9 to both sides. x^2+6x+9=-9+9.  The right side reduces to 0, and the left side simplifies to the perfect square binomial we created while completing this process.  (x+3)^2=0.  Move the 0 back over and the vertex is clear now.  It is (-3, 0).  Therefore, 0 is the minimum point on your graph.  The first choice above is the one you want.

Tom, Sam and Matt are counting drum beats.
umka2103 [35]

Answer: 40\ beats

Step-by-step explanation:

Knowing the information provided in the exercise, you need to find the Least Common Multiple (L.C.M) in order to solve it.

You can follow these steps:

1- You must descompose 2, 5 and 8 into their prime factors:

2=2\\5=5\\8=2*2*2=2^3

2- And finally, you must multiply the commons and non commons with the highest exponent:

L.C.M=2^3*5=40

Therefore, the answer is: 40\ beats
