A researcher posts a newspaper advertisement offering 520 in exchange for participation in a short study. The researcher accepts

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

It's a valid sample because the first five people were selected to participate.

Step-by-step explanation:

True because random people who saw the advertisement responded. By chance, not every person who saw the advertisement answered, therefore it was random, but it would be more random if he decided to reject the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth person, and only the first, third, fifth, seventh, and ninth were chosen.

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (4, –1) and has slope 3?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

y+1=3(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given a slope of 3 and a point (4,-1).

We need to find the equation of the line in point-slope form

Point-slope form is given as y-y1=m(x-x1), where m is the slope, and (x1,y1) is a point

We have all of the needed information to substitute into the formula

First, let's label the values of everything to avoid any confusion

m=3

x1=4

y1=-1

now substitute into the formula *remember, the formula has SUBTRACTION, and we have a NEGATIVE number, so we'll end up subtracting a negative*

y--1=3(x-4)

simplify

y+1=3(x-4)

That's it!

Hope this helps :)

Hank has to drain his pool so repairs can be done on a crack on the bottom. The company coming to fix the pool is scheduled to a

Alik [6]

Answer:

The answer to the question: "Will Hank have the pool drained in time?" is:

Yes, Hank will have the pool drained in time.

Step-by-step explanation:

To identify the time Hank needs to drain the pool, we can begin with the time Hank has from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM in minutes:

Available time = 6 hours * 60 minutes / 1 hour (we cancel the unit "hour")
Available time = 360 minutes

Now we know Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool, we're gonna calculate the volume of the pool with the given measurements and the next equation:

Volume of the pool = Deep * Long * Wide
Volume of the pool = 2 m * 10 m * 8 m
Volume of the pool = 160 m^3

Since the drain rate is in gallons, we must convert the obtained volume to gallons too, we must know that:

1 m^3 = 264.172 gal

Now, we use a rule of three:

If:

1 m^3 ⇒ 264.172 gal
160 m^3 ⇒ x

And we calculate:

$x = \frac{160 m^{3}*264.172 gal }{1m^{3} }$ (We cancel the unit "m^3)
x = 42267.52 gal

At last, we must identify how much time take to drain the pool with a volume of 42267.52 gallons if the drain rate is 130 gal/min:

Time to drain the pool = $\frac{42267.52gal}{130\frac{gal}{min} }$ (We cancel the unit "gallon")
Time to drain the pool = 325.1347692 minutes
Time to drain the pool ≅ 326 minutes (I approximate to the next number because I want to assure the pool is drained in that time)

As we know, Hank has 360 minutes to drain the pool and how it would be drained in 326 minutes approximately, we know Hank will have the pool drained in time and will have and additional 34 minutes.
