Answer:

32 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the patrolman's rate in miles per hour during the shift. Since we want to find miles per hour, we must divide the miles he drove by the number of hours.

rate = miles / hours

He drove 272 miles.

rate = 272 miles / hours

He drove for 8 hours and 30 minutes. There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. One half of 60 is 30. Therefore, we can also say he drove eight and a half, or 8.5 hours.

rate= 272 miles / 8.5 hours

rate = 32 miles / hour

rate= 32 mph

His average rate during the shift was 32 miles per hour.

Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and cos ∠X = 2.5 over 5 and 59 hundredths. Triangles XYZ
adell [148]

Dilation involves changing the size of a shape

<h3>How to determine the relationship between the trigonometry ratios</h3>

From the question, we understand that:

The dilation of triangle XYZ gives triangle ACB

This means that, the following are corresponding points

  • Points X and A
  • Points Y and C
  • Points Z and B

The above means that:

The relationships between the trigonometry ratios of both triangles are:

cos(X) = cos(A), cos(Y) = cos(C) and cos(Z) = cos(B)

<h3>How to determine the measures of segments AC and AB</h3>

In (a), segments XY and XZ corresponds to the segments AC and AB

So, the product of the lengths of XY and XZ and the scale factor will result in the lengths of AC and AB,

i.e.

AC = 2 * XY and AB = 2 * XZ

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. Biased

Step-by-step explanation:

A sampling method in which the members of the sample are not representative of the population, such that some members of the population have a higher or lower probability within the sample which is indicative that not all members of the population are sampled

A biased sample is a non random sample and the can lead to misleading data conclusion

In the question, the sampling of student opinion about the school cafeteria among students who are on the lunch line and so prefer the school cafeteria leaves out the portion of the population that get their lunch from alternative sources.
