Answer:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

Step-by-step explanation:

The population is the set of all the elements. And the sample is a subset of the population.

The sample is used to make conclusions regarding the population.

A poll is conducted from the target population to determine the general opinions of the individuals of that population.

The basic method of polling is to select a few thousand individuals from the population and ask their opinions on a certain subject.

The poll will result usually in two values, the proportion of individual in favor and the proportion of individual not in favor.

Consider the example below.

The polling done to determine the favorability of the new brand of tea. The polling was done using a few hundred members of the tea drinking community of a country. The poll resulted as follows:

In favor = 72%

Not in favor = 28%

The population is the entire tea drinking community of a country.

In this case the sample consist of few 100 people of the tea drinking community of a country.

19x+rx= -37x+w what is the x
seraphim [82]

Answer:

x = w / (56 + r)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation :

19x + rx= -37x + w ; find x

Collecting like terms

19x + rx + 37x = w

Factorizing x in the Left hand side

x(19 + 37 + r) = w

x(56 + r) = w

Therefore we can obtain x by dividing both sides by (56 + r)

x(56 + r) / (56 + r) = w / (56 + r)

x = w / (56 + r)

A jar contains 8 marbles numbered 1 through 8. an experiment consists of randomly selecting a marble from the jar, observing the
zepelin [54]
There are 8 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn and numbered. 
{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8}
There are 4 possible outcomes for a card being selected from a standard deck.
{ <span>hearts, diamonds, clubs, spades}
So the number of outcomes in the sample space would be 8 x 4 = 32.

In the event "an even number is drawn", there are only 4 possible outcomes for a marble being drawn, {2,4,6,8}, whereas there are still 4 possible outcomes for a suit. So the number of outcomes in the event is 4 x 4 = 16.

</span><span>In the event "a number more than 2 is drawn and a red card is drawn", there are 6 possible outcomes for the marble being drawn, {3,4,5,6,7,8}, whereas there are only two possible suits for a card being selected as red, {heart, diamond}. So the number of outcomes in this event is 6 x 2 = 12.

In the event </span><span>"a number less than 3 is drawn or a club is not drawn", the number drawn could be 1 or 2 whereas a spade/heart/diamond could be selected. So the number of outcomes is 2 x 3 = 6.</span><span>
